The Breakfast Bible Study
My brother and sister do not think states should force public school teachers to teach the Bible. I see no harm because the Bible is for everyone. Now, my brother and sister promise to spend every Sunday breakfast showing me passages from the Bible that might make Christians squirm. I do not like when my brother and sister argue, but my brother says these are just casual kitchen debates. Each week, I’ll post what I learn.
In state legislatures across the country, Christian fundamentalists are passing laws meant to force the teaching of the Christian Bible in public schools. From the posting of textually inaccurate iterations of the Ten Commandments on the walls of classrooms to the incorporation of the “Trump Bible” across multiple pedagogical disciplines, these laws and mandates are sweeping the reddest parts of this nation.
The height of hypocrisy is banning books in the name of “protecting children” while mandating one particular book rife with numerous acts of sexual violence and scenes of graphic violence and genocide.
Book bans are dangerous. The Bible is worth reading and exists online and in public school libraries across the country, but proponents of mandating its formal teaching in public schools need to know what it actually says.
The Breakfast Bible Study reveals content in the Bible that Christian nationalists might find inappropriate for their children (if they ever bothered to read the book).
