@pbsnews: Texas school board approves new course material that includes Bible passages Texas school board officials have approved new course materials that schools are incentivized to incorporate into their classrooms. Called “Bluebonnet Learning,” parts of these materials include religious lessons that critics say undermine religious freedom, and could isolate non-Christian students. William Brangham explores the issue with Texas Tribune education reporter Jaden Edison. #pbsnewshour #pbsnews #newshour #texas #texasschools #schoolboard #churchandstate #coursework #education #schoolsystem #bible #religiousfreedom #firstamendment
Implementing *school choice* allows moving your student elsewhere to schools that use curriculum you prefer. “Decade[s] of precedent” means nothing of the rule is bad (slavery, suffrage, prohibition)

It’s Christian nationalism, pure and simple. There is no other explanation.

Religion does not belong in schools. It should be a parent choice to teach their child religion not the state.

Southern states uniformly have low performing schools and far fewer college educated inhabitants. They are failing children. Where is the emphasis on the most needed subjects?

Funny how conservatives have been complaining that teachers are indoctrinating their kids, just to force them to religiously indoctrinate all students.

The Sermon on the Mount would only condemn Trump and Republicans.

It’s part of Project 2025. Religion is way to control ppl. Putin is known in some American churches as the Christian Lion.

These are the same people who say liberals are indoctrinating kids. And it’s not even good history.

The Bible absolutely did not play a role in the country’s founding. While religion was a motivator for early immigrants coming here. It was not part of the founding of the United States. 😏

100% religion should not be taught unless it is done so along side all other religions. This is nothing more then Christian Nationalist attempting to force their religion on all people. It’s sick.

It’s unconstitutional. Christian Nationalists are trying to spread their beliefs and make people to live the way they think we should live. They are trying to take our freedoms away.

all they need to do is just teach all the other religions too, so they’re not just giving special privileges to Christianity

This is indoctrination. Schools need to teach more life skills. Leave religion to the parents & church.

The saddest part about it - is that the so called Christians pushing for this are the same people who want all immigrants gone

I’m Christian and I will say THIS IS WRONG. Jesus didn’t ask people to be forced to follow him- he asks them to love God and love their neighbor. He would be appalled at the current state of affairs.

If my taxes are paying for public schools, then I want to opt out of paying taxes if church and state are not separated. Churches make billions & dont pay taxes. Keep ALL religion OUT of education!!🤬
