In a shocking turn of events, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has announced a new law that will require the Ten Commandments to be posted in every public school classroom in the state. Yes, you read that right – the Ten Commandments are coming to a school near you!
In a press conference, Governor Abbott defended the decision, stating, “We believe that by displaying the Ten Commandments in every classroom, we can promote moral values and ethics among our students. Plus, it’s a great way to fill up those empty wall spaces!”
The new law has received mixed reactions from educators and parents alike. One concerned parent, Karen Smith, expressed her disbelief, saying, “I can’t believe they’re making us hang up the Ten Commandments in schools. What’s next, mandatory Bible study during recess?”
On the other hand, history teacher Mr. Johnson welcomed the change, stating, “I think it’s a fantastic idea. Maybe now my students will finally stop cheating on their exams!”
But not everyone is on board with the new law. Student activist Billy Jenkins called the decision “outrageous” and declared, “This is a clear violation of the separation of church and state. I refuse to pledge allegiance to the Ten Commandments!”
In response to the criticism, Governor Abbott brushed off the concerns, stating, “This is about promoting good values, not forcing religion on anyone. Besides, who doesn’t love a good thou shalt not every now and then?”
As the Ten Commandments begin to pop up in classrooms across Texas, one thing is for certain – things are about to get a whole lot more interesting in the Lone Star State. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story, and remember kids, thou shalt not forget to do your homework!
