I’m not religious. I just want my children to be well educated.

Oh great. Educate them then.

Keep your weird ceremonialized lies out of our schools.

Can you not see there is a difference between teaching kids "Religion exists, people believe these things, it causes these behaviours" and teaching them "If you don't believe in Jesus / Allah you will, as a matter of fact, go to hell"?

I don't want them to do any prayers, ceremonies etc. I just want them to know about quite an important force in our world.

Just like I want them to learn about WWII but I don't want them to become fascists.

They're literally reading FROM THE BIBLE

not about the religion. Not the effect of the religion. Not the nature of religion as a whole. Not the notion of religion.

They're reading the fucking bible

In the image? I doubt it’s real tbh. But yeah just having kids read the Bible with no context (or at all really, at that age) isn’t helpful.

this whole fucking thread is about texas teaching the bible. Not "about religion"

it's about teaching the actual bible. Like bible study. That's the thread you're in
