If they gave an Academy Award for Best Religious Imposter, Greg Abbott would surely run away with the prize
Though the Sermon on the Mount blesses the merciful, Texas’ Republican governor continues to treat migrants harshly. “Tiffany Burrow, who directs operations at a nonprofit in Del Rio, said state officials purposely made it hard for her group to coordinate with destination cities and help ease the migrants’ arrival,” reports The New York Times, July 20, 2024.
The new elementary curriculum he backs teaches that the same Sermon on the Mount tells us to “give to the needy.” But Texas rejects Medicaid expansion even though at 21% the state has the highest rate of uninsured people in the nation.
Abbott’s school voucher program takes money from poor students and gives it to parents who can afford to send their children to private schools.
Oh, the hypocrisy.
What would Jesus say?
