Texas’s selections of readings that students must read are specific selections of verses and interpretations biased toward a particular view of theology and morality. It chooses mistranslations. Texas is requiring historically misleading passages and interpretations to preach to students–an outrageous rejection of the founders’ belief in church and state separation.
These passages and interpretations don’t help one understand history or literacy, but mislead in favor of a particular historically false theological interpretation that doesn’t aid in understanding the Bible’s historical or literature value.
Trump’s tax cuts that mostly benefit the wealthy do not sunset. His financial benefits for the middle class and below do sunset. If he really thought these programs were good and were helping people, he and the Republican Congress that passed them would have made them permanent, instead, he made them temporary to use as an election issue.
Trump Accounts mostly benefit those wealthy enough to take advantage of them as tax deductions (ways to avoid paying taxes, making the deficit, debt, and inflation worse).
Anytime the government does something through tax deductions instead of checks, it’s a sign that it will mostly benefit the wealthy.
