They're going to get yelled at by parents, kids, pastors, etc. Or they may be set on teaching their own views or what they believe a verse to mean based on what they learned in church.

I'm a Christian and I understand those parents concerns. When I went to public school my parents worried I was being taught things that we didn't believe in, like evolution. But even though they weren't allowed to teach Creation, the teachers could talk about it as part of people's opinion rather than as the Truth. The teachers don't have to teach the Bible as though it's the Word of God, but can teach it's history and help both Christians and non-Christians get a better appreciation for it.

@victorianmelody46 3 ай бұрын

Which Bible and through which theological lens will be taught? Catholic, Baptist, Judaism, Nazarene, Episcopal, Methodist, Orthodox, Etc. Walters is a staunch Church of Christ evangelist and his father was a Church of Christ preacher. I do not want my children indoctrinated by the Church of Christ, and their christian advisers which they say will be present daily to advise children in the "true" doctrine of faith. My son is the fifth John Paul Stafford in his family and all were Methodist ministers back to the circuit rider days during the civil war. My family is not Church of Christ! God forbid we get a liberal teacher who teaches Mathew 25:35 'I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ Every Republican, christian, conservative would be at the school board screaming about wokism and socialism. Faith should be taught at home and at the church of your "CHOICE." That's why the the majority of Mayflower passengers were separatists, men and women who had entirely rejected the Church of England and had formed their own churches.

Yes, teach about the obvious incest in Genesis(where did the wives for Abel and Cain come from?), the improbability of Noah's Ark, all the cruelties and atrocities in the Old Testament, and other incongruities , also in the New Testament. Make it a point that slavery was defended and approved of on the basis of the Bible, and that the relentless displacement and extermination of indigenous people was vindicated with the Bible, then you get some of the aspects of its relevance for American history.

Science proved the existence of Noah’s ark and the flood of those times. Cruelties and atrocities have been part of human kind and not just outlined in the Bible as God gives us free choice to act and do as we see although every action has an opposite and equal reaction. Extermination of a people? That also isn’t just the Bible, it is history.

Genesis 19:30-36. I would LOVE to be in the classroom when this father raper story is taught! New International Version: Lot and His Daughters 30 Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. 31 One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to give us children-as is the custom all over the earth. 32 Let’s get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line through our father.” 33 That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and slept with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. 34 The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I slept with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” 35 So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. 36 So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.
