With back-to-school season upon us, and certain political officials working to blur the lines between church and state in the schools, I was wondering where everyone came down on this debate? Should the ten commandments or bible stories be taught in public schools?

Religion does not belong in public school. I truly do not understand how certain political leaders think is okay to focus on one religious tradition, i.e. Christianity, to the exclusion of others. If people desire religious education for their children, they should enroll in a religious school.

This 100% and I am saying that as someone currently paying for private Catholic High School.
I am really, really uncomfortable with state sponsored religion.

No. If you want your children to have a religious based education, send them to a religious school or homeschool them.

Sadly teaching Ethics. Empathy, acceptance of others who are different, and the "Golden rule" evaporated somewhere along the way.

That said, 10 commandments have no place in the curriculum of a public school unless perhaps in a highschool level Religions of Man course where they are also teaching the basic tenements of all major religious.

But neither should kids be made to feel that any discussion of their faith (of any kind) or lack thereof is forbidden. People learn acceptance of different points of views by being exposed to them.

If you want religious teaching there are plenty of free options. Virtually every church in the area has Sunday School and bible study options.

Need some advice on renting here in ATX.

Back in May 2021, I rented a property that had sustained damage during the big snow storm. This wasn't disclosed at lease signing. The home leaked every time it rained, mold was found in the home & the LL failed to make repairs that resulted in me falling down a flight of stairs. I moved out& rented an apt for 2 mos before signing a lease on the house I live in now. This house has a serious big problem& I've found mold here too. Continued below

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?
