Ahhh yes, Genesis 19:33-36, Genesis 38:2, Ezekiel 23:20… lots of classics for the kids to enjoy!
It's Heads-I-Win / Tails-You-Lose with these laws. If you teach too much of the Bible you'll be in just as much trouble as if you teach not enough.
These rules largely exist to dismantle public education. It's far less about The Bible and more about finding excuses to cut funding for useful education and fire teachers who won't robotically repeat whatever the state wants.
