“They say everything is bigger in Texas — apparently, including the hypocrisy. How else do you explain people who say they oppose ‘indoctrination’ in public schools, but want to turn elementary school classrooms into Sunday Schools? With help from a temporary appointment by Gov. Greg Abbott (R), the state board of education has narrowly approved a controversial new curriculum that targets elementary school students for religious indoctrination. … Right-wing activists make a lot of noise about ‘parental rights,’ but this scheme is profoundly disrespectful to parents — Christians and non-Christians alike — who believe the responsibility for their children’s religious upbringing belongs to families and faith communities, not state officials.” (12/16/24)
