In my school in Texas it seems to be normal to quote a bible verse during assemblies and stick verses up around the school. I know that Texas has passed an optional bible infused curriculum but this is for elementary, I’m in high school.

Anyways I find it kind of odd because there is a diverse spectrum of religion in my school and while Christianity outweighs most, obviously, I still think it’s unfair to other students who have to sit there and listen to someone pray to god and quote his scripture while many people follow a different faith. I started to wonder if it was even legal to begin with given the first amendment but I wasn’t able to find anything that gave me a clear answer. Can someone provide me with an answer?

We live in a post constitutional country.

The truth of it is that it is not legal or constitutional at all, but they want that to change, so do what they want to do, wait for someone to sue them, and then challenge it, appeal, appeal, and they have the corrupt Justices in the Supreme Court bench right now that would side with them, making it defacto constitutional. New law of the land will be that America is a Christian Nation.

They are corrupting the nation and tearing down important institutions as we speak.

Welcome to Christian Nationalism. Register to vote when you can, and don’t vote for Republicans.

You definitely don't know scripture. Why did those things happen? Sin! In the case of Job, God let Satan rule over him but wasn't allowed to touch Job. I suggest you read it again, preferably in the presence of true Christians. Man allowed himself to sin, God prepared a plan before the foundations of the earth was formed in sending his Son to die in yours and everyone who accepts that free gift. God is love. God is kind, God is righteous.

Leave Christianity alone. If Muslims were the majority in your school. Nobody would say a thing because the Government is to woked down to challenge such a thing. I applaud Texas for doing this in schools. If you sit back and listen you might just learn something about morales.
