    Texas just passed a law that gives extra funding to public schools that teach the Bible.

      Checked my Texas municipal property taxes recently. We’ve dropped ISD funding by 30% over five years. Meanwhile, city police spending has surged by 25%.

      So I’m paying slightly less than I did five years ago, but over $1k/year of that has simply been a transfer from teachers to cops.
