Tee-ranny? Tie-ranny? However you pronounce it, let’s not have it
It's not a slow slide, Christian nationalists are using public schools to run us headlong into religious tyranny. Oklahoma's state superintendent has decreed that public curricula must include material from the Christian bible, a move he says is inspired by Trump. Louisiana's Governor, daring his constituents to sue him, has signed a bill mandating the 10 Commandments, using a Protestant translation, must be displayed in every public classroom. And Texas is incentivizing public schools to teach a Christian bible curriculum. One solution we offer if you're an educated educator in these states: put up a copy of values you believe in alongside these mandates, perhaps the universal rights of children.
