Speaker McCarthy;
Since Republicans across the country have decided that government has the right to determine what students can and cannot believe based on what books they can and cannot read, does government have the right to require school districts to ban the Bible from classrooms?
Under the Parents Bill of Rights Act (H.R. 5), just passed by the Republican House majority, schools would be required to make classroom curricula public, provide parents with lists of reading materials in school libraries, and give parents the right to “challenge” those materials.
Any parent in any school district could claim that the Bible’s references to bestiality, fellatio, genital mutilation, incest, infanticide, onanism, prostitution, and rape are pornographic by today’s Republican standards.
Therefore, if any parent in any school “challenged” the Bible based on pornographic content, the school would be required to ban it.
Would it not?
Respectfully waiting for a response,
Davy Z Jones
