From Today's Washington Post. Texas showdown: Legal battle looming over Ten Commandments in schools, by Michelle Boorstein.

 

My Norwegian wife Amy says "OOF-DA!" after reading the WaPo.





"Democrats’ divisions over Israel-Gaza war flare at national party meeting"




“I do not belong to any organized political party: I’m a Democrat.”

Democrats like to

"Texas showdown: Legal battle looming over Ten Commandments in schools"


THE TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR TEXAS TEACHERS



  1.  Thou shalt have no other gods before thee, besides the Texas State Legislature.


  1.  Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven playdoh images, and shalt never claim such graven images have eaten thy homework.

  2. Thou shalt not take the name of Greg Abbott in vain.


  1.  Remember Monday, and keep it quiet – thy teacher may not be fully functional yet after the weekend.


  1.  Honor thy janitors and thy lunch ladies, that thy days may be pleasant in the school.


  1.  Thou shalt not doubt.  For doubt kills obedience and causes learning.


  1.  Thou shalt not commit plagiarism – but if thou art caught, blame it on the Democrats.


  1.  Thou shalt not snore.


  1.  Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy school board; you did NOT see any of their members at a strip club.


  1.  Thou shalt not shove it. (Until next year’s summer break.)

However, he resigned in 2017 following the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement.
