This is exactly what is happening in Florida!
Also what they want to happen so they can destroy public education and replace it with taliban training.
North v South yet again. The south will never learn. Literally. They refuse to educate their kids.

The similarities to the Taliban and other extremist religious movements are stunning and everyone who is not a Christian nationalist themselves can see it.
It's not surprising, christians can't tell fact from fiction on any level.
I’m glad someone is realizing how it appears that the GOP is now filling up with crazies that are no different then what the world was fighting against the Taliban. And how they support a dictator want to be, Trump, like in Russia. America stand up for Democracy and the right to vote and accept that systems are in place protect the vote. I’m a Canadian and I don’t want to live next to a dictatorship full of extremists.
Always has been. awful group
We call Christian nationalists “Y’all’qeda.” 😉
@gyvren that,is clever!
If I wanted my kid to talk to a Chaplin at school, I would put him in a religious school.
Exactly. They want it shoved into public schools while private schools are available. The republicans would love nothing more than all institutions of learning to be privatized, capitalized, for profit, and indoctrination centers for their party and to promote their dominance in the economy, land ownership, and wealth, while everybody else is enslaved or submitted to them. That is the entire point of organized religion and churches as well. In essence it is Multi Level Marketing. It only leads us back to the Spanish Inquisition and the dark ages.
Even if he was Charlie Chaplain?

The only wall that needs to be built is one to fully separate church and state.
The gop can now add unconstitutionalist to their curriculum vitae.
They only have A GED NO CV
We’ll the GOP doesn’t have a platform so the uUnconstitutionalist Party sounds about right.
They think they are slick. Not that I'm against religious belief. Using faith as a cover for political aspirations is twisted.
How can the democrat party say that it defends & protects our Constitution when it is the democrat party that has long attacked the 2nd amendment to the constitution & now today the party has called for legislation to pack the supreme courts, abolish the rule of law regarding due process under the law that allows equal representation and counsel. They call for censorship fearing that people can't find out what the truth really is. 1st amendment trashed by democrat desire for control.
Votes have consequences and Biden inflation is just 1 small part of your vote for destruction.
By design Joe Biden has allowed 5 million illegal immigrants into the country. Its isn't accidental.
He told us he cut the deficit but all that really happened was that the Covid relief program had closed & that debt could no longer be counted in the financial reports. He didn't raise taxes to pay for the 3 trillion dollars he spent that added to our national debt. He ordered the treasury to print 3 trillion dollars of new money and that move caused some of the inflation to be passed down so quickly.
can "now" add?
I was in Texas for 3 months way back in 1992 for training while in the Army. That was enough Texas for me. I haven't felt the need to go to Texas since then.
I wouldn't live in Texas or anywhere in the south even if you paid me too. And FYI I'm white
What state do you live in ? Just asking because I've probably lived in or passed through. I'd like to compare them to Texas
Every Texan I have ever met has been reason enough for me to never go to Texas.
That's too bad, Tom, bc there are many good people in Texas who are working hard to turn the state blue. I moved here in the mid 80s and I've loved it. The metro areas are all mostly Democratic. I love living in Texas in spite of the nuts we have in the legislature.

Haha yes they're so separate. Now stand, face the flag and recite, "One nation, under God..." 🤣
@@jeris33 they are separate, your archaic cherry-picked and not USED example has no relevance child. 1892 is when that stupid pledge was created. learn some history kid.

Remove the churches tax exempt status. If they politic they pay taxes

I am so sick of these religious extremists disguising their evil intentions with the Bible. Your religious beliefs are for "You!", not to be forced upon other people.

They now have Ten Commandments- republicans have broken nearly all
And that’s why we need to teach them more!
The Ten Commandments are like the Pirate Code. Just guidelines.
@@Frenite you're slow huh
@@wendyhardin5259 Some seem to view it as a crime checklist.
As an atheist, I live more in line with those commandments than many "Christians" I know.
...Other than the ones about having one god, no graven images, not taking the lord's name in vain, remembering and observing the Sabbath day, and setting up those three stones on Aargaareezem.
@@rickton2517 Depends who you ask. Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that more repetition is good. Since republicans and all of mankind keep breaking the Ten Commandments, we need to ingrain them more into society instead of less. We will never be perfect, but we can at least strive for righteousness.
We desperately need to keep religion OUT of politics and schools!
And then the problems of our society will only get worse!
@@Frenite historically speaking most of our problems have been caused by religion
@@beverly719 Such as?
@@Frenite such as priests molesting children
@Frenite Slavery, Woman's rights. Just to name a few.
I grew up in the Christian education system from K-12 and I am an athiest now because I grew, opened my mind, learned different perspectives, asked questions, and heard people. Life actually happens when you broaden your horizons to learn about others. Maybe there wouldn't be so much hatred and hiding behind religion if everyone did what I did
I'm with you. Same here with school, Notre Dame De Lourdes catholic K-8. Nuns, need I say more. And the whole church experience, I could never wrap my head around it. Stand, sit, kneel, repeat. I would, as a kid, interact with seemingly sane adults. But on sunday, at church, they went loo-loo or sometning and all takling out loud to some invisible daddy in the sky. And then give money. Huh??? All my life this seems koo-koo. It's like I am in some unique club that sees the body snatchers for who they really are.
What a thoughtful comment. I was raised Penacostal in Texas. I could not get away fast enough. You can be spiritual without the threat of eternal hellfire & brimstone.
Same here
Went to Catholic schools from prek-12 and I am agnostic. One thing it did teach me was to simply treat others how I want to be treated. Empathy is important in human relationships
There is nothing wrong with religion as long as it's true religion. True religion is identified by putting others first, by showing God's love to others through service and self sacrifice. Kindness, compassion, respect, are all part of true religion. Selfishness, greed, pride, hatefulness, tribalism, are not religion.
It's not about faith, it's about power.
And money.
It should be about faith
Ooh. Well said.
@@Frenite not in public schools..
@@plutotechIn all schools
This individual, James Talarico, is one of the most thoughtful and well-spoken *Democrats* that I've heard so far. And while the GOP won't give up its death-grip on power in the Lone Star State, the inevitable self-destruction of the GOP and its current death throes need to be closely observed and exposed publicly and Talarico's commentary fits this bill precisely.
He gives me hope as a Texan
I hate to say this but I’m thinking all the weather destruction in Texas will force people to focus on survival not this taurus excreta.
He's proof that the only real Christians today are Democrats
@@jaisonlives when compared to Abbott he is the obviously superior thinker and moral person. Hope he runs for governor, as I think he is about 1000 times better than Orourke.
He also said that " prayer can change the world" while also say that prayer is not what we need for gun violence in this country... sooooooo honestly who care what he says?
isn't that bill a type of INDOCTRINATION & does NOT RESPECT FREEDOM TO PRACTICE ONE'S RELIGIOUS BELIEFS?
Yep. They've abandoned separation of church and state.
how does it prevent someone from practicing their religion exactly?
it's just promoting a certain religion, not restricting the rest.
@@bloodlove93 promoting a "certain" religion is indoctrination and unconstitutional. It's the reason we are American and not British!
But its the RIGHT RELIGION, so it needs to be done. Praise White Jesus!
@@bloodlove93 It's unconstitutional to preference any religion over another. Separation of church and state and we have a right to freedom from religion as well.
The best thing to ever come out of this mess, is real Christ minded people speaking out against it! ❤
If you were christ-minded, you would understand our political structure is evil and that the republicans are simply the less evil option.
Australia had a PM 10 years ago who tried to put pastors into our schools. We were not amused. We are fairly ambivalent about religion.We're not against people practising their religion, but we won't tolerate it being shoved down our throats. His party had to remove him as his archaic beliefs were sinking them. His party was the Liberal Party. They are a conservative party. If you ever visit Australia don't talk about your religious commitment. We don't want to hear it, and you'll hear a few things that will offend you. It's bad enough that they get patriotism indoctrinated into them. The Pledge of Allegiance at school? Really? Cut the kids some slack.
So very well said.
Funny how they called themselves 'Liberal" but then it's a recurrent theme with the UK Conservative party as well, by its very nature Brexit represented 'change' and they should have been completely against it
In reality, 'conservatives' aren't conservative they just want power.. same as the 1930s and 40s 'socialists' were actually all about capitalism, but just for themselves...
It seems like the fascist types will wear any label as long as they keep power
Despite what the name suggests, the Liberal Party of Australia is a center-right to right-wing political party of social conservatives.
Not amused here either. So sick of these worthless extremists. Always on the right (WRONG) side.
@@marcosjuarez7809 So is the party name a trick or what?
Have any of these Republicans realize that there is a lot of people who are not religious that are registered to vote?
Oh yes, they preach about them all the time in their churches. They preach that everyone who doesn't agree with them literally worships the devil, especially Democrats. That's why they're so very motivated to vote, which is why Democrats need to get out and vote.
It's why they're busting their theocratic little heinies to deny non-Republicans the vote.
Hence the redistricting, crazy voter laws against the poor and people of color.
Pay attention to these freaks and take them seriously. They want complete power over you.
According to Repubs, we're "evil" and should be treated as second class citizens because they falsely believe that this country was founded on Christianity. Our founding documents and a little thing called the Treaty of Tripoli show that we are not.
They do not care
Best thing I heard in all of this is “Jesus turned it down.” This was when the state senator mentioned that Jesus himself, according to the Bible, turned down the chance to have political power over the people. I do not follow the faith anymore but this is something I learned in a Protestant Church as a youngster, Jesus was NOT interested in “being in charge” of others.
Jesus was the most humble person, ever.
Soon, parents will need to make a decision about sending their kids to schools. Public schools. Schools are extremely dangerous. I would not want republican "people" running my childrens school, just as I would NOT want Republicans going into my visit with my doctor. This is becoming BAD in America at warp speed. 😢😢

@@akfreed6949 Remember when the SPANISH came to AMERICA, they were burning witches and torturing for the POPE
Heck yeah, Rep Talarico-the way he speaks out AS a Christian starting at 8: 05 or so...we need Christians to speak out and thwart the Christian nationalists, just as we need white people to speak out against racism and work toward changes. The insiders have the credibility, and I'm thankful to those who take it as a duty to confront these social ills.
I strongly agree. As a person, who ponders religious philosophy, I believe that the variety of traits and behaviors in humanity have been good, as whole for the advancement of humanity. This includes what some call 'gender variants'. Even so called primitive cultures have recognized different types of them as having different talents, and thus able to find ways to benefit the community as a whole. Ans this fits in with certain teaching of Jesus, of how we should 'love and treat, one another'.
Walking the walk, whether the road to Emmaus or anything/anywhere else.
Well yeah, the "wrong denominations" would be the first against the wall if this crowd gets their way
Well, as far as they're concerned, Anglicans, Roman Catholics, basically any Christians who don't practice Voodoo, aren't Christians at all.
I am a liberal Christian and I agree. Christian nationalists must be stopped.
These individuals should not be allowed to spew their religion into the ears of the American people. This is the very reason why our founding fathers came to this country to get escape religious persecution!
@tamarabartolo "came to this country to escape religious persecution" Yeah, and now Leftists are persecuting evangelical Christians, by saying they have no right to participate in the political process, or the public forum in general.

@@michelebella677 Sad. It should not be. I remember taking care of a quad who was poor, years ago. He gave all of his money to the church, and they did nothing for him. Yet they drove Mercedes and wore fur coats. I picked him up at church, and the question of the day, among his friends was.."how much money did you donate to God today?".
And they should pay taxes
@@lisal9829 Very very sad.
I have been a born again Christian for almost 50 years. I am TOTALLY against what these bills are trying to do. There are so many people in power who want to shove their agenda down children's throats. School should be for opening children's minds and encouraging them to be lifelong learners. They should be taught how to think for themselves, by giving them the tools to discern the truth and reject lies. I think a lot of the "conservative" laws are being pushed out of fear, by old, white men who are beginning to realize that they will soon be obsolete in our society. I hope people will realize this and rise up and vote these dinosaurs out of office.
So you support the Christian hating, baby killing, child grooming Democrats? Time for self reflection
It won't help. Power corrupts. The kind of people who seek power, tend to have their own interests at heart. The system is set up to award cheaters and liars. Ultimately, there is only one true king. Even the greatest human king is less than a pale shadow of him. His kingdom is coming, however long it seems to take.
Jesus would not want people to do this!
I think you need a bigger mouth. 😁
Thank you. And l sincerely believe that most Christians agree with you
Can anyone explain to me the difference between republicans and ISIS?
Excellent point.
Or even the Taliban?
They are the same hate but different ideology, but the same hate. Remember there's 2 roads good or hate or black or white very different or a lie and the other truth or better yet God or Devil. And ISIS and Republicans = HATE the same expression but different ideology. Just like witchcraft they say white equals good and black equals bad but both are evil especially something like that comes from the devil, because even the devil comes as a angel of light doesn't meant his good but his evil, the Republicans have perverted the Bible and The Constitution of The United States of America, just like The Devil perverted everything that God created for good and also the devil perverted The Bible.

He literally believes " prayer can change the world". That's the last thing we need! It doesn't give me hope that our representatives belive in things without any evidence!
@@kyleisaacson The power of belief has a long history of being able to make notable changes to the world. The problem is that people think that power comes from a god and not from ourselves. If it came from a god, you wouldn't see faith-based miracles in every religion. I actually have a science-based explanation for faith-based miracles based on quantum mechanics, the essence of consciousness, and the multiverse that explains faith based miracles but it would take too long to fully explain detail - but essentially, if all possibilities exist simultaneously until they are viewed (ie, experienced by moving forward in time), then prayer and belief is simply aligning ourselves with the reality where the thing we want actually occurs. It's not a god that does it, but a strong belief that a god could make it happen could be strong enough to attract that reality if it's possible. That's why every faith has examples of this - it's the strength of your belief, not the person you're asking. Furthermore, this same idea would also explain the placebo effect - there is a power in truly believing something, but that power comes from us, not a god.

Christianity has been the bane of my existence since I was 15. I came out as trans to my mom and step dad. They sent me to a Christian summer camp to "fix" me. The counselors were allowed to hit you with a paddle if it was determined you were not engaging into the bible studies or prayers or just about anything. They shaved my head on the first day there and forced all boys to wear suits and ties and all girls to wear ankle length dresses. We had no privacy from the staff whatsoever the whole time, even in the showers a staff member would stand there and monitor us. The summer I spent there traumatized me for years afterward. 3 months after I turned 18 I moved out of my moms house and my grandfather accepted me into his. Now I'm 32 years old, I only talk to my mom a couple of times a year, usually when I see her at family gatherings. She has no respect for me, even after I was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2020. She believes that is her God's punishment to me for being trans. Luckily I my best friend and his family are super accepting and have basically taken me in as another daughter. I now share an apartment with my friend and his mom and sister live in our town and his other sister lives 30 minutes away. Last night was mother's day and we also celebrated his mom's birthday at the same time. I just want to say it feels wonderful to be a part of a loving family that cares for each other. And the funny part is, my friends mom lives a pretty strict catholic life but as she says, God made us all different so we can learn to accept each other just as we are. She calls me her daughter, uses my correct name and pronouns.
Your life and your light have more integrity and love in them then all the hateful close-minded bigots who have ever lived, will ever know. I want to thank you for surviving through all of that to share with the world your story, your truth and your light. I am deeply sorry for what you have been put through, and how you have been treated. I wish this world was a better place, but it always seems the best of us are taken too soon, and the most wicked and vile endure. Please take some small solace and peace in knowing that your courage in the face of certain death is a powerful message for those who still struggle to find their own light and that your life will continue to help lead the lost towards real love. Go forward with your head held high sister!
I'm sorry to hear about your struggles, but I'm happy for you that you found a loving family eventually. I wish I knew why some people are so close-minded that they'd choose an old and outdated book over their own child. I'm not religious at all and I've never been, but if I were I wouldn't want to worship a god who told me to shun my own family. It wouldn't be worthy of my worship and adoration. Any god worth its salt would make your mother see you as a person worthy of love, regardless of your gender identity. By the way, I think it's bold of them to take a chance that their god approves of their actions. What if your mother's god became angry with her for not accepting you as you are? I wouldn't want to take that chance if I were religious.

NEVER reward a Republican with your vote.
Just a true run down & little history lesson for you to think about.
You would do well to look these facts up to check accuracy personally.
Not all of the founding fathers of our written constitution were devout believers in God & Jesus Christ as a few were openly against organized religion all together. Check that out.
Now the history of what democrats today are calling = Gun Violence & mass shootings.
Not a single mass shooting or school shooting has been committed by any NRA affiliated member to date since records have been recorded.
A very small percentage of the mass shootings have been committed by mentally ill conservative individuals. But the vast majority of these mass shootings have been committed by liberal democrat mentally ill individuals that snap and take the lives of innocent people because they quit caring about their own life, so they care not about other lives.
The Southern Democrat party went to war so it could expand slavery into the western states of Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado. They refused to pay their states taxes on the war of 1776 against the British.
After losing the Civil War the Southern Democrat States imposed Black Laws on all black free citizens so they could not own guns of any kind. Those anti gun laws were the start of democrat's gun rights battles to deny that 2nd amendment right to self-protection. It was passed the day after the war officially came to an end with surrender documents signed. 1 day after the war ended & the blacks were now free people no longer slaves. Look it up.
Every single past President of the USA that has been murdered in office was assassinated by a liberal angry democrat voter. Research this fact to find the truth is as I say.

it hasn't been in the shadows... it's been going on for decades, everyone has just been ignoring it.
That's correct! I was raised by evangelicals that support the current GOP push. Religious programs were on TV all day. There were organizations to promote it back then too.
Yes, decades. One of the proponents of unification of church and state is Alliance Defending Freedom (behind the Mifepristone ban by the Texas federal judge, and behind the recent Texas bill about the 10 Commandments in every classroom). Besides the ADF, there are numerous "ministries" like Focus on the Family and others, working for this. And there's ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council, active in every state legislature, writing bills and having their Republican minions introduce and pass the "morality" legislation.
Here in Arizona, we've got ALEC and CAP ("Center for Arizona Policy promotes and defends the foundational values of life, marriage and family, and religious freedom") openly working hand in glove. That CAP mission statement is a lie, because they promote anti-LGBT, anti-women's health, and have passed a school voucher program (taxpayer monies) that can be used for religious schools.

Thank you for this coverage. The decline of secular representation by the governments is shocking.
"I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church & State." -- Thomas Jefferson
I agree and I am trying to get my 31 year old to pay attention.
The increase in secular representation by the government is shocking
@@brothertaro2008 Thomas Jefferson in a letter that has no legal authority. Regardless separation of Church and state doesnt mean an athiest government or secular humanist government.
@K p the Treaty of Tripoli, which was unanimously passed by the Senate in the 1790s, explicitly states that the United States is not a Christian nation and Carrie’s the force of law as an official treaty. Our founding fathers disagreed with you.
As a parent I think religion should stay in the church of the parents choosing. This country is full of different religions. Why are they even having this conversation?
Right on James!! Thank you thank you thank you!!
This terrifies me. I KNOW religious people. Taking out counselors and replacing them with religious people who have their own agenda will lead to kids with MORE emotional problems, more suicides snd possibly more homeless kids. This is absolutely criminal.
I have been astounded since I found out how closely tied Christianity and nazism were, that we do not speak out against it more here in America. From what I can tell by how my family acts it was always considered impolite to openly criticize or disagree with someone’s beliefs (even if they were authoritarian or theocratic). I think we are started paying the price for that mindset in 2016. And it we be a long hard road to bay that bill in full.

There are quotes from people who went through the rise of fascism in mid-century Germany that those who wanted civility made things worse and those who strongly opposed fascism were seen as impolite.
Tone-policing while your nation is becoming fascist is not appropriate.
It has never been en vogue to attack religion but it is one of the fountains of hate and fascism in this world. It *should* be utterly destroyed once and for all.
@@WS-dd8ow : great comment!
@@bogusmcbogus2637 I am a practicing Christian and a left leaning Democrat. Your intolerance of religion is both disturbing and distorted. You can find and probably know of many examples of bad religion. But there are people who try very hard to live the Christian ideal . of love. More of us need to speak up against Christian nationalism. However, the only societies I know that tried to stamp out all religion were soviet union and peoples republic of China. Not exactly enlightened societies

So glad you’re reporting on this.
The Constitution of the United States was laid out with freedom for all. The US military fought for that in the 1860s during the Civil War. It wasn’t until the 1960s that it started to come to true fruition, about 100 years later. In between that time we also fought against fascism in WWII, again for freedom for ALL. From 2001-2021 we fought radicals bent on taking our freedom away and kept them from further attacks on our shores.
Why did we sacrifice, service members of many generations, for our own citizens to try to destroy freedom within our own borders!? We as a nation MUST fight the GOP at every election (local/national) to keep America free!
THIS WE’LL DEFEND! 🇺🇸💜
Well said. Too many forget our history, what freedoms we enjoy that these movements will take away from us.
The GOP is the true enemy of America.

The Founding fathers wisely included "Separation of church and state" in the US Constitution. "Chaplains" of any kind in schools, especially as counselors, clearly violates this principle.
Except they didn’t include separation of church and state in the constitution. That’s a phrase coined by Thomas Jefferson.
@@Frenite "Except they didn’t include separation of church and state in the constitution. That’s a phrase coined by Thomas Jefferson."
Please quote the first line of the first amendment in reply to this comment. And while you do that, take your blinders of and have a read what it says.
@@Frenite They did not include that specific phrase, it is a convenient shorthand for the exact text in first amendment about religion.
@@weerwolfproductions I think you mispelled "the treaty of Tripoli." Although it's implied in the first amendment, it's only ever actually written in a treaty with Barbary pirates to stop attacks on Americans merchant marine ships. Fun fact, when you look at the legal definition of "duress," the treaty of Tripoli has a startling implication.
@@Frenite No reply from you, so here it goes:
"*Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion*"
Congress making no law respecting an establishment of religion means that congress is not allowed to put into effect any laws that support religion. A law saying the 10 commandments should be displayed in public schools is government promoting religion. And that goes against the 1st amendment.
Separation of church and state for a reason. The first settlers left Europe for religious freedom and entered into a constitution of separation of church and state. Now 2023 we are heading back into that nightmare but no other places to move to.
The South was allowed to create their own horrid education to indoctrinate their future generations. The US allowed this and now we are paying the price
_"The first settlers left Europe for religious freedom"_
Well, yes and no. They did leave because they were prevented from practicing the _particulars_ of their religion, but that was only because said particulars included forcing others to practice Christianity as they did. IOW, back in Europe they were not free to oppress others, and they didn't like that.
_"and entered into a constitution of separation of church and state"_
Oh, no, the *_first_* settlers certainly did *_not_* want that, and it was a long time before the 1st amendment of the COTUS came into being.
@@AlbertaGeek Our constitution is not looked at thru the lens of the first settlers. The Federalist society will adamantly tell you The Founding Fathers. And who do we consider the Founding Fathers??? It surely is not the first settlers
@@NopeUghUghAbsolutelyNot _"Our constitution is not looked at thru the lens of the first settlers"_
I didn't say it was. Read my post again.
@@AlbertaGeek You literally took parts of the constitution and started talkin about the first settlers. What exactly was your correlation then?
I remember in elementary school, at least in first grade, a religious man would come and lecture our class for an hour or two, drilling religion in our heads at a young age. What did THAT have to do with education? And yes it was Christian lecturing only. I later found out they weren't supposed to do that in schools, in Michigan. I wonder if someone reported our (horrific) school to the Board of Education about that, because those lectures stopped completely.
At Little Lake elementary school in Norwalk, Ca, way back in 1984, my teacher, Mr. Ballard, addeed bible verses to the end of the Pledge. He added them alphabetically, a new one each week.
Yes, this was a public school.
@@davidtingley9978 How charming. It's interesting that some people think public school should be Sunday school.
In the early/middle 70s a Christian church came into our school to show a movie. The teacher's didn't review the movie, they trusted the preacher. It was in black and white, showing us about communism. It started,, men were shoving bamboo sticks into children's ears, and it was real! We all stood up, ran out screaming and crying, horrifying. We were 13, in Michigan..
@@davidtingley9978Reading a BIBLE passage by the teacher is very different from an outsider coming in and lecturing. When a teacher reads her students this is a wonderful thing. Regardless if it BIBLE, KORAN, comic books, Mark Twain, Peter Pan ... . Today's American children are not read to any more. This is why Americans have started to believe in oeipke like

"Why is a rainbow in the classroom indoctrination, but the 10 commandments not?" I love this dude.
The reason they call the rainbow flag indoctrination is to make the word meaningless when we say putting Champlains in school is historically considered indoctrination.
Maybe because not all Americans are Christian???
@@FinarfinNoldorin exactly. What the CNs want is for White/evangelical/cis/hetero to be considered normal and everyone else to be considered outsiders, unworthy, not to be accommodated. As an old Jewish guy, this is why my wife and I recently secured passports.
@@FinarfinNoldorin freedom of religion means for all religion in peace it does not mean just christianity you apes
You're asking the right question. Remember my grandmother talking about when Christian missionaries came to China and pretty much forced their faith down the throats of everyone. They bribe officials to open Christian schools, and these schools would openly torture kids that didn't pray to god, or act like a Christian. Majority of the Christian faith is built on force indoctrination.

Separation of Church and State needs to be enforced.
It's not a law so how do you enforce it. The principal needs to be applied equally. If the Bible is prohibited the rainbow flag of the lgbt cult must be too

Thank you, Rep Talarico! You bring hope that we may yet free our state from this twisted infestation of religious hypocrisy.
I am an outspoken atheist living in Austin, TX, and I've been warning people how dangerous religion is for decades. It teaches magical thinking, the opposite of critical thought.
Thank you for speaking out against. I too am a Christian and this type of actions by these groups is precisely against Jesus teachings. We have to be inclusive equally in all areas. This is why our founding fathers separated church and state.
Good Job Rep James! Keep them on their toes!
How is this not indoctrination?
I just read that Talarico has essentially been geremandered out of his current seat...as a Texan voter who is disturbed by many recent turns of event, I truly, truly, TRULY hope he runs for for federal/national office (ie Congress or Senate), because he'd have my vote!!! Even though I'm a very progressive atheist.
I'm not from Texas but, as a fellow atheist, he would definitely have my support. Especially in a primary.

@@roboparks What censoring? Nobody is proposing that people of Texas who so choose can't go to church or be counselled by a chaplain in their own free time. The discussion is about not imposing Christianity onto public education.
@@roboparks So you agree? Censorship is bad as we should allow any and all religions to have a place in our schools. Christianty, Islam, Satanism.. All of them should be available to everyone.

PLEASE speak out often and decisively. I am not a Christian any more, but was in the ministry for many years. I would have taken every opportunity to call this idolatry what it is; but Christians today are either part of the cult, or shockingly silent.
@@traceybrenneman2291 the problem is that the right loves to be loud. They're very good at it. There's still lots of Christians who see through this, but a lot of us have left organized religion for various reasons, and few of us like arguing with people who won't listen.
I understand, but it's not about arguing. It's about being very clear that this stance is not ok. What they choose to do with that information is their responsibility.
You get to be on the list of Christans who I don't despise. Keep it up. You make it more likely for people to give your religion a shot

What happened to separation of church and state?
Nothing
It’s Texas.
Donald Trump, Michael Flynn, Margery Taylor Green, Loren Boebert, and all the ultra conservative Christian and political leaders affiliated with The Moral Majority movement in 1980's Reagan years. If you do a little research on Paul Weyrich, Rev. Jerry Falwell, Cato Institute, Heritage Foundation, Federalist Society, Koch Brothers, you will see that rich business owners and corporations control America with their billions of dollars and religious beliefs. It is just like the Dark Ages in Europe, except they're running a more sophisticated scam because a lot of Americans are somewhat educated.😟😠😡

I'll hold on to the hope that his energy and determination will save us. I hope there are more like him who will bring us out of this mess we seem to have fallen into. When I was younger, people helped each other out, neighbors were kind and friendly, people belonged to different political parties but no one took such dramatic sides as they do now. People who used to be friendly and kind are now armed and fearful. It just doesn't feel good here lately.

It amazes me that this country was based on freedom of religion. That was one of the "baits" the founders used to bring people out here to start America. They even put it in the Constitution. Thank God for that! I can choose to be religious or not, THIS IS AMERICA! I have always been proud of being American, my father instilled that in me. THIS is the closest thing to losing that as I have ever come.
Yep, well observed.
Thomas Jefferson believed so much in separation of church and state he wouldn't declare Thanksgiving a holiday, because it reminded him of the British crown dictating what religion and what holidays you should observe
Our Creator, vagueness at best, the flowery language written by Euopean ex-pats in the 13 colonies about land grants from Great Britain, France, and Spain to import back to the nations of their origin. Marzipan 'n' Snuff.
Actually, the United States wasn't founded on freedom of religion. Yes, some groups csme over here to practice their religious beliefs, but for some came over here because THEY could not stand thr fact people disagreed with them
The U.S. was founded because colonists did not,want to obey British law and not be able to vote on those laws.
Some of the signers of the Constitusion were deists. They believed there was GOD, but they didn't believe the BIBLE was an instruction book of Godliness.
The Constitution came later, but the draw to the US was not freedom of Religion, hence all the BS in Salem, etc.
My best advice from one parent to another never ever ever allow your children at school to be seen in a closed room behind closed doors with any kind of religious counselor they're highly likely of being molested or being groomed for there cult

I fully admit I've avoided politics for years cause i just cannot be bothered, but it feels like the pandemic just kick started a level of insanity with our politics that we've literally taken HUGE steps backwards.
it wasn't the pandemic honestly. When the GOP and evangelicals made a devil's pact in the 1980s under Reagan, that was the start of the insanity. First, they got to hate on gays and ignore AIDS because that was "gay's cancer". Then the GOP had simmering insanity through the 90s during Clinton and became extremely "holier than thou" when Clinton got his knob waxed. Also this was when FOX propaganda really gained steam. Then it went first level insane after 9/11, then second level insane when a black man became POTUS. Then Trump, the ultimate narcissist Baby Boomer, became president and reflected who they really are, so their insanity became complete. And that, my friend, is a history of America -- or at least the only America I've ever known.
Avoiding politics is a luxury you can only afford when politics avoids you. Once it starts messing up everyone's life, you no longer have that option.
