More than 300 Texas school districts and charter schools have signaled plans to use a state-developed reading and language arts curriculum that attracted national attention last year for its heavy references to the Bible and Christianity, according to data obtained by The Texas Tribune.

        Those were some of the “pilgrims”. Many founders were Deists and would have been candidates for victims of the Inquisition.

        Proverbs 6:16-19

        There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

        Ya, not a single one of them.

      Ironically, those same teachings: thoughtless belief and bottomless greed.

    Absolutely sickening but on the plus side, less competition for everyone else’s kids.
