Governor Greg Abbott is directing the Texas Department Of Public Safety to ramp up security near "religious spaces". Abbott is calling on the Texas Department of Public Safety to boost security at faith-based sites. Unlike religious services, schools are not optional, and yet campuses across Texas struggle to afford even a single resource officer. Will police presence be pulled from these public spaces so resources can be redirected toward churches that often already employ private security? Meanwhile, schools remain cash-poor, struggling for the most basic safety resources.
