The Song of Solomon is also pretty well naughty.

Lotsa porny sex talk in that.

I prefer when a man calls bears to kill all the first sons in a village because he was called bald.

Same but the priest was actively telling us which chapter to read and which to jump. I never remembered which to jump or read so i just read everything, and i became an atheist... My mother kept telling me that to ask the priest when noting anomalies or having questions. The priest finally told me that the bible was written by humains so it doesn't have to be read exactly and is full of mistakes. My great mother told my mother that if you don't teach the bible properly you become an atheist like me... I think she mean that the priest not hitting me when asking question was a mistake XD

I also had to read the bible in school, although importantly this was highschool english class, we read basically the whole thing, and it was treated similarly to other literature, it was overall very educational and important context for understanding western society. From the article it sounds like a lot of what they're planning in Texas is to show kindergartners religious propaganda about the bible and small passages rather than giving students an unfiltered look at the full text, which seems less useful.

i like the part with balaam hitching his ass to a tree and walking a mile. also old baldy elisha and his mastery of the spell summon bear swarm. poor guy could never figure out how to cast

Where is that in the bible?

Yeah I feel like this may have the opposite effect, making kids see it as some boring school/old people stuff rather than ignoring its existence and learning about it from "tradcon" memes on social media, which may make it look "cooler" to them
