Texas approves new Bible-based curriculum for elementary schools

Teachers can opt in, but state is offering financial incentive of $60
a student for participating school districts

The Texas board of education voted 8-7 on Friday to approve a new
Bible-based curriculum in elementary schools.

The curriculum, called "Bluebonnet Learning", could be implemented as
soon as August 2025 and affects English and language arts teaching
material for kindergarten through fifth grade public school classes.

Teachers will have a choice to opt into the new faith-based learning curriculum, but the state is offering a financial incentive of $60 a
student for participating school districts.

Parents, teachers and rights groups expressed outrage at the move that
some say violates the US constitution and will alienate students and
teachers of other faiths.

Opt-in does not violate the constitution. Opt-out would most likely, in my opinion do it, or, if this is the only option.

I also heard Trump will add pussy grabbing to the curriculum! ;)

I believe a lawsuit will be forthcoming...so if this matter comes
before SCOTUS, they can decide. Another trial ballon for the courts
to decide.

Opt-in is not by the students' choice, but the school district level.

I believe this will fail....wasted tax dollars, with tax payers
picking up the tab.

Oh, if the students cannot choose, or the parents, then it is more
difficult.

Not necessarily! What if it becomes a success and turns of a lot of little soldiers of Jesus? Then it would be a success!

AI Overview - Based on the teachings of Jesus in the Bible, most interpretations conclude that he would not fight in a war, as his
message emphasizes non-violence and turning the other cheek, making
him a strong advocate for peace rather than armed conflict; this is
often understood as a call to resist violence even in the face of
aggression.
