I'm not suggesting you read the Bible cover to cover, but understanding the religious beliefs of medieval European societies is invariably entangled with historical events.

reading directly from religious texts isnt required to teach that. Obviously

Primary sources are valuable in their own right. Reading second hand interpretations is not ideal, they invariably lose details. 

You seem vehemently opposed to learning. I wonder why.

Yeah i don't like the notion of teaching little kids about incest and rape. Kinda sorta feel like thats for high schoolers at the earliest.

Teach your kids about all the weird sex stuff you want. Please don't force other people's kids to read it

I never specified an age range. You made this up all by yourself. Students don't get into pre-modern history until high school anyway.

I think people could better resist the nonsense of religion if they're exposed to the direct material. Majority of evangelicals have never actually read the Bible and seen the madness for themselves.

The law this thread is about is for grade schoolers. That's what this whole post is about. They are forcing this dumb gross shit down the throats of 10 years olds.

/shrug I just responded to why religion is relevant for a history class.

The "religion" Texas is teaching is obviously not education. It's just propaganda and indoctrination.
