They are trying it again- Ten Commandments

[Monty]

I’m guessing this ignorant stunt should be termed Biblical Beetlejuice because, of course, they’re at at yet again.

The conservative-majority Texas State Board of Education is considering adding at least 15 passages from the Bible to a required reading list as part of English lessons in public schools – the latest push from conservatives to implement Christianity into school curriculums.

Beginning in middle school, Texas students could be forced to read stories from the Bible including Jonah and the Whale, David and Goliath, and Lamentations 3 in addition to passages such as The Definition of Love from the New Testament, according to the list reported by the New York Times.

What’s the fig leaf* they’re using this time?

The list also includes well-known literary works such as The Diary of Anne Frank, Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, “The Odyssey,” various plays by William Shakespeare, poems by Edgar Allan Poe and more.

*Yes, that’s a Biblical term.
