The Texas State Board of Education approved a new curriculum that will incorporate stories from the Bible into elementary school education.

In an eight-to-seven vote on Tuesday, the board approved the state-written “Bluebonnet” curriculum, which infuses Bible stories into language arts materials for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. All four Democrats on the board were joined by three Republicans in voting unsuccessfully against the curriculum.

Do the adults pushing this even know and understand the Bible stories? Nothing they do ever suggests it.

Lol. I don't think I realized how much their old music is driven by a great voice and good music. Those lyrics 👀
