Then teach the parts of Isaiah which show clearly he held in contempt the people, of his day, who were doing what the "Jews" who convicted benJoseph, did, & what the "Christians" who identify as Republicans are doing now.

Teach how benJoseph called biblical-legalists "Hypocrites!" right in the bible.

Teach them all the things in their own bible which identify the "Christian" fascism as being the enemy of their own root-guru/Christ.

Here is Isaiah 1 from their bible, so you can see that what Moses fought against a couple millenia earlier ( if one happens to remember that stuff from other readings ), happens this time not within the people of Egypt, but within the Israelites..

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=isaiah+1&version=AMP

Obviously, now it's happening within the "Christians".

Notice, here, that nearly-all teachings on Hypocrites! are in the New Testament..

https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=hypocrite&version=AMP

& here is a phrase, right in their bible, of the whole "they call themselves Jews, but are gaslighting" sentiment,

which, as anybody with integrity would understand, is an accusation which can be placed on many of ANY human religion, including the Dharmic religions ( including my own beloved Vajrayana ), including the Abrahamic religions, including the people who claim Science but embody/enforce Scientism's gaslighting, etc..

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+2%3A9&version=AMP

It is a particular kind of dishonesty, and it isn't limited-to any tradition or culture, no matter how convenient to some ideologies that would be.

Find all the parts of the bible that contradict the gaslighters who call themselves "Christian", & teach only those bits.

WHEN teaching the now-legally-required-in-some-jurisdictions "10 Commandments", add this & discuss how this applies to the people who legislate in our countries:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+2%3A10&version=AMP

"Those who live by the sword, die by the sword".

Turn their own book's honest-truths against their falseness.

So I have friends in Texas who have lost their license for one reason or another. This has a wider range of effect than most realize. When applying for ANY other state licensing, in any other industry, the fact that your teaching license was revoked, no matter what the reason was (it won't say why on reports) it's a mark against you when applying for others. All they see is oh this person HAD a state license and it got revoked so, maybe we shouldn't grant this other one.

Can I teach ANY part of the bible?

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Do the Song of Solomon.

[–] Copernican@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

What's the difference here between teaching the bible and teaching history? I recall getting through Hon and AP US History and Civics with and understanding of protestantism conflicts, Calvinism, and Deism. The law and mandate is bullshit, but what is the actual curriculum requirements. If you are teaching the historical content of the Bible that means you can also teach about atheists that took issue with it. Is there a lot of room for malicious compliance?

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Malicious compliance is still compliance. If you concede this hill, the next one will be a requirement to teach the Bible as historical truth. And then it will be to prevent teaching actual science.

Oh I can’t wait for the lawsuits to follow this bullshit.

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm still pissed we are spending tax payer money defending this shit. We are doing something similar in La.

[–] PsychedSy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

As much as it sucks, at least it's being adjudicated.

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I fear what the fedsoc six will do with it. They already want a theocracy.

[–] PsychedSy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Get a poverty pony and some ammo.

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Poverty pony?

[–] PsychedSy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

Inexpensive AR. Typically bought in pieces. You can get a basic rifle pretty inexpensively.

So it can get to the Supreme Court and be overturned there?

[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

The Superintenant of OK apparently stated plainly that he believes Trump's appointment to the SC were specifically done to protect states doing this.

[–] GroundedGator@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Looking at recent decisions, it's going to go badly for those of us who believe in the anti-establishment clause.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Congress shall make no law, this actually could be interpreted quite literally by the courts that it is perfectly acceptable for a state to not only establish a religion but to criminalize other beliefs.

I think this would be a 5-4 decision with SCOTUS. I think Barrett would be against it, because she is Catholic and would see that her beliefs may not be the ones promoted. Kavanaugh and Roberts could be a toss up.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Kavenaugh has been better than expected (still bad). Actually, all of the Trump appointments have been less-bad than Alito, Thomas, and Scalia. If it weren't for the fact that Kavenaugh replaced Kennedy and Barret RBG it wouldn't be so bad.

The good news is that the next 2 up for replacement are probably Thomas and Alito. If we can hold onto the White House we may be able to unfuck this.
