Time to read the multiple pro immigrant and pro refugee quotes in the Bible.
Also we can read the parts where other gifs are mentioned
Starting with elementary school children is quite literally the fear-mongering indoctrination that the far right always bitches about Democrats doing.
It’s always projection.
I hope the smart kids will pick out the passages that will contradict texas mores.
There’s an old saying: “If I owned Hell and Texas, I’d rent out Texas and live in Hell.”
It’d be cooler anyway.
Still think yall are the land of the free?
I’m sure that having it assigned in school will make religion cool again for the next generation ;P
No state would ever convict a child. Except maybe Texas.
- Clancy Wiggum, circa 1996
There’s Freedom …and then there’s Texas.
Surely not long now, until they add the Book of Trump to the Bible.
They taught my child about angels, Moses, and Noah in history class. But there was one question on the review about Mohammed, so you couldn’t say they were only teaching Christianity. So aways, I moved the fuck out of that state and my kids are receiving a wonderful education in Connecticut where they teach things like critical thinking and dealing with emotions and that everyone is welcome regardless of race, sex, religion, sexual orientation.
And to think that some of my family firmly and fully believes that Christians are the most persecuted people in the entire country.
“Don’t tread on me,” said the most privileged class of people ever.
I mean, someone said happy holidays to them instead of merry Christmas one time! How could it possibly get any worse?!
Of course they are super persecuted. Just look at how so many people have a problem with them putting bible studies in public school! No one else suffers like that! /s
Now that they have the Bible in there, we’ll have to mandate the Quran next and really pump up the discourse.
Of course it’s Texas. It’s a shithole state.
Ahhh yes, Genesis 19:33-36, Genesis 38:2, Ezekiel 23:20… lots of classics for the kids to enjoy!
It’s Heads-I-Win / Tails-You-Lose with these laws. If you teach too much of the Bible you’ll be in just as much trouble as if you teach not enough.
These rules largely exist to dismantle public education. It’s far less about The Bible and more about finding excuses to cut funding for useful education and fire teachers who won’t robotically repeat whatever the state wants.
I suspect none of those will be Matthew 25:31-46
Of course, yes, Matthew 25:31-46!
Gotta love when people cite chapter and verse of the bibke and expect everyone else to know what the fuck they’re referring to.
31 When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
that’s nothing compared to Matthew 21:17 tho
Thanks.
Your username, is it a reference to Eck and Eckankar? Found a cooy of the Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad at a garage sale years ago and had a good laungh with it.
No, although I am aware because I ironically read and enjoy a bunch of dumb stuff like Charles Fort, Golden Dawn etc
I used to post on usenet and BB boards in the 90s under a username referencing the video game Eternal Champions and abbreviated it to “EC” which became “Eck” in IRC rooms.
The funkless part is what a drummer once called me when I played bass in a band.
New age stuff were a lot of fun reads. I liked buying up weird books at small shops and garage sales.
I am sorry for your lack of funk. I would suggest getting some from the reflecting pool, but am certain that it is a bad choice of funk.
To be fair, that one COULD be interpreted as pretty bigoted towards goats… 😁
Come to think of it, though, that’s far from the only time. I guess the drunk and high monks who wrote the bible just really didn’t like goats 🤷🏻
Maybe it’s because the eyes aren’t “human”.
Could be…if not for the fact that sheep eyes are like that too.
And those weirdos loved sheep SO much 😄
It would seem that Texas wants to tell the world what complete backward small minded fucks they are.
