I don't care how much Bible you teach in school, this country is going to hell pretty damn fast.

nunciobitis.bsky.social•12 days ago

Americans learn the bible the same amount they learn science.
In one ear and out the asshole.

Break out the prayer rugs and face East to Mecca.

See how long that lasts.

If you're going to support one, you have to support all

cinders65.bsky.social•12 days ago

omg, how scary. but it's not okay to have kids learn mindfulness techniques and meditation???

2024fighter.bsky.social•12 days ago

Nope. Cause those are “anti-Christian” and “satanic.”

joejinis.bsky.social•12 days ago

Wtf.
Can I have a daily period to burn bibles?

What about reading the Quran or some other religious scriptures? These people wouldn't like it if their children were being indoctrinated in someone else's religion. Such hypocrisy 🙄

💯🎯prayer in school = IRS in church🇺🇸

Give the kids the Satanic Bible and we'll see how that goes! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Satanic_Bible

kab-fair.bsky.social•12 days ago

they already have youth ministers roaming hallways, entry signs saying ‘in god we trust’, 10 commandments in classrooms, a curriculum prominently featuring religion in science, history, english, math being offered to cash starved schl districts, becoming evangelical schls was always on the agenda

skinnypool.bsky.social•12 days ago

I have no problem with the 10 commandments being posted as long as there is an ✳️ beside each one, and at the bottom
✳️ NOTE: The current POTUS has violated ALL of these.

kab-fair.bsky.social•12 days ago

there will be no modifications but more than half the schl districts allow corporeal punishment & the presentation of the commandments is to promote christianity & in their teaching of history they pretty much ignore the thou shalt not lie commandment when it comes to teaching anything abt slavery

skinnypool.bsky.social•12 days ago

I understand.. I was just joking.. I think their hypocrisy is disgusting!

nicholasballou.bsky.social•12 days ago

Conservatives: don’t you dare put the gay penguin book in my child’s classroom! It’s not age appropriate to expose them to sexuality!

Conservatives: I want schools to force children to read the book about murder and rape and slavery and revenge and torture and gore and stoning and…

Another example of why red states are so fucked up.

Religion does not belong in school. PERIOD

iamwoman65.bsky.social•12 days ago

So all prayers?

nunciobitis.bsky.social•12 days ago

Thoughts and prayers?
Why not farts and burps?
Just as useful.

gcoxtx.bsky.social•12 days ago

Most of what the Texas Lege does is a violation of someone's rights. The Republicans have been in power so long they have run out of things they can do to appease their base that don't violate the Constitution. Now it's just unnecessary, stupid, and unconstitutional things they think up.

Failed parenting on steroids'.
Another example of why education matters.

therock54.bsky.social•12 days ago

Parents should file a lawsuit for teaching fantasy rather than facts. Public schools shall teach truth, private christian schools are allowed to brainwash indoctrinate innocent children.

ayeshabarb.bsky.social•12 days ago

Bet they won't let the Muslim kids have prayer rugs and do Salat around noon. And they won't allow them to study the Qu'ran.

brownejax2024.bsky.social•12 days ago

an hour for prayer?? Are they sinners? Why a whole hour?

albert2021.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yes!!!!

jonathanmlewis.bsky.social•12 days ago

Who are they to take upon themselves the teaching of religion to other people's children? Who in fuck gave these losers this power?

jbjhawk.bsky.social•12 days ago

U actually need a bill... how stupid
Jesus is like what the heck..
Christian members are leaving in droves

warrocketajaxjr.bsky.social•12 days ago

Is it optional?

drewroulette.bsky.social•12 days ago

🤣🤣🤣 Texas sucks so bad.

byskyowensrosa.bsky.social•12 days ago

BS we all dnt have same religion or none.

Like wtf 😒

tudork.bsky.social•12 days ago

Many schools have a moment of silence and a silent reading period. Children (with their parents) decide how that’s spent. Government does not need to reach into this

jgrunder.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yes... it's called before school and after school... and on the weekends... 🤨

deirdre63.bsky.social•13 days ago

Is it only Christian prayer? Since Bible reading is mentioned, I am assuming it is. If it's not, I would like to see a bunch of parents get some equal time.

pro-tipz.bsky.social•12 days ago

First, we should try voting them out. That's the best option. Option #2 should be guillotines

Can I read the Koran

Better yet, can I make my own bible & read it aloud (I am an ordained minister, thanks universal life)

pureblueat62.bsky.social•12 days ago

So, that means kids could choose to read the Koran, or witchcraft etc…. That would only be fair.

symonespurpose.bsky.social•12 days ago

Indoctrination 101. Smh

kris10l.bsky.social•12 days ago

Then all religions should take out whatever book they use in their faiths at that time. Kids who do not want to do that get free time.

a76virgo.bsky.social•12 days ago

Wiccan anyone?

moongoddess83.bsky.social•12 days ago

Blessed Be 🙌 I'm all for scrying and potions making class while they pray and read their Bible (which has a lot of adult content).

countessofcandy.bsky.social•12 days ago

rkew.bsky.social•12 days ago

Pro25 was written by those that feel they have been religiously persecuted since the constitution was written. They found someone so vain to front them, got rid of over-sight agencies, while they are going about dismantling the entire constitution and government and it's archived history!

Fill them with religion but take the food away. Make it make sense. 🥺

russtheimpailer.bsky.social•12 days ago

Only if it is "attendance optional" and all religions have the same ability to have prayer and religious text readings.

emperor-dan.bsky.social•12 days ago

This would be a good time to start delivering boxes of Satanic Bibles to every school in Texas. 🤠

silwer24.bsky.social•12 days ago

That's fine, as long as everybody gets to practice their respective religions during that time ... Which I guess they won't allow...

0y3ah.bsky.social•12 days ago

Utah got arpund this by building srmenaries alongside every junior high, and high school, so students leave campus for religious instruction, for the Mormon faith. Texas needs to pony up.

greathands4you.bsky.social•12 days ago

Separation of Church and State!

kellykellygirl.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yeah, because the religious Politicians really follow the Bible. NOT! Separation of Church and State violations should be coming.

fatboyjma.bsky.social•12 days ago

Are all 3,000 religions allowed?

ecppdx.bsky.social•12 days ago

Wait, so they *only* allow the Bible? Which one, even? Ridiculous.

skinnypool.bsky.social•12 days ago

The trump Bible of course. 😡

kelseyraerae.bsky.social•12 days ago

So does this mean the school day is longer or is this going to cut time from actual class time? Are they funding a bible certified teacher to do the reading?

doctorsynth.bsky.social•12 days ago

Weird, the greatest threat to k-12 is guns, not the lack of Bible reading.

russtheimpailer.bsky.social•12 days ago

It certainly hasn't had much effect on those that go to worship services.
It's not surprising that Religion is one of the top causes of war.

eattharich.bsky.social•13 days ago

I’m sure it’ll come as a shock to many Christians when their own beliefs come under fire because they don’t accept the same kind of Christianity as those in power. There are 40,000+ denominations of Christianity. What’s the likelihood that theirs will be the “correct” one.

bf1930.bsky.social•12 days ago

It's also just dumb - no one stops anyone from being able to pray anytime they want.

The performative, symbolic prayer is part of maintaining control in cults and organized religion.

neal58021.bsky.social•12 days ago

the old joke that as long as there are tests in school, there will be prayer

gort88.bsky.social•12 days ago

The Church of Unholy Rollers demands equal time.

[==*==]

tomcatjock.bsky.social•12 days ago

Is there equal time for reading of the Koran, Bhagavad Gita, and other religious texts?

JK. These people are trying to enact a Christian extremist form of Sharia law. They're the American Taliban.
