Texas Public Schools Required to Teach Bible This Year
The school year is almost here, and if literature of the Bible is not already offered in your child's school, it will be this fall.
Books are a common sight in classrooms around the nation, but the Bible is one book that is not. Come this fall, a Texas law says all public schools must offer information relating to the Bible in their curriculum.
Oh you poor dumb southerners!
That's good...
You want kids to learn just how whacked that book is, make them study it in a school setting. They'll come out hating it as much as their Algebra books...
That is, indeed, good.
I attended a school in which the Bible was part of the curriculum.
Instead of hating it, I was intrigued and enthralled by its wisdom.

Maybe they can use Watchtower publications as "Bible study aids"?
Does this mean that Texas Public Schools are now a part of Babylon the Great, the Whore of Revelation?
Things like that worry me a little when I think about raising my kid in Texas.
Trampling on the Constitution continues....
Sylvia, ?? You must have read it selectively in school then.
In Portugal religion is an elective ( or was in my time the 80's) class in HS, there you are taught not only Christianity, but all religions of the worls and their histories, nothing wrong with that.
I remember my 8th and 9th grade teacher, he was a Jesuit and had some of the most balanced and enlightened views on world religions.
Sylvia, ??

No, from G to R.
I'm none the worse for it.
Of course, I'm a bit biased.
