Elementary school curriculum proposed this week would infuse new state reading and language arts lessons with teachings on the Bible, marking the latest push by Texas Republicans to put more Christianity in public schools.
The Texas Education Agency released the thousands of pages of educational materials this week. They have been made available for public viewing and feedback and, if approved by the State Board of Education in November, will be available for public schools to roll out in August of 2025. Districts will have the option of whether to use the materials, but will be incentivized to do so with up to $60 per student in additional funding.
Genuinely looking forward to the Satanic Temple shenanigans over this one. A competing Satan infused curriculum would be fun
Especially since the Satanic Temple doesn’t even believe in a literal Satan. The Satanic Temple beliefs are essentially just empathy, reason, and the pursuit of knowledge.
Yeah, they’re great! I remember first reading about them well probably over a decade ago. They do amazing work.
Fuck the satanic temple. It’s supposed to be better when fake satanists argue with extremist christians inside schools? Fuck that, because that’s fucking stupid.
Fight all religions, including stupid fucking satanists, stupid fucking noodle idiots, and stupid fucking jedi.
The Satanic Temple is specifically only using religion and satanic themes to point out the double standards and combat them.
Religious institutions get all sorts of exemptions, get statues and displays on public grounds, get stuff posted in schools, etc, etc. So they said ok, then we are a religion also, so we do too.
Other than basically trolling religion to highlight the double standards their beliefs simply boil down to “be a decent human”.
I think it’s wonderful.
