Texas board advances plan to allow Bible material in elementary school lessons
AP News, By NADIA LATHAN, on November 19, 2024
https://apnews.com/article/texas-public-school-religion-bible-curriculum-education-0585dc0a1ecb04b6cf426cce08af7543?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3REIwbmlXgDNlXTd2WxcHy75rw35yw30X-oCLJQNUKHhAEwG9CYrng9Lc_aem_liKM2LWPsYK_WvcyYSuFRQ
This segment delves into the controversial approval of a textbook in Texas that heavily integrates Christian teachings into public school curricula, particularly targeting kindergarten through fifth grade. Although labeled as "optional," the curriculum incentivizes schools with additional funding, creating a financial pressure for adoption. The panelists criticize the curriculum for promoting indoctrination, violating the separation of church and state, and presenting myths as facts. AJ highlights its explicit biblical focus, noting repeated references to the "Christian Bible" and the Good Samaritan story, while pointing out how historical art, such as da Vinci's "Last Supper," is reframed as religious education. Scott discusses the First Amendment implications, arguing that this curriculum prioritizes Christianity over other beliefs and undermines secular education. Stephen and others emphasize how this approach erodes trust in educators, dilutes evidence-based learning, and perpetuates harmful power dynamics, setting a dangerous precedent for religious influence in public institutions. They express concern over the alienation of non-Christian students and the broader societal implications, likening this strategy to historical examples of propaganda and scapegoating. The conversation ends with a fiery critique of the larger motivations behind blending religion with education, linking it to control over marginalized communities and reinforcing existing power structures.
The Non-Prophets, Episode 23.48.2 featuring Infidel 64, Stephen Harder, AJ and Scott Dickie
