Sharia Law Panic, Zohran Mamdani, and the State That Actually Mandated Religious Scripture

Texas just became the first state in the nation to mandate Bible reading in public K-12 public schools — affecting more than 5 million students. The Republican board member who led the charge is also a pastor who declared Texas a "Christian state" on the record. We walk through exactly what was passed, who drove it, and why the Supreme Court precedent going back to 1962 makes this a clear constitutional violation.This episode also examines the full pattern — Ten Commandments in classrooms, chaplains as school counselors, the Bluebonnet Learning curriculum, and the elimination of the sixth grade World Cultures course — and explains why what happens in Texas rarely stays in Texas.Visit us at www.Atheistville.com  for more content from Mike Smithgall and the Atheistville team 📺 Subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/@atheistville 💬 Want to be a guest or submit a question?
