A Bible-infused curriculum that Texas approved for public schools over pushback in 2024 will undergo corrections to fix hundreds of errors caught by teachers and education officials after the material was introduced to classrooms.

The curriculum in what is known as the “Bluebonnet” textbook is among Republican-led efforts in the U.S. to incorporate more religious teaching into classrooms. Designed by the state’s public education agency, it is optional for schools to adopt, though they receive additional funding if they do so.

Bluebonnet was approved over concerns from religious scholars that the reading lessons favored Christianity over other faith traditions and pushback from advocacy groups that the materials inappropriately prioritized preaching over teaching.

The State Board of Education voted 8-6 Wednesday to approve the changes — which include correcting factual errors, fixing punctuation and replacing images due to licensing or copyright issues — after some members questioned the high number of errors. “My concern is that we have failed students this school year who have been utilizing this product,” said board member Tiffany Clark, a Democrat.

1. Are All Christians Included?

What about the snake handlers? Are they contributing to the school curriculum? I hope they haven’t been ignored in favor of a more “Seventh Day Adventists” Christian school textbook.

2. If one's religion is so great...

Why does one need to bribe people to acknowledge it?

...though they receive additional funding if they do so.

Indoctrination is indoctrination... period.

3. Oh, look. A christian based curriculum filled with factual errors.

I'm shocked, just shocked I tells ya!
(Not really, not even surprised).
No wonder texas is in the bottom 10 of the nation in education.

14. Christianity is based on factual errors.

5. How is this not an establishment of a specific religion by a state a direct violation of the First Amendment?

Someone needs to sue. And someone needs to check the state tests to see if questions related to evangelical beliefs (many of which have nothing to do with Christianity) are being used, thus possibly causing lower scores for students of other religions.

9. Because the current SCOTUS will rule that unless the law specifically has the words...

...establish and religion in it then it doesn't violate the Constitution.

And even then it may not meet the bar they set for any interpretation of the Constitution.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

Yeah... They can "interpret" that a lot of ways....

6. Religion!😵‍💫

In its more authoritarian forms, religion punishes questioning and rewards gullibility. Faith is not a function of stupidity, but a frequent cause of it! Mark Twain: “Religion was invented when the first con man met the first fool!”

12. My take on the origin of religion...

... The sleaziest weasel in the cave said to the biggest bully in the cave, "You be government, and I'll be religion, and we'll have 'em by the short curlies for the next 50 thousand years!"

8. A bunch of Bible-pounders couldn't get education right? Who knew?

10. Reddit thread about Bluebonnet apparently both using AI to write textbooks and plagiarizing other textbooks:

11. Licensing and copyright violations. Christians didn't get approval to use the creative property of others?

They just incorporated it into their books without getting legal permission and paying? That would have lowered their profits.

13. Thankfully this is a not requirement

While a quarter of ISDs and charters have adopted parts of the curriculum, that does not equate to a quarter of Texas students. Only one large district, Conroe has adopted it and Fort Worth will just use the phonics. None of the Houston area school districts use it - the same for the Dallas, Austin, San Antonio areas. East TX, West Tx and Victoria (Southwest of Houston by maybe 100 miles) have adopted some parts of the curriculum. But still, it sucks.

15. Thanks for the facts. nt
