Texas Public School Students Will Be Required to Read the Bible
Texas passed what might be the first state-mandated book list for public school students. It focuses on classic literature and includes Bible excerpts.
Of course they will say it is the Bible as literature. Bullshit. The Christofascists want indoctrination.
Surely this will be challenged in the courts.
Do they also get to read excerpts from the Koran, etc.?

The "God" clause in the Pledge has been challenged on establishment grounds repeatedly. SCOTUS has always found some excuse to not hear it. In one case I recall, the court held the father did not have standing, because he did not have custody of his child, on whose behalf he was suing.
iirc, Justice Thomas had claimed the establishment clause has never been incorporated, leaving states free to establish official religion.

In the past, the Satanists file for equal time/access, etc., and they TACO, but now they're probably be declared ANTIFA.

If it is NOT in Hebrew/Aramaic, it is NOT The Bible. Ask Moses. He knows.

Bet they won't be reading Song of Solomon or the Sermon on the Mount.
