“In the article in states that all 5 Democratic members of the board voted against it. It just shows once again how ungodly that party has become. It abhors anything Christian and promotes all sorts of evil. There’s no way anyone who calls themself a Christian should be a part of this God hating party. The Democratic party has turned into an abomination”  Admin

Critics who were trying to remove America’s religious heritage from public school textbooks met their match when they went up against the Texas Board of Education.

Opponents were trying to do away with Moses and the impact that the Ten Commandments and Judeo-Christian principles have had on American law, says Jonathan Saenz.

Saenz, who leads pro-family group Texas Values, says those efforts were rejected by textbook publishers and the state Board of Education.

The decision to keep the Judeo-Christian references is important because, with about five million students in Texas, Texas has a huge impact on the national textbook market.

The New York Times, reporting on the textbooks, said the 10-5 vote by the board of education included all Republicans in favor and all Democrats opposed. The board approved 89 textbooks and other classroom materials.
