Summary
The Texas State Board of Education approved a preliminary vote for a new optional curriculum integrating Bible-based lessons into elementary school reading and language arts, sparking controversy.
Serving 2.3 million K-5 students, the curriculum introduces Christian themes like the Sermon on the Mount and da Vinci’s Last Supper, but critics say it lacks balance and could violate the First Amendment.
Supporters argue it reflects America’s Christian cultural roots, while opponents, including parents and educators, warn it may blur lines between education and evangelism.
A final vote is expected soon, with potential nationwide implications.
What a shithole state.
That’s so fucked up. I can totally believe it’s happening in Texas.
Then I say the Qur’an needs to be taught there also. After all equal is equal.
I looked through a few of the materials. Just like Florida’s slavery materials from a year ago, it uses dark patterns and weasel words to make it seem like it’s no big deal. There’s shit like, “The Christian Bible claims a man named Jesus was born in a manager because there was no room in the inn and when he grew up his followers viewed him as the messiah, and eventually the entire Roman Empire became Christian.”
There’s also a pointlessly long description (unless you know what the real point is) of how the Apostle Paul used the Roman road network, first to persecute Christians than after something (wink wink) happened, to spread Christianity.
It’s gross.
Hold the horizontal wall across the US now.
Christian Taliban carving out a stronghold in Texas.
The state is so fucking corrupt and simultaneously incompetent. These neophyte Christian soldiers are going to grow up thinking all of America is like Texas because they’ll never go anywhere else.
As with Florida, the kids will suffer most as their futures are conscripted to a gross cabal of two-faced men and the women who enable them.
I want all my female students to RAPE their Fathers and if you think that’s BAD then you HATE the Bible!
don’t forget, they need to get him blackout drunk first; like a good believer.
The Bible wasn’t encouraging it, just saying that it happened.
Lot and His Daughters
30 Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. 31 One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to give us children—as is the custom all over the earth. 32 Let’s get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line through our father.”
33 That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and slept with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.
34 The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I slept with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” 35 So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.
36 So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. 37 The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab[a]; he is the father of the Moabites of today. 38 The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi[b]; he is the father of the Ammonites[c] of today.
EDIT: I’d also add that it looks like the Ammonites and the Moabites were enemies of the Israelites. Probably research material out there on this, but I imagine that this is sort of politically badmouthing the enemy.
I always figured this story was about how Lot was molesting his daughters and blamed them for it.

Based on tradition, this Cherokee prayer should be posted in schools. It’s only right to follow thousands of years of tradition.
Look forward to what the satanist will do to challenge this. Equal is equal in logic (but that concept may be far removed from certain minds)
It won’t matter in Texas
/me eagerly raises hand
“Ooooh oooh! Mrs. So-and-so! Tell us more child appropriate passages like Ezekiel 23:20! It says, ‘There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.’”
I don’t support vandalizing books or moving books around in bookstores, but I’ve absolutely put free bookmarks on that page in the Vegitales bibles at Books-a-Million.
My goodness. You’re going to break the children! It’s not their fault that the adults are all idiots! Haha!
