Scholars Say Texas Textbooks Glorify Neo-Confederate Ideas, Lie About Christian Influence on Founders. Texas textbooks contain some insane material: Instructional materials that say human racial differences can be traced to Noah’s ark. Many courses teach that the Bible is “the written word of God,” and is literally true. Many courses teach that the Earth is approximately 6,000 years old. Many textbooks attempt to evangelize; the forward of one textbook states, “May this study be of value to you. May you fully come to believe that ‘Jesus is the Christ, the son of God.’ And may you have ‘life in His name.’” Some students are being taught that Judaism is a “flawed” and “incomplete” religion. In many “comparative religion” courses, only End-of-Times Protestantism is taught. The coursework for many of these classes is simply memorizing certain passages from the Bible. Students are taught that the United States is meant to be a Christian nation; phony quotes from the Founding Fathers are placed alongside actual quotes to “prove” this.
