| When I was in high school, we read Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. What a treat. |

| That really wouldn’t be sufficient, though. The passages that I cited were just the tip of the iceberg. Issues stemming from purity culture based on the Bible are so harmful and so pervasive. So you don't want anyone exposed to any challenging material? Just because you read it doesn't mean that yo... |

| By the by, those troubling passages from the Bible could be mentioned as "this was relevant for people in the ANE, and is not indicative of how modern Americans ought to live." However, some places (I think mostly Islamic countries) still have honor killings, and some Muslim women go in fo... |

| Other religious texts that are worth reading include Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist and Confucian books. I remember a Chinese woman who was curious about Christianity started reading the Bible. She was surprised that it didn't really contain any advice on how to live, but was rather a history of the Jewish... |

| Whether it’s well-worth reading or not depends on your point of view. My life would’ve been better if I had never read the Bible. I just think that we need to be careful and not underestimate the power that it continues to have. I wouldn’t necessarily be against kids studying portions of it in lite... |

| The Bible is well worth reading, from the point of view that no other body of literature has had a greater impact on western civilization. There are also people today who rake in a lot of cash by quoting the Bible. I am in favor of reading it for what it is, rather than pretending that those bits ar... |

| Schools are under a lot of pressure these days. Nothing that could be interpreted as "woke." Nothing that might potentially cause White children to feel ashamed of their race. No unhealthy messages concerning gender and consent. No LGBLT+ issues. Nothing that might diminish patriotism. I d... |

| Even with the availability of Bibles, LGBTQ+ literature, and unlimited pornography, the younger generation is growing up to be more puritanical than the preceding few. https://english.elpais.com/society/2023-07-10/ah-to-be-young-and-scandalized-who-are-these-puriteens-anyway.html ...There is a curre... |
