It may be students opening the Bible and asking uncomfortable questions.Subscribe to Filtered with TJ Walker for sharp, independent political commentary without the spin.#FilteredWithTJWalker #TJWalker #TexasSchools #BibleInSchools #TexasPolitics #ChristianNationalism #PublicEducation #ChurchAndState #BibleCurriculum #PoliticalCommentary #EducationNews #ReligiousFreedom
