Texas Public School Students Will Be Required to Read the Bible

Texas Public School Students Will Be Required to Read the Bible​

Texas passed what may be the first state-mandated book list for public school students. It focuses on classic literature and includes Bible excerpts.

For example, 10th graders would read “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar” by William Shakespeare, and “The Inferno” by Dante Alighieri. Among other texts, they would also read the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I’ve Been to the Mountain Top” speech; Edgar Allan Poe’s famous poem “The Raven”; Margaret Thatcher’s eulogy for Mr. Reagan; and an excerpt from the Book of Job.

Students would be required to read a Bible excerpt at most grade levels, starting in elementary school.

Excerpts included “The Necessity of Humility” by the Gospel of Luke and “To Everything There is a Season” from the Book of Ecclesiastes. In middle and high school, Bible selections were included in thematic units along with a book. For example, the “Definition of Love,” from First Corinthians, would be taught alongside “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen in 12th grade.


why do you hate god, jesus and america?
 
The EU has what they call "comparative religion" class.
I took several classes like that in junior college; man & death, man & religion, comparative religion and religions of the world. In one class, I forget which, two hot blonde Mormon chicks walked out and never returned. I was raised RLDS and didn't recall anything about Mormonism prior to the walkout.
 
In the wrong direction

Interesting how those that scream the loudest about “freedom” and Gov’t interference also want the Gov’t to administer and enforce their religious beliefs
It's common with MAGAs. Most are poorly educated, demented and/or downright stupid.
