Your government is moving each day closer to a theocracy, where a narrow and hateful brand of Christian fundamentalism will rule.
With no debate and few votes against, Georgia’s legislature just
passed a law allowing public high schools to teach the bible. The law
allows schools to offer an elective course teaching the history and
literature of the Old and New Testaments, and gives local school boards
lots of room to determine the courses. It is expected to be upheld by
the courts because the law claims to use the bible as an educational
text.
What makes this encroachment of theocracy into the schools worse is
it was passed with a 50-1 vote in the state Senate, and 151-7 in the
House. And if you thought the Democrats would oppose it, think again – they introduced the law!
The World Can’t Wait! Drive Out the Bush Regime!
