Yeah, because there's no way it's constitutional; it would be a monumental waste of everyone's time to even entertain such a bill. The Louisiana bill is likely going to be tossed out in court, too, unless their goal is (and my hypothesis is that it is) to try to get before SCOTUS and dishonestly argue that the "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." doesn't apply to State legislatures—which is a state vs federal power inversion I don't think even the current SCOTUS would be willing to entertain.
Yeah, because you see, there's still that pesky First Amendment. I hope you fall on a cactus, you disingenuous ghoul. I'm so fucking tired of the political theatre from Abbott and his cronies.

I don't understand how people don't see this for what it is. It's a political response to drag queen story time and spicy books at the school library.
Who knows where it will end, I'd prefer it if everyone stopped using children to further their agenda.

Libraries:
Voluntary attendance
No required reading lists
Religious texts from most faiths, and books about those religions
Schools:
Penalties for both parents and students for attendance issues
State-mandated curriculums
Literally just ten rules from the Old Testament
It's not a political response to anything, it's a fear-based, lizard-brain reaction to it being broadly socially acceptable for queer people to exist. Decades of hate- and fearmongering, indoctrination, and tribalism caused this, not the mere existence of queer people in public.
