Texas has quietly become the front line in a national fight over who we are as a people, and the recent actions coming out of our courts make that painfully clear. In November a federal judge ordered several Texas school districts to remove Ten Commandments displays from classrooms, a ruling that reads more like judicial engineering than neutral law. This isn’t abstract legal theory; it’s a direct attack on the moral scaffolding that built our country and it comes at a time when cultural confidence is supposed to be our strength.
At the same time, parents and taxpayers are watching schools open spare rooms for student prayer and calling them “inclusive” while activists insist there’s nothing to see. The Frisco ISD example — a spare classroom long used by students for prayer, including Muslim students on Fridays — prompted an AG inquiry and furious debate about what neutrality actually looks like in practice. If the Left can demand the removal of Judeo-Christian reminders but cheer new accommodations that normalize foreign practices without honest debate, our cultural balance is being tilted on purpose.
Meanwhile, Texas leadership has finally begun to name the elephant in the room: organizations like CAIR and networks tied to the Muslim Brotherhood are being exposed and restrained at the state level. Governor Greg Abbott’s recent proclamations declaring CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist or transnational criminal entities have rattled the establishment and provoked lawsuits, but they also proved one thing — patriotic leaders are waking up to the reality that not all civil-society actors are benign. Those who reflexively call this “McCarthyism” are either naive or complicit in allowing hostile ideas to take root.
Patriots in Washington and Texas aren’t idle. Rep. Chip Roy and other conservatives have pushed legislation to strip extremist groups of tax advantages and to block the legal importation of systems that conflict with our Constitution, arguing that Sharia adherents who would prioritize a foreign legal code over American law pose a real threat. Voices like Glenn Beck and Roy are not indulging paranoia; they are warning about an actual strategy to normalize parallel legal and social norms inside our institutions. This is precisely the kind of existential cultural debate we used to have the courage to win.
Make no mistake: activist judges and liberal bureaucrats who shrug off our Christian heritage while accommodating foreign practices are reshaping public life by stealth. The passage of state-level measures to enshrine religious displays into classrooms, met with immediate judicial pushback, shows the uneven playing field conservatives face — we must win on law, on policy, and in the court of public opinion. If we allow judges and ideologues to legislate away our cultural bulwarks, the next generation will inherit a country that has lost the moral clarity needed to remain free.
This is a wake-up call to every hardworking American who believes in liberty, tradition, and the rule of law: defend the foundations that made this country great. The debate over Sharia, prayer rooms, and the removal of the Ten Commandments isn’t some niche culture-war headline — it’s a test of whether the West can still recognize and defend its identity. Stand with leaders who put America first, demand accountability from courts and schools, and let your voice be heard before these changes become irreversible.
