- Texas Dem James Talarico rips 'un-Christian' court decision on what's allowed in classrooms
Texas Democrat James Talarico criticized a federal court ruling upholding a Texas law requiring classrooms to display the 10 Commandments, calling it 'deeply un-Christian' and an affront to religious minorities. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the law, but Talarico, a Presbyterian seminarian and state representative, condemned it as incompatible with Christian teachings of loving all neighbors. He also criticized Attorney General Ken Paxton for supporting the decision.
