Texas makes Bible passages required reading for millions of public school students

The reading list states that excerpts from the Book of Jonah and the Book of Psalms will be required reading beginning in seventh grade. Additional excerpts from several parts of the Bible, such as the Book of Lamentations and the Book of Genesis, will become part of the curriculum for high school students. 

The list has sparked strong criticism. Opponents say it breaches the constitutional separation of church and state, lacks diversity and gives preference to Christianity over other faiths. Supporters argue that Judeo-Christian traditions played a central role in the country’s founding and should be represented in public school teachings…

How a GOP state lawmaker allied with Holocaust deniers : NPR

This January, in a drab committee room of the New Hampshire state legislature, a Republican state lawmaker teamed up with a German Holocaust denier to propose that the state's public schools incorporate a conspiracy theory when developing their lesson plans: namely, that the Nazis' murder of six million Jews during the Holocaust was a hoax...

Bible-infused public school curriculum in Texas to undergo corrections for thousands of errors

The curriculum in what is known as the "Bluebonnet" textbook is among Republican-led efforts in the US 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...

‘Very Republican, very patriotic’: right-leaning civic centers now offer courses at US public colleges

Housed in one of Ohio State's sturdy brick buildings, the center has 20 faculty members teaching nine credit-bearing courses this academic year. Most of its lectures and other events have a decidedly right-leaning bent. In 2023, Ohio state legislators allocated $24m in tax dollars to create the Chase Center and four others like it on Ohio campuses and to influence the details of university operations in a manner that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago.

 It's part of a new conservative playbook: a growing number of Republican legislators are using their power in the name of intellectual diversity to get right-leaning professors in front of all students, including, and maybe especially, the liberal ones. They are stepping in to influence who is hired and what is taught on public campuses, hoping to wrest back control from what they say has been an unchecked leftwing indoctrination of America's college students...

Oklahoma to reportedly vet prospective teachers with ‘America first’ test | Oklahoma | The Guardian

…the 50-question certification exam – which is reportedly set to roll out in the coming days – will ask about topics such as the "biological differences between males and females", freedom of religion and US history. 

According to USA Today, the test also includes questions related to false claims that electoral fraudsters handed the 2020 presidential race to Joe Biden at the expense of Donald Trump, who returned to the White House in January… 

The conservative media company PragerU reportedly developed the test…

It was a milestone for progressive education in California. Then it unraveled

…But advocates – as well as school districts and even courts – have pushed back, arguing that criticizing power structures, including foreign governments, drives ethnic studies and is not discriminatory. Last year, a Palo Alto school district refuted parents' claims that its ethnic studies course was politically radical, while a judge threw out the case brought against LA ethnic studies educators on the grounds that "learning about Israel and Palestine" does not constitute "injury". 

Teachers have pushed back, too. In April, Chloe Gentile-Montgomery, a Bay Area ethnic studies teacher who was placed on leave for allegedly including antisemitic material in a slideshow concerning Israel and Palestine, sued her former school district. Gentile-Montgomery claims racial discrimination and failure on the part of her employer to protect her from harassment from students and parents. While other teachers in the district taught about Israel and Palestine without consequence, Gentile-Montgomery, who is Black, was "singled out" and targeted, according to the lawsuit. 

Asserting that she has seen no convincing evidence of prejudice levied against ethnic studies educators, Gallagher-Geurtsen said that these incidents are examples of antisemitism being conflated with criticisms against a foreign government – with the latter being a perfectly acceptable exercise for high schoolers to undertake, she said. 

"Curriculum that makes you feel uncomfortable does not violate your rights," she said...
