This an attempt by Christian nationalists to force the state of Texas public school children to be indoctrinated in the Christian religion. It is part of the drive by a wealthy billionaire who is also a Christian pastor who has basically bought the Texas legislature to turn it mostly rabid Christian. These people feel it is OK to force public school kids and the public to learn the Christian religion and to force their church doctrines on to others regardless of the beliefs of those other people. Plus they block any other religion from the privileges they demand for themselves. Hugs
