  The Texas Senate has passed two bills bringing Christianity into public schools. One bill, passed Tuesday, would require a mandatory period of prayer, while another would put the Ten Commandments into every public schoolroom.

The Texas Senate has passed two bills aimed at integrating religious elements into public schools. Senate Bill 1515 requires each classroom to display the Ten Commandments in a "conspicuous place," arguing that they are foundational documents of American legal history. Senate Bill 1396 mandates a daily minute of silence at the start of the school day for students to reflect or pray, with teachers providing guidance on its purpose. These bills, which have stirred debate over the separation of church and state, are now headed to the Texas House for further consideration. Critics argue that these measures could alienate students of different faiths or no faith, while supporters believe they reinforce moral values and historical context in education.
