@pbsnews: Passages from the Bible will now become required reading for public school students in Texas. That follows the Republican-controlled state board of education approving a new, mandatory reading list on Friday, the first of its kind in the country. William Brangham discussed the new guidelines and how they came about with Jaden Edison, the public education reporter at The Texas Tribune. #pbsnews #news #texas #schoolboard #bible #education #requiredreading #reading #readinglist

Read it and then critique it 🤭

Start critiquing it and have them point out the flaws and plot holes.

if i was teacher id simply say it's not for a grade and if I had to have it for a grade it'll be a coloring page to "prove" they read it. it would not be mandatory for me more like you can if you want but it won't be a major grade
