The Texas State Board of Education approved a new curriculum that will incorporate stories from the Bible into elementary school education.

In an eight-to-seven vote on Tuesday, the board approved the state-written “Bluebonnet” curriculum, which infuses Bible stories into language arts materials for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. All four Democrats on the board were joined by three Republicans in voting unsuccessfully against the curriculum.

First rule of fascism - rules, laws, traditions and norms exist for 2 reasons:

Protect the in-group (the fascists)
Subjugate the out group (literally everyone else)

It's like playing poker with a toddler - the rules are irrelevant - it's just "I win"
