I think 1 Samuel 18:27 would be good.

Really we need an R rated HBO type series of the OT.

None would be good.

Only the parts about tolerance, treating people equally, loaning $ with no interest, even eventually forgiving said loans, not bragging about being christian, and not preaching unless others want to hear it.

Let their plan backfire in a way that's about positivity. Teachers could say "what, you don't want me to teach the actual parts of the Bible that matter?!"

Let their plan backfire in a way that’s about positivity

Part of me feels it could even if they get what they want. Hearing about the bible makes one a Christian, but thinking about it is the first step to leaving the religion. If they make assignments that require engagement it could make at least more agnostic youth.

Genesis 19:30-38

spoilerLot and His Daughters

30 Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. 31 One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to give us children—as is the custom all over the earth. 32 Let’s get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line through our father.”

33 That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and slept with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.

34 The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I slept with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” 35 So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.

36 So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. 37 The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab[a]; he is the father of the Moabites of today. 38 The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi[b]; he is the father of the Ammonites[c] of today.

Classic, and given that they do want the creation story they can easily sneak that into the printed material.
