    reading the bible is a surefire way to make more atheists

    That was true when kids were taught critical thinking and media literacy skills. A lot of kids today are barely literate thanks to “no child left behind” and state test focusing. And, that was before the flood of tech and chatGPT in the classroom.

    Realistically, what’s going to happen is these kids are going to “read” a passage, not be able to interpret its meaning. Then be told what it means from their heavily biased “instructor” with an agenda. It will amount to state sponsored religious propaganda.

    This is why christian nationalist want to defund schools and critical thinking skills. They don’t want you to “think” and question. They want you to be told.

      Absolutely insane that this move and any move they make is for just like .00001 percent more of all the money. We have to start treating this like the mental health emergency it is.
