   The phrase “bible-infused” makes this sound like some sort of drug…oh…wait. I forgot. There’s that whole “religion is the opiate of the masses” thing.

     @WarnerCrocker here's where it gets scary. Textbook content is either driven by California or Texas almost every year. Because these states purchase, by far, the most textbooks (or digital ones) the books usually are designed to match one or the other state's standards.

     Too bad these lessons won't include talking aboutDavid loving Jonathan the way a man loves a woman and Jesus loving John in such a way that he told John he, John, was now Mary's son, nevermind Mary had plenty of other sons.

     I spent some time in a Catholic boarding school. They don't do that here. They teach science, evolution, and offered also Protestant religious classes.

     The only thing that was frowned upon was putting out of religion classes, so they made sure to schedule them always during the day never at the start/end.

     Now that I think about it, that was usually the policy at state run schools too.

     @yacc143 @Tattooed_Mummy This isn't about teaching as much as it is subjugation. Viewing it through any other prism is a mistake.

     @WarnerCrocker my daughter went to a UK church school and even they don't do this. Honestly America is wild. Just weird
