The Texas State Board of Education has approved a proposal that will establish lists of required reading — including Bible verses alongside classic titles — for its K-12 English and literature curriculum.
“This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are either the products of the author’s imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.”
you’ve never seen that? you must not read very much.
As I said I don’t read much fiction. I tried 3 books I know for a fact are fictional from my physical collection and another 3 from my ereader and not even one of them had such disclaimer.
“We’re going to stop watering down American history. We’re going to teach the truth. Our nation was founded as a Christian nation, and Texas is a Christian state,” said Hall
That doesn’t mean they’re going to teach that bible is the truth. I interpreted those words as: “American origins are christian, so we’re going to be learning about christianity”. Controversial? Sure. Do I agree? No.
It’s the biggest anti-culture work ever created. That shit still divides Humanity faster than a cancerous cell does. So much xenophobia and racism is provoked by religious elitism. The Bible is useless. Like 99.9% of the world hasn’t even read more than 5 pages, honestly. We don’t need religion to be good people.

I’ve never seen that in any book

I read a lot, but mostly ebooks and science related stuff.
I’ve never seen anything like that.
They are put in the front pages of any work of fiction in the modern era.

You know that’s not how they’ll implement it
I’ve read the article, have you?
Yep
That doesn’t mean they’re going to teach that bible is the truth. I interpreted those words as: “American origins are christian, so we’re going to be learning about christianity”. Controversial? Sure. Do I agree? No.
But it’s not like they will show bible as truth
You know that’s not how they’ll implement it
Ah, there’s that word: “controversial”.
Holy shit are you for real??? Like wtf… pass whatever your smoking already!
