Summary

Christian conservative efforts are reshaping public education, with states like Texas approving optional Bible-based lessons for elementary schools and other states introducing measures promoting religious content.

Critics argue these initiatives violate the First Amendment’s separation of church and state, favor Christianity, and risk indoctrination, particularly for younger students.

Proponents, including state officials and Trump, see these actions as affirming America’s religious heritage.

Legal battles are ongoing in states like Louisiana and Oklahoma, while debates continue nationwide over the role of religion in public schools amid broader cultural shifts.

PragerU and the fucking discovery institute are going to provide all of the materials to red state schools after Trump removes the DoE including slavery was good for slaves instead of teaching about the historic and current racial injustices inherent to the system, the US is Christian ignoring the enlightenment secular principles it was founded under, trans people aren't people instead of trans rights are human rights, and any social security for the working class is communism instead of the insane wealth imbalance worse than before the great depression or French revolution.
