**Texas Moves Closer to Introducing Ten Commandments in Classrooms: A Divine Comedy**
In a bold move that has left educators scratching their heads and students rolling their eyes, Texas lawmakers are inching closer to introducing the Ten Commandments into public school classrooms. The proposal, dubbed “Operation Thou Shalt Learn,” aims to ensure that every child knows not just their ABCs, but also the importance of not coveting their neighbor’s Wi-Fi password.
State Representative Billy Bob “The Bible Belt” Johnson, who spearheaded the initiative, stated, “We believe that if kids can recite the Ten Commandments, they’ll be less likely to text during math class. Plus, it’s a great way to keep them from Googling answers!”
Critics, however, are concerned about the potential for confusion. “What happens when a kid asks, ‘Is it okay to steal a pencil if I’m just borrowing it?’” asked local teacher and part-time philosopher, Ms. Linda “I’m Not a Prophet” Thompson. “I mean, I can barely get them to understand the Pythagorean theorem!”
In a surprising twist, the proposal has garnered support from some unlikely allies. “I think it’s a great idea,” said local atheist and stand-up comedian, Chuck “The Unbeliever” Johnson. “If they’re going to teach the Ten Commandments, they should also teach the Ten Commandments of Comedy. ‘Thou shalt not bomb on stage’ is a lesson every kid should learn!”
As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: Texas is determined to make education a little more… divine. And who knows? Maybe next year, they’ll introduce the Book of Revelations as a thrilling new elective. After all, nothing says “fun” like apocalyptic literature!
