This is less "Today I Learned", and more "News".

Religion is the ultimate form of control because it perpetuates itself. Once a person is indoctrinated they are compelled to go out and infect others. It is then twisted to mean whatever the ruling class wants it to mean.

Maybe it's a good thing. Reading the Bible was what made me an atheist.

Day 1 create light. Day 4 create light source.

Let them do it, it's a good way to drive them from religion. Because the Bible is boring af

I thought gay propaganda was shoved to students in schools? How the turntables.

Translation: Our base isn't dumb enough. We can make them dumber!

if god was real, you wouldn't have to indoctrinate children into believing it

I’m in a fortunate position to be able to send my kid to private montessori school in Texas. The public schools here are totally fucked. The state has been cranking down funding for years, and the tax recapture system the state set up takes funding from urban districts and sends it to rural districts. Then, when the urban districts languish with significant underfunding, if even one school in a district receives a failing grade on standardized assessments 3 years in a row, the state can come in and take over the school district. They’ve already done it to Houston ISD, and they’re about to do it to Austin ISD. Education in Texas is absolutely fucked

They did this during the GWB admin, they quietly walked it back after kids started applying the lessons from the bible to their right wing leaders, and asking why they didn't adhere to them.

One should point them to the interesting passages then.

Seems like an opportunity to teach about words that changed meaning since the KJV by comparing to the NSVUE or something and to teach textual criticism and the like.

(Of course, I hope this whole thing gets struck down as unconstitutional).

Thank God for bringing back God in the classrooms. Can we also unrelated to this teach them betrayal

There's that story about collecting all the enemies foreskins. That should be near the top of the To Read list

Not really in the spirit of this community. I've already seen the article elsewhere on Lemmy, as I expect you have.

Isn't this how we got atheist Europe?

Great! Maybe they'll finally notice how fucking stupid it is?... Right? Right?
