Time to read the multiple pro immigrant and pro refugee quotes in the Bible.
Also we can read the parts where other gifs are mentioned
There’s an old saying: “If I owned Hell and Texas, I’d rent out Texas and live in Hell.”
It’d be cooler anyway.
Still think yall are the land of the free?
No state would ever convict a child. Except maybe Texas.
- Clancy Wiggum, circa 1996
They taught my child about angels, Moses, and Noah in history class. But there was one question on the review about Mohammed, so you couldn’t say they were only teaching Christianity. So aways, I moved the fuck out of that state and my kids are receiving a wonderful education in Connecticut where they teach things like critical thinking and dealing with emotions and that everyone is welcome regardless of race, sex, religion, sexual orientation.
Ahhh yes, Genesis 19:33-36, Genesis 38:2, Ezekiel 23:20… lots of classics for the kids to enjoy!
It’s Heads-I-Win / Tails-You-Lose with these laws. If you teach too much of the Bible you’ll be in just as much trouble as if you teach not enough.
These rules largely exist to dismantle public education. It’s far less about The Bible and more about finding excuses to cut funding for useful education and fire teachers who won’t robotically repeat whatever the state wants.
Passages, mind you, not the book itself.
If they read the whole thing kids might figure out that “Christian Nationalists” are everything Jesus was against.
You could also just go with some of the teachings of Jesus. Like love thy neighbour, that was a pretty big one. Pretty sure he said not to be a judgemental belled too, probably paraphrasing a bit with that one.
Those aren’t the values conservatives are talking about
Well then they are not very good Christians
Generally wouldn’t consider mass delusion good either way.
When I was a kid I was forced into church and Christian school. I was required to read the Bible every day of the week.
This was how I realized it was all bullshit. I believed fully in God until about age 12 or so, when I completed my first pass of the Bible.
It really is the fastest way to make average intelligence or higher Christians shed their faith.
Thats why they will only memorise a few passages and not actually study it academically.
Yeah, I really think promoting Christianity by leadership living Christian values by example would work. Unfortunately for them their conservative brainrot is really far from Christianity…
To be fair, having a cross as your religious symbol tends to attract a death cult
I live over in Arkansas where they’ve mandated 12 commandments (and I get to see them every day, working in a school) and let me tell you, they don’t have the intended effect, unless the intended effect is driving people further away from Christianity in droves by making a show of forcing it down everyone’s throat. So, sure, whatever Texas, breed us some angry atheists in a generation.
edit: We did away with all the woke commandments and added Stand your Ground, Prosperity Gospel, Hungry Kids Are Just Lazy, and Charter Schools as White as Snow
Wait, what are the two that they added?
Worship Thy Leader, and Strength Through Superior Firepower.
Freedom is slavery.
Was is peace.
Ignorance is strength.
God is power.
God’s lost commandments
(go watch moral orel)
The Table of Commandments has expanded over the years, as new commandments have been found, and also made up.
Maybe the poophole loophole
I’m fuckin’ dyin’ here lol.
I read the bible a bit in my youth. Wasn’t Christian before, wasn’t Christian after. If anything it left me wonder about the sanity of the authors…
U see ur not the target audience it’d about indoctrination of children before they know what they are doing. Same as the pledge of allegiance.
I hope the smart kids will pick out the passages that will contradict texas mores.
Religious people should be put in camps and be deprogrammed from their insane cult.
Secular rehabilitation camp (SRC for short)
Starting with elementary school children is quite literally the fear-mongering indoctrination that the far right always removed about Democrats doing.
It’s always projection.
Reading about the USA really is incredibly depressing. I just look at news articles like this, and wonder how things ever got so bad.
Our democracy got hacked. You just can’t have billionaires and democracy long term
It’s not hacked. Our government is working exactly as intended: for the benefit of the owning class and reinforcement of their hierarchical control over society.
Both things can be true. But it was definitely hacked
And by that I mean the democracy part has been manipulated over a long period so a minority has more power than the majority. That’s why religious extremists are able to achieve things like this - they’re a small group of the population, but the fascist technocrats behind it all like to use their heraldry
But without voter suppression, breaking norms, and stacking the courts, this never would have flown
These problems have been brewing since before we were a country. Turns out you can’t make a system that panders to racist slavers without substantial consequences.
The cracks were always there, but it’s like global warming. Decades and decades of people ringing the alarm bell and warning signs before things come to the natural conclusion
We’re getting real close to the find out part of both issues
You wonder?
I’m sure that having it assigned in school will make religion cool again for the next generation ;P
Surely not long now, until they add the Book of Trump to the Bible.
There’s Freedom …and then there’s Texas.
