A gentle reminder.
In case the bill Texas senators passed early Monday — the one allowing publicly funded foster care and adoption agencies to turn away non-Christian, unmarried or gay prospective parents — becomes some sort of ugly trend, it’s worth noting a few of the ways it’s wrongheaded.

Limiting clients to only one Religion establishes a state religion. This is unconstitutional under the establishment clause of the First Amendment.
