Texas passes bill to let chaplains serve as counselors in schools

[onthedarkside]

 

Texas lawmakers have passed a bill that will allow unlicensed chaplains into schools to serve in school counseling positions. 

 

The law, passed in a 84-60 vote in the state House Wednesday, will allow school districts to decide whether they want a chaplain who isn’t certified by the state working alongside counselors and mental health services in their schools. 

 

The legislation already passed the Texas Senate and now will go to the desk of Gov. Greg Abbott (R), who is likely to sign it into law.

Where / when has theocracy ever been the right answer?

 

If only the angry scared racist elderly white fundamentalist christian zealot nationalists had more sense - it wouldn’t be so easy for charlatan politicians to exploit them.

No huge problem with this as long as they weed out the sexual predators.
