"I think it’s very bad for religion, and it’s very bad for public education," said the Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, the president and CEO of Interfaith Alliance.

Interfaith Alliance is a national organization that works to unite people of different faiths and beliefs and promote religious freedoms for all.

It’s against the idea of Bible stories like the Good Samaritan or the Golden Rule being taught in Texas elementary schools.

"Don’t you want control over how your faith is taught? Don’t you want to tell those stories yourself and be the one who imparts the meaning of those stories instead of having someone who you don’t know talk about your own faith?" Raushenbush said.
