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.
“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.
“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.
Bible is perhaps the most important cultural work. As long as they don’t say it’s truth, I see nothing wrong with it.
Holy shit are you for real??? Like wtf… pass whatever your smoking already!
You know that’s not how they’ll implement it
I’ve read the article, have you?
Yep

But it’s not like they will show bible as truth

The bible doesn’t contain a fiction disclaimer.
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.
