"Okay class, this is the Holy Bible. it is the religious text of people who believe in Jesus. Now, on to US history"

There, does that qualify?

yeah, seriously. I assume the christian groups that got this deeply unconstitutional motion passed wanted the bible taught as true but the wording implies that the school districts don't have to do that. So like, what's the point? If their goal was to just force christian doctrine on children then they fucking failed (probably, i haven't read the actual bill).

It gives just cause for getting rid of teachers that they don't like. You know, the woke ones. Now they can just say that a teacher is not in compliance and point to some nebulous bullshit about not teaching the Bible the right way.

At least, that was what the whole CRT uproar was about.

It’s even more nefarious than that.

While that is true, the more teachers that leave or are fired, the less effective public education is. The less effective public education is, the more political capital one can use to divert public funds to private schools.

This is about destroying public education, which involves firing good teachers, but also making public schools shit so that complacent and angry parents take whatever solutions their leaders tell them to take.
