Time for malicious compliance: "Kids, today we’re talking about two girls got their dad drunk and raped him to get pregnant.
They’ll have to be more creative, because the demand is for teachers to tell kids about the Bible’s place in U.S. history.
So I think teaching them about this might be more appropriate: https://www.npr.org/2018/12/09/674995075/slave-bible-from-the-1800s-omitted-key-passages-that-could-incite-rebellion
They might also teach about this man: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Coughlin
Or how about how the bible was used as an excuse to try to keep Americans dumb and ignorant. An excellent example of exactly where the Bible fits into American history.

Wow, that was an interesting read there! It seems like he may have been an influence on the character “Brother Justin” in the Carnivàle show on HBO.

You should hit the erotic poetry section of the Bible, just to be sure you get all the good parts in.
Some neighboring states that aren’t christo-fascist are about to get some really good teachers. Welcome to Colorado!
Except teachers here are paid shit and there’s little affordable housing.
So I have friends in Texas who have lost their license for one reason or another. This has a wider range of effect than most realize. When applying for ANY other state licensing, in any other industry, the fact that your teaching license was revoked, no matter what the reason was (it won’t say why on reports) it’s a mark against you when applying for others. All they see is oh this person HAD a state license and it got revoked so, maybe we shouldn’t grant this other one.
It’s plainly illegal, and I’m sure the goal is for SCOTUS to take it up and make it legal.
It’s plainly illegal
SCOTUS will just ignore any precedents and give the states the right to do what they want.
We’ve already seen this playbook in action.
We’ve been fools for relying on precedent.
That is certainly their hope. And there is no question it will happen if Trump gets back in.
Reading the Memorandum, it doesn’t specify what Bible is to be used. Perhaps malicious compliance uses a “alternative” version?
Also found this from the Satanic Temple (who hopefully is on top of this) -
If a public school permits the distribution of religious materials to the student body, they have opened a limited public forum and are obligated to allow religious materials from other faiths. This principle applies to other forms of school-sponsored religious expression as well.
Also funny how these hypocrites go on and on about indoctrination, and then want to indoctrinate every kid in the state by law.
The goal is, here, to have an accurate view of American history
By teaching bronze age fairy tales set in the Middle East.
