BREAKING: Americans United's President and CEO Rachel Laser issued the following statement in response to the Texas State Board of Education approving the Bluebonnet elementary curriculum in reading and language arts that veers into Bible study and whitewashes history: www.au.org/the-latest/press...
Dark blue graphic announcing breaking news titled: Americans United urges Texas school districts not to implement Christian Nationalist Bluebonnet elementary curriculum. Quote from Rachel Laser: exas’ new Bible-infused elementary curriculum is part of the nationwide effort by Christian Nationalists to impose their religious beliefs on public school students. Families, not politicians or public school officials, should decide if, when and how their children engage with religion. Quote from Rachel Laser: If families learn their public schools are using this curriculum, or introducing any coercive religious lessons in their classrooms, we encourage them to contact us at au.org. Our attorneys are standing by and ready to defend their religious freedom.
