This move reeks of desperation of a dying sphere of influence. The old geezers who pushed it will have short term gratification, many on the way to their graves.
But imposing their views will come at a cost. Kids are more aware than they think. The backlash to being force-fed christianity will poison its tentacles even as they grow.
“We’re going to stop watering down American history. We’re going to teach the truth. Our nation was founded as a Christian nation, and Texas is a Christian state,” said Hall, a Republican who is a pastor in Springtown. He said the Bible has had a “remarkable impact on our culture, our societies and our laws.”
No, you fucking brainstem, this nation was not founded as a xtian nation.
And no, “the” bible did not have much impact on our laws. Find one mention of it in the Constitution.
And then look at the First Amendment vs. the so-called “first commandment”. They are in direct conflict with one another. In this free country, I’m well within my rights to worship any god I want, or no god at all.
Your rules are for YOU and those in your book club. They don’t apply to everyone. No one, least of all minorities in a captive audience, should be obligated to have to listen to your blatantly stupid and wrong bullshit.
Bible is perhaps the most important cultural work. As long as they don’t say it’s truth, I see nothing wrong with it.
The bible doesn’t contain a fiction disclaimer.
I’ve never seen that in any book
“This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are either the products of the author’s imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.”
you’ve never seen that? you must not read very much.
I read a lot, but mostly ebooks and science related stuff.
I’ve never seen anything like that.
They are put in the front pages of any work of fiction in the modern era.
