[CardCaptorDeadpool 386]

Texas is enforcing a law to teach the bible in public schools this year

O.O wow!

It's just an elective.

If less than fifteen students enroll, they don't have to teach it at all.

Meh.

I really haven't seen this anywhere.. and I live near central.

But meh. I don't really care.

 

And yeah what Cella said. They only hire teachers based on the number of students that sign up for the course. I think it will be an elective. If not enough students sign up they fire the teacher, and just don't have to teach it at all.

I see so this law is easily loopholed

I take Bible and it is not an elective but required where I go to school. I am a senior and in order to graduate highschool we need one year of senior religion. We had our first test today and memorizing all the books in the Bible...haha... Made a 100 though :] But still it should be an elective. People have different views on what they believe and some don't want to take Bible at school for that reason.

i cant believe they would do that. thats a real controversial subject to teach at a school. is it public or privet?

[Clueless 75]

It would be stupid if it wasn't an electing and a permanant subject.

You can't really just force this religion onto other people. Everyone's entitled to their own beliefs and we cannot change how they are.

 

At my school we have Religious Education twice a week --;

[well i do go to a catholic school.]
