Twelfth grade
Students look for religious influence in the American financial system
Social studies: The one-semester government course would ask students to “describe religion in relation to America's core ideals, including civic virtue, limited government, rule of law, and preservation of liberty.”

The required half-year course on personal finance would ask students to “explain how historical or religious texts have influenced American financial systems,” though the curriculum does not specify which texts should be taught.

The optional economics course would have students identify “individual economic endeavors in historical and religious texts, including the Torah and the Old Testament.”

Reading list: Seniors would read 1 Corinthians Chapter 13, known as “The Definition of Love” from the English Standard Version, describing love as an essential and eternal virtue.

Tom Wrongbottom @wrongbottom.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

Eleventh grade
Story of Adam and Eve is required reading
Social studies: The U.S. history course would cover several religious concepts that are first introduced in younger grades, including American colonists’ search for religious freedom and the influence of the Second Great Awakening, a religious revival in the United States, on social movements.

Students would learn that the Black Robe Regiment, first introduced in second grade, is a point of “inspiration for the Declaration of Independence.”

Reading list: Juniors would read the biblical creation story of Adam and Eve from Genesis chapters 2 and 3 from the New International Reader’s Version of the Bible.

Tom Wrongbottom @wrongbottom.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

Tenth grade
Lessons emphasize conflict between Christianity and Islam
Social studies: In a new world history course, students would cover the origins of major world religions, with a particular focus on Christianity, including major developments like The Edict of Milan, the Nicene Creed, the rise of the Holy Roman Empire and The Great Schism of 1054.

Students would also be asked to identify the central religious texts of Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Islam.

The new standards emphasize tension between Christianity and Islam. The Crusades and the Spanish Reconquista are cast as “Christian efforts to reclaim lands conquered by Muslim powers.”

Muslims are also described as engaging in the practice of slavery and attempting to invade Frankish kingdoms during the Battle of Tours in the year 732.

Students would be asked to explain “the teachings of jihad and how they led to the expansion of Islam and the conquest of Christian lands.” And they would be required to describe “the rise of radical Islam” and its connection to terrorist groups and the attacks of September 11, 2001.

Reading list: Sophomores would read selections from the book of Job from the New International Reader’s Version, a poetic book in which a wealthy man maintains faith in God despite immense suffering.

Tom Wrongbottom @wrongbottom.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

Ninth grade
First focus on other religions
Social studies: The curriculum proposes a new World Geography course, which would have the broadest content on world religions as students progress through units on various regions, including East Asia, Latin America and Europe, among others.

Students would be required to “describe central ideas of religions or philosophies, including Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, Confucianism, and Daoism.”

Reading list: Ninth graders would read the direct text of David and Goliath from the book of 1 Samuel in the New International Reader’s Version of the Bible.

They would also read the parable of the Prodigal Son from the book of Luke, a story in which a wayward man returns home and seeks repentance.

Tom Wrongbottom @wrongbottom.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

Eighth grade
Biblical readings continue
Reading list: Eighth graders would read the third chapter of Ecclesiastes from the King James Version, a passage on wisdom known as “To Everything There is a Season,” which declares that life events, such as birth, death, and healing, happen at designated times.

They would also read the third chapter of Lamentations from the 1917 Jewish Publication Society Tanakh, a translation of the Hebrew Bible. The passage is an acrostic poem that describes a speaker’s shift from despair to hope in God’s faithfulness.

Tom Wrongbottom @wrongbottom.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

Seventh grade
Students read 'The Shepherd's Psalm'
Reading list: Seventh graders would read the Old Testament book of Jonah from the New International Reader’s Version as well as Psalm 23, commonly known as “The Shepherd’s Psalm,” from the King James Version of the Bible, which portrays God as a shepherd who protects and provides for his people.

They would also read a passage from the book of Matthew in the King James Version of the Bible known as the Eight Beatitudes, a portion of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount that outlines virtues for living, such as humility and purity.

Tom Wrongbottom @wrongbottom.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

Sixth grade
How should slavery be presented?
Social studies: In lessons on 19th-century history, students would learn about connections between Christianity and the abolitionist movement, including a growth in moral opposition to slavery spurred by the Second Great Awakening. They would also draw parallels between Harriet Tubman’s role as a leader of the Underground Railroad and Moses’ biblical story of the exodus from Egypt. Historians pointed out that the lessons lack the context that slave owners also used the Bible to justify their position.

Reading list: Sixth graders would read a passage known as “Do Not Be Anxious” from the book of Matthew in the English Standard Version of the Bible, in which Jesus instructs people to cast aside earthly anxieties and instead “seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness.”

Tom Wrongbottom @wrongbottom.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

Fifth grade
Christianity central in history lessons
Social studies: Students would be asked to identify the roles of Martin Luther and King Henry VIII in Protestant movement in Europe, explain that the printing press provided wider access to the Bible, and explain how disagreements over religious freedom led Europeans to migrate to America.

Reading list: Fifth graders would read two biblical stories about Moses in the book of Exodus from the New International Reader’s Version. The first, known as “The Burning Bush,” describes a conversation in which God, embodied as a bush on fire, instructs Moses to lead the Israelite people out of slavery. The second, known as “Parting of the Red Sea,” describes a miracle in which Moses divides a sea with his staff to allow the Israelite people to escape Egypt.

Tom Wrongbottom @wrongbottom.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

Fourth grade
First reading directly from Bible
Social studies: Students would be expected to understand the importance of Christianity in medieval Europe, naming the Catholic Church and the Pope as important institutions and explaining how monks’ preservation of the Bible later influenced the ideas of American founders.

Students would also learn that the Magna Carta, which is currently taught in eighth grade, is the first document to have “limited the power of the king and protected individual rights, based on Christian beliefs.” And they would learn that the Crusades, currently taught in high school, were quests to “reclaim Christian control of the Holy Land and Jerusalem after previous Muslim conquests.”

Reading list: In this grade, students would be required to read the first passage directly from the Bible. In “The Necessity of Humility” passage in Luke 14:7-11 from the New International Reader’s Version of the Bible, Jesus teaches a parable about remaining humble while observing guests scramble for places of honor at a banquet.

Tom Wrongbottom @wrongbottom.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

Third grade
Jesus, Moses and Abraham are introduced
Social studies: The third-grade standards kick off a chronological telling of world, national and state history that runs through eighth grade.

They contain entirely new lessons on the Old and New Testaments and major biblical figures.

Students would learn “how Hebrew teachings, including the Ten Commandments, provided foundational ideas about right and wrong that influenced American laws.”

Abraham and Moses of the Old Testament would be presented as historical figures. The standards would require students to identify Jesus as a “central figure” in Christianity and describe his teaching of “treat others the way you want to be treated” as a well-known phrase in American culture. Additional lessons dive into the origins and spread of Christianity under the Roman Empire.

The standards also draw connections between biblical concepts and the foundation of the United States, teaching that the Hebrew idea of a “chosen people” influenced the Puritan movement to North America and that Moses’ story of leading the Israelites out of Egypt was inspiration for American colonists and enslaved people.

Students would be expected to “describe how Christian beliefs such as valuing every individual, doing what is right, and showing compassion for others helped shape American ideas about equality, rights, and treating people with dignity”.

Reading list: Students would read “ROAR! Daniel and the Lions’ Den,” an adaptation of an Old Testament story in which the biblical figure Daniel is thrown into a lions’ den by the Persian king Darius and later saved by God.

Tom Wrongbottom @wrongbottom.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

Second grade
Black Robe Regiment raises questions
Social studies: Second graders would learn about the Black Robe Regiment, which is not currently found in the state’s curriculum. The concept is described in the proposal as a group of pastors who supported the patriot cause during the American Revolution. But historians contest that the group even existed and say the term has been used by modern-day evangelicals as a rallying cry for pastors to become politically involved.

Reading list: Students would read two picture books with biblical themes: The first, an excerpt of David and Goliath from “A Children’s Book of Heroes,” depicts the triumph of a young Israelite Shepherd over a giant warrior.

The other, “Moses: When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom,” describes the abolitionist icon’s relationship with her faith and compares her journey to that of an Old Testament figure who led the Israelite people out of slavery in Egypt.

Tom Wrongbottom @wrongbottom.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

First grade
Catholic missions show up earlier
Social studies: Students would again learn the story of the first Thanksgiving, this time, identifying that Pilgrims were “seeking freedom to worship God” in America.

They would also learn about Catholic missions, which are currently taught in fourth grade, and define them as “communities where American Indians lived, worked, and learned Christianity.”

Reading list: First graders would encounter the first religious text on the K-12 literary list, reading an illustrated version of the Noah’s Ark story by Peter Spier, about a biblical global flood.

Tom Wrongbottom @wrongbottom.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

Kindergarten
Lessons on Pilgrims focus on faith
Social studies: Right now, lessons on the Pilgrims’ journey to America are taught in the eighth-grade. The new curriculum would move those lessons to kindergarten and boost the religious emphasis, asking students to define the Pilgrims as people who came to America to seek religious freedom and "advance the Christian faith."

The standards would also require them to explain the Mayflower Compact, in which Pilgrims agreed to "follow rules, based on Christian values, for the good of the community."

In a later unit on Texas heroes, students would learn the story of Father Damian Massanet, a Spanish Franciscan priest credited with building the first Catholic mission within modern Texas borders, which operated from 1690 to 1693.

Massanet is not found in the current standards. Donald Frazier, a history professor at Schreiner University who served as a content advisor on the overhaul, said his addition to the curriculum would allow teachers to talk about the origins of the name “Texas,” which he said was derived from a Native American word for ‘friendship’ and written down as “Tejas” in Massanet’s correspondence.

“You look for stories that will resonate, and that's one that people thought might actually land best in kindergarten,” he said.

Because we can't do multiple things at once. Or that impeachment can't serve as messaging. I want to kick sand in the face of this skeets.

this shows Democrats laser focused
on a thing they can *actually* do (win

congressionally) over a symbolic
strongly worded letter (which is what
impeachment is in this congress) so l'm
sure Bluesky has responded with praise

"Kratom Eye Wobbles" (Nystagmus):
This is a frequently reported side effect
where the eyes involuntarily jerk or "skip"
from side to place, making it difficult to
focus on objects. It is often accompanied
by dizziness, vertigo, and nausea
Pupil Changes (Miosis): Similar to
traditional opioids, high doses of kratom
can cause pupils to constrict or become
pinpoint. Conversely, low doses might
sometimes cause mild dilation due to the
stimulating effects
Bloodshot/Irritated Eyes: Regular use
may cause red, irritated eyes (sclera).
Dry Eyes: Chronic use can reduce tear
production, leading to discomfort
irritation, and blurry vision
Jaundice (Yellowing): In severe cases
high-dose kratom has been associated
with cholestatic liver injury, which can

This movie is basically Frankenstein and his Bride
meets Bonnie and Clyde with the tiniest bit of
Legend of Billie Jean thrown in. I wanted to like it, but
it was just all over the place and at times chaotic and
confusing. If they had maybe picked on storyline and
followed it, it could have been much better.

"But the online right saw something else. Users (mostly male) saw the penguin as a powerful rebuke of secular modernity. They interpreted the penguin not as lost, but as a free thinker. To them, he was rejecting the colony. In today’s terms, that means rejecting secular postmodern orthodoxy and marching toward a greater purpose."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
"FOP Stands with ICE"
Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police Condemns Rhetoric
(Minneapolis, MN) The Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police stands with the men and women of
Law Enforcement across the country. Over the past month, while Federal law enforcement has
been doing their job in Minnesota, political and community leaders have condemned and vilified
them.
The hateful and anti-law enforcement rhetoric by Mayor Frey and other politicians have made
their jobs and those of local and state law enforcement more difficult and dangerous. The job of
law enforcement is difficult and dangerous enough without the agitation by leaders in our state
and communities
When citizens are accused of a crime, they are given the presumption of innocence as afforded
by due process. When there is an incident involving law enforcement, politicians and activists
immediately condemn those involved and are scrambling for sound bites. They do not afford
them the same due process but rather convict them in a public court of opinion while an
investigation is barely beginning
The Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police condemns these attacks on law enforcement and calls
on politicians and leaders to stop the anti-law enforcement rhetoric and to ask for calm while the
facts come out.
T
The National Fraternal Order of Police is the oldest and largest law enforcement organization in
the United States, with more than 382,000 members.
