Texas SB 10 proves politicians love wasting taxpayer cash on performative culture wars while real issues rot. Mandating Ten Commandments posters in classrooms? $1.2M estimated printing costs plus millions more defending lawsuits when schools should focus on math/science literacy. Section 3(a) forces King James Bible wordingโignoring Jewish/Catholic translations.
Democrats tried adding Hindu/Buddhist texts via amendments, but GOP killed them. Louisianaโs identical law already blocked by courts, yet Texas barrels ahead knowing legal fees will bleed districts dry.
Prioritize education, not virtue-signaling placards thatโll end up in storage after injunctions. Fund STEM teachers, not courtroom battles over Moses.
