Ooooh, so that's what happened to former Secretary of Education for The State of Oklahoma, Ryan "coke nose" Walters. Rejected his chump Nazi ass right into Texas. I wonder how long it'll be before Texas takes lowest 50th in literacy and cognitive thinking? Haha right wing "thunk tanks"

What about the Quran — or the Book of Mormon — or the Talmud?

Just what we need... teaching children not to think and blindly believe fairy tales.

Why are they teaching the Old Testament if they’re pushing Christianity?

Kids will laugh at it like hokey crap. They’re not stupid.

Total bullshit

I was thinking that myself; or they should also teach the Koran and Talmud.

The bigger problem is that Texas has had to hire untrained teachers because they’re unwilling to pay living wages…a good college educated instructor could create a very interesting curriculum around mythology and social science. But they are hiring fewer qualified people in Texas a recent report.

I would have my kid sitting in the front row talking shit so fast there'd be Sonic doing somersalts

No. Do not do that. Keep your child there. Make it clear they are NOT tk participate in writing, and sue the school, the district, and the state. Insist the Bible be banned based on THEIR criteria. Incest, violence, rape, sex, prostitution, and genocide.

Tell your kids to ignore it when it comes up in class.

So glad I'm not a kid in texas. I would flunk. I yelled "bullshit" once in Sunday school when they said Moses parted the Red Sea, lol.

Right? They pushed for the 10 commandments in schools so I wonder how parents are answering the “what does adultery mean?” They’re apoplectic about being “forced” to explain why Susie has 2 dads/moms (which you can do w/o mentioning sex) go ahead and explain adultery without explaining sex.

Also, Congress is prohibited from establishing a state religion, which is effectively what you are proposing.

You're kind of an idiot. Nobody is teaching that stuff. But you're right. Humans did not descend from monkeys. They descended from chimpanzees.

You can lead a student to school, but you can't make them drink the kool aid.

Boing, splash...

It just wasn’t enough to take money from public to private schools was it??

I wonder if belief in ridiculous conspiracy theories as adults is somehow related to being forced in childhood to believe literally in some of the more unlikely tales in the Bible, on pain of eternal damnation.

How long before the kids realize that the snake told Eve the Truth and it was god who lied?

Well, it’s never actually been about Christianity has it?

As long as events in the Bible are described clearly as fiction.

the cristian taliban are now working towards cristian madrassas.

Indeed. A few do practice this.

Catholic schools already do a pretty good job of indoctrination

🤬

Teaching noah's ark to people who don't believe in climate change. That should be good for a laugh.

I think you mean Christian Nationalist State not Communists.

Are you sure about that? I saw a report that only the New Testament was to be required reading. It is irritating that 'news' sources can't be bothered to accurately report facts.

The "SaveAct" is a GOP BS lie. The "Patriot Act" ended our PRIVACY RIGHTS. "Citizens United" allows 1% to purchase Legislators. This BS "Save Act" only saves GOP CRIMINALS AND TAKES AWAY OUR VOTING RIGHTS. GOP always fool, fools with names that are lies. Mm mm

I see a lot of lawsuits coming. If I had children in Texas schools I would move out of that shit hole state.

Notice that Christian Nationalists NEVER want Christ's own teachings to be read or posted. Always the Old Testament 'Commandments;' never the New Testament Beatitudes.

That would be fanfiction.

not saying yay or nay just sayin cant be worse than what we have now. Ask Teachers who arent woke

Here’s to hoping text books get vandalized

This is extremely disturbing. Texas keeps regressing into the dark ages. Soooo wrong. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

The ignorance and idiocy of christianity, and other bullshit called religion, writ large. How to make your children stupid in ONE EASY STEP! Next: Hey kids, learn to love guns and killing people christians hate!! Do so, and YOU TOO might get a chance to lick tRump's ASS! Mmmm.

You want to change this? Get out the vote & vote a straight democratic ticket.

And if I were in school now, I would have burned the damn book in front of their hypocritical faces.

🎯

I guess the churches are not doing a good enough job teaching the bible.

Maybe they could start with the Ten Commandments and list how many of them their illustrious leader has broken.

🤬

Christianity is a failing religion and is begging the government to prop it up. If it would focus more on what Jesus (allegedly) taught like taking care of the poor and treating others with respect it would not need the government to pursue indoctrination.

Deusmediatorunitionist Philosophy is something they'll never learn

You have to teach the story. What if you teach the original version from the cultures the hebrews picked the story up from?

how is this even the United States

Indeed. Who else grew up with required reading that turned into something you hated forever?

The desire for world domination is always the end result. With religion you either have faith (blindly) or you are the enemy/evil/a sinner to be vanquished. There is no compromise or peaceful coexistence when religious fervor takes hold. 6 centuries of religious wars taught that lesson well. /2

That’s very blatantly unconstitutional. Are they just trying to see if they can get away with it? What happens if someone of a different religion or an atheist that doesn’t believe in the Bible says that’s not what we believe or that’s not what science says?

I condensed it for easier reading;

Texas slogan: The Taliban State

This is a violation of the first amendment. Once again, Republicans show they don’t actually believe in the constitution of the United States.

Yes indeed because part of a great America is ‘Religious Freedom’ free to practice whatever religion suits you & your family’! 😡along with our other freedoms of free speech, freedom of the press, etc which this 💩GOP Epstein class administration wants us not to have!

I mistakenly put my kids in a evil lutheran sc AFT 9/11. My son came home distraught when his teachertold him that Muslims believed in another God. I told my son to ask his teacher why he believed there were more than one Gods. Shortly after that, I PUT hem in a public school, where they belonged

The problem with all Christian parables is that they don't teach anything but shame. What's the story of Eden, do wrong and get kicked out? What the story of the Ark, do wrong and get murdered? Do Buddhism instead, Christ.

Noah’s Ark is the dumbest fucking shit I’ve ever read. Can you even imagine the algae bloom from a world wide flood? The second you bring a biology textbook into it, the whole thing completely dissolves.

Well fuck Christianity and its Chrstians

The stories of Noahs Ark, the burning bush & Adam & Eve are all from the old testament, which is the history of the Jews. It predates Christianity & the Christian message. Judaism does not recognise Christ as either a prophet or the Messiah. Sounds like the curriculum is the Noachides.

It's terrible news for children who are already suffering an Abstractionist Pedagogy that uses a.i. infested technology & videos to teach.

All teachers are supposed to do is teach it. Not call it fact. Teachers can teach the Bible as the most impactful book of fiction out there. Or about how people cherry pick the things they teach. Or the side of the Bible where girs are sold into slavery, or a pair that raped their dad.

OK, Well, if I was teaching, I‘d figure if they can make up the bible, then I can make up the lesson. Fun time.

Full on theocratic takeover. Violation of 1st Amendment.

So now they're teaching Cult stuff in the schools?

I bet a bunch of teachers refuse to do it. I wouldn’t do it.

Anti-immigrants have no business demanding that Christianity be taught in "public" schools, especially given that Jesus Himself was an immigrant. These holier-than-thou types have no standing.

Everything is dumber in Texas.

Christian values: — love thy neighbor… but not THAT neighbor who doesn’t look or think like you —don’t covet thy neighbor’s wife, unless you attend our church every Sunday —-entertain strangers, only not the ones from outside your borders —-don’t idolize false gods, unless it’s the president

You must be convinced that the earth is flat to believe this stories. And I suspect they believe that too.

There are Magats in the building. Separation of church and state, what our country has stood for, up till now. Don’t tread on me, you bible thumping fascists.

What part of the "Establishment Clause" of the Constitution of the United States of America do they not understand? I don't think they put in any exception for red necked ignorant Texas, especially since it didn't even exist at the time.

WHICH Bible Me Hearties? That redacted version The Protestant "King James Bible" Orrrrrr "The New American Bible" the one favored By The One True Apostolic Church of Rome?

No it isn't. Christianity is an authoritarian cult. They want to force as many in as possible.

As far as im concerned this isn't freedom of religion. Whether you are a Christian or not,this is indoctrination..

I'm so glad my kids never had to go thru that shit. I was lucky enough that my family wasn't real religious until someone went to prison, that's when I figured out it was all bullshit. Sadly, most of the people pushing religion don't believe it themselves by their actions.

In other words, Texas has become radical Islam with a different brand.

No, the measure for Donnie's is known as an upyourcubutt.

It's Texas, what did you expect? Grooming continues....

Its indoctrinating its not true freedom of religion!

Ain’t so happy for the constitution either.

Forced religion has always worked, and never had adverse effects to a government.

It is indeed terrible news for Christianity itself.

evangelical fundamentalists using public schools for recruitment, they already got youth pastors in them disguised as guidance counselors, middle school kids required to read Genesis is not english class but religion class, reading must be discussed as religious text & not critiqued or criticized

Feed the hungry? Welcome the stranger? Love one another? What, are you crazy? No way! Jesus is too woke for these guys.

Wow. They want to promte pornography, incest and violence in schools?

OK TexA$$, explain where Adam and Eve's GRANDCHILDREN came from?? Hmm?

And there will be no mention of little things like "Jesus said to help the sick and feed the hungry"...

My dad went to a Christian school and knew the bible very well. But as an adult he used to invite the local clergyman in to try to convert him to atheism. So I guess enforced religious reading doesn't always go according to plan.

This is insane.

Song of Soloman?

They are nothing but fairy tales. 🙄

Just another reason not to move there.

I thought I read somewhere that this sort of government dictated religion was against some official document, its name is on the tip of my tongue, I think it starts with a C.

That is exactly what I am attempting to do

They are not going to stop at state lines. It is eat or be eaten and they are voracious.

More and more have decided that moving to another state isn't sufficient. There are country options if you have enough money. Peter Thiel just demonstrated that.
