So I haven't seen anyone on here discussing the Texas bill to mandate Bible reading in the school curriculum. Besides the obvious problem, this new curriculum will minimize the teachings of slavery, geography, and other classes involving racial and cultural diversity.
This won't be rolled out until 2030, so we've yet to see how its going to play out, but they will have Bible stories and passages read alongside classic literature.
Students as young as six will be reading stories such as Noah's Ark, David and Goliath, and Daniel and the Lion's Den. Older students will encounter new testament passages (such as Luke 14:7-11) and the second chapter of the book of Genesis will be required reading for high school English class.
Texas is the first state to implement anything like this, and in my opinion it's a breach of the constitution. It's one thing to teach about Christianity in a philosophy or religion class, with an unbiased teacher who doesn't present it as fact, but in this context it's being treated as part of history. Of course, I may be slightly biased as an anti-theist, but we know of many contradictions and inaccuracies in the Bible, and I think teaching it as fact is an uneducated decision that is only spreading Christian Nationalism.
