The proposed curriculum overhaul was released a week after the Texas GOP proposed requiring the Bible to be taught in public schools. School districts that opt to use them will get more funding.

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.

    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.
