LINK A Texas school district just banned the Bible. Oops.

It finally happened. The Keller Independent School District in Texas banned the Bible in school… at least temporarily. And we have conservative Christians to thank for it.

Keller ISD, in Tarrant County, has seen a flurry of activity around book bans recently. Since last October, conservative parents have demanded that certain books be censored and kept away from students because they include content deemed too mature for their eyes. 33 books have been challenged by parents and community members, including a graphic novel adaptation of Anne Frank’s Diary, Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye, and “The Bible (All Versions).”

In the case of the Bible, an unnamed parent raised the concern. A reason was not specified.

So the conservative Christians have now become the victims of their own hypocrisy. Hooray!

Some good coming out of Texas. There might be hope for that state yet. However, I won't hold my breathe over it. Since, like you said it will be temporary.

Like, oh, I dunno. Rape, Incest, Massive Gore & Violence?

One of the more violent and pornographic books out there, the Bible! Definitely not for children.
