20. Who is this supposed to exclude?
Wed Sep 3, 2025, 10:12 AM
Wednesday

Anyone whose religion at home is not associated with the particular version of the bible chosen by Paxton.

Jews, Catholics, Orthodox Christians, non-standard Christian groups, Mormons, all non-christian religions, all secular, atheist and agnostic people.

Paxton is now defining who does not belong in Texas.
