  • Texas Puts Bibles in Public Schools
    2025/02/22
    Legal rights groups urge school leaders not to adopt Texas’ Bible-infused curriculum

    The Texas Tribune, By Jaden Edison, on January 30, 2025

    https://www.texastribune.org/2025/01/30/texas-aclu-bible-bluebonnet-curriculum/#:~:text=The%20American%20Civil%20Liberties%20Union,Learning%2C%20would%20%22unlawfully%20impose%20a

    The Texas State Board of Education’s recent adoption of the Blue Bonnet curriculum, a Bible-infused educational program, has sparked legal concerns and pushback from civil rights groups. Critics argue that the curriculum heavily integrates Christian ideology, downplays significant historical events like slavery and civil rights struggles, and promotes religious favoritism in public education. Supporters, on the other hand, defend it as a necessary inclusion to properly teach students about history and the influence of Christianity. Adding fuel to the controversy, the state is offering schools $60 per student to implement the curriculum, raising concerns about whether this amounts to coercion. Legal organizations are warning school districts of potential constitutional violations, particularly regarding the separation of church and state. Texas now joins other states like Louisiana and Oklahoma in pushing religiously motivated education policies, with legal battles looming on the horizon. The broader issue at play is where the line should be drawn between education and indoctrination. If a curriculum truly aimed to educate about religious diversity, it would include perspectives from multiple faiths, rather than elevating Christianity above all others. Yet, attempts to introduce other religious viewpoints often meet resistance. A recent Supreme Court ruling weakened the “Lemon Test,” a key standard for determining church-state separation, further blurring the legal boundaries. The concern now is that similar religiously motivated educational policies could spread unchecked, challenging secular principles in public education. This push for Christian-centric education also exposes the hypocrisy in religious privilege. If proponents argue that the majority should dictate educational content in a democracy, then why aren’t non-Christian perspectives equally considered? While groups like the Satanic Temple and some Jewish organizations have challenged such policies in court, these efforts often receive less attention. The core issue remains: why does Christianity receive special treatment while other faiths and secular viewpoints are marginalized? With legal battles ahead, the role of religion in public schools may soon face even greater scrutiny.

  • Pastor thinks Trump is Hitler
    2025/02/20
    Pastor who compared Trump to Hitler is pushed out of church

    Mail Online, By Bethan Sexton, on February 4, 2025

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14359493/pastor-compared-Trump-Hitler-church-charlotte-myers-park-baptist.htm

    Dr. Ben Boswell, a pastor at Myers Park Baptist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, was asked to resign after church attendance declined during his tenure, which began in 2016. While church leaders insist his removal was due to dwindling attendance rather than his progressive sermons, critics argue that his messages of inclusivity, racial justice, and political awareness alienated white congregants who didn't want to confront issues of privilege. The discussion highlights the tension between religious institutions preaching social justice and the financial realities of maintaining a congregation. The panelists note the irony of a church claiming to support inclusivity but rejecting the social consequences of that stance. They also debate whether churches should engage in politics at all or focus solely on social work, like aiding the poor, without taking a political stance. Ultimately, the conversation underscores the broader trend of declining church attendance and the struggle for relevance in modern religious spaces.

  • Church Pastor Heils Musk
    2025/02/18
    Priest Booted From Church After Imitating Musk's Salute

    The Daily Beast, By Emell Derra Adolphus, on January 30, 2025

    https://www.thedailybeast.com/right-wing-catholic-priest-father-calvin-robinson-hits-the-musk-salute-at-pro-life-talk/

    Father Calvin Robinson, a right-wing priest with ties to the UK’s far-right movement, was removed from his church after performing a salute reminiscent of Elon Musk’s controversial gesture at Trump’s inauguration rally. Robinson claims it was a joke mocking liberal outrage, but the Anglican Catholic Church took swift action, drawing a clear line between political expression and extremist signaling. The panel discusses the implications of religious leaders engaging in radical rhetoric and contrasts Robinson’s actions with Minister Buddy’s call for compassion and inclusion. They note the long history of religious institutions aligning with fascism and mock Robinson’s complaints that liberals criticizing him are the real fascists. They also find it ironic that he claims victimhood after deliberately provoking outrage. The discussion highlights the hypocrisy of extremists using religion as a shield while pushing hateful ideologies.
