The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus w/ their lips, then walk out the door & deny him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable - Brennan Manning... So much for being the land of the free & home of the brave
There are some really fun chapters in that book that should be a hit with the little kiddies. The fate of Job's daughters. Judith and Holofernes. Lot and his daughters.
Speaking from experience those are the ‘off limits’ portions and will be quickly shut down. Source: I was suspended for talking about similar chapters in school bible study (in a private school setting).
Yes, of course, they will cherry-pick. But the understanding is the whole book, right? Sooner or later the students will read the rest of it. Can't punish them for reading the book you're holding up as primary.
Its amazing they contradict the very moral they wish to teach by merely imposing this law on people. No one is better at proving there is no god than the faithful by their actions
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" so the class on Krishna will be expected and welcomed by Texans.
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Ok. So, what point will we also be offering lessons from the koran in Texas public schools, or is imposing the teachings of a religion you don't follow on you something you would not want "done unto you"??
This is so wrong. The Bible does not belong in public school classrooms. So many different religions and faiths in public school. Even without Christianity there are different beliefs and different versions of the Bible.
Methuselah got to be 969 years old, his grandson Noah 950. If Methuselah would have become a father again at Noah's age, would Matt Gaetz date her when her father died?
Are they going to teach the incest? Coercing a women into bed? Murdering a man to get his widow into bed? Impregnating a slave then taking her and his child out into the desert and abandoning them? The “kill all of them , even their animals and occupy their land”? 😤🤮🤬🤬🤬🤬
I had to go to a Catholic school that had a church in the hall. Every Thursday we had mass with a priest, kneeling on the hard wooden floor and teachers and prefects watching us.
Most of us hated it and played pranks on the guys kneeling in front of us or flirted with the girls with our eyes 👀…
…Adults and extreme Christians believe they can make the children into copies of themselves.This never happens because as most young people they want to live their own lives and decide for themselves and not what others want.
I wouldn’t worry too much about Bibles the kids will find it boring!
Or abysmal ignorance has made us stupified by the fact that religion has ever been about societal cohesiveness but the advancement of religious politics. The word God is an acronym for Govt. of (the) day.
Are they going to teach the kids to be cautious around priests and pastors also just in case you know, they teach the Bible also. Ridiculous! Are parents able to refuse those teachings is what I'm wandering or is this forced on them?
Pushing one religion on a classroom of kids...is that how America plans to be??? What about the Jewish kid, Muslim, Buddhist, non believer etc...households. We should have the right to choose and express.
Why should we push religion in schools!? Indoctrination! The kids are there to learn and get an education not a religious education. Send them to a private religious school!
We can't stand by and allow local and/or state governments bring religion into our tax funded schools.
The extreme right is trying to divide the people, erode public education, dismantle the Department of Education and it starts in our local schools. These extremists don't give a shit about God.
I sure hope this ends up at the Supreme Court. This is a clear violation of the 1st amendment. I say this knowing this court is a disaster. I just want to know where I stand as a public school teacher myself. I hate the direction this country is going.
Oh the paradox of having a president that lies continuously and then the littles will be learning about the 10 Commandments 🤦🏻♀️.
ACLU will be on this but we have religious extremists on SCOTUS so that should be interesting.
What about the Constitution suffering in church and state? What about all the other religions that don’t use the Bible? will other children be indoctrinated with other peoples religion?

companies should be leaving TX
Everything IS bigger in Texas, including the stupidity.

Gotta luv the people who "revere" the constitution but want nothing to do with that seperation of church and state thingy. 🤨
