Exactly, 1A. It can be taught as fiction as well as factual human history. The religious right will find that it cuts both ways.

Interesting point of view...I think I can see some punch ups in the staff rooms coming real soon

They can teach from religious texts. You want the schools teaching from the Koran don't you? This is your path to making that happin

@Munumbis does the ruling specify the christian bible or does it encompass all religious texts?
Why would that not sit well with "religious leaders".. something is off there.
@MoveAlong 🤔 I see, though I doubt anyone in TX would present it as fiction and because of that, there shouldn't be, at this time, any complaints by "religious leaders".

Really? Do you think everyone in Texas is a bible thumper? Yes, Texas leans heavily conservative but it is far from unanimous. And not all conservatives are religiously active.
@MoveAlong I've lived in TX. It didn't seem Christian to me at all. That aside, does it even matter when all that was spoken of were "religious leaders".

.. there shouldn't be, at this time, any complaints by "religious leaders"

But I guess people always find something to complain about, don't they..

Can’t say I agree w that ruling
One of the Texas board members who voted for this atrocious decision is an ordained minister. His speech in favor of the proposal was a combination of distorted American history, using the Bible (which was not a divine gift from God but rather a collection of manuscripts written by men over the ages) as a self-authenticating “divinely inspired” text and the only such text that exists.

He ignores the fact that a majority of Americans are not Christians and that many of those who call themselves Christians are more like cult members. There is ZERO objective evidence to give credence to his remarks.

This decision is a violation of the separation of Church and State.
@Magicianzini They “identify” as Christian and well over half of them cannot explain what that actually means.
@KunsanVeteran Yeah I don't disagree. In any war of an "us vs them" though, they will still all group up to fight, so does any of it really matter.
