Colorado district removing biblically infused material from reading curriculum
A Colorado school district plans to strip biblically infused content from its new reading curriculum, according to Chalkbeat. The outlet's report does not specify the district, the curriculum publisher, or which passages or texts are being removed, nor does it detail the reasoning offered by district officials. It is also unclear whether the change follows a formal review process, a parent or staff complaint, or a legal concern about religious content in public school materials. What is confirmed is that a Colorado district has taken an affirmative step to alter previously selected instructional materials on this basis. Parents, teachers, and school board watchers in Colorado should treat this as a developing story until Chalkbeat or the district itself publishes further detail, including the curriculum name, the specific content removed, and any board vote or administrative decision behind it. Readers elsewhere should note this as a local Colorado curriculum matter for now, not evidence of a statewide or national policy shift, pending confirmation of scope.

From the book
The most potent weapon against parents is Rule 3. Educators reframe moral and cultural questions as technical or medical ones. A dispute over explicit material becomes a matter of library science. A dispute over gender identity becomes a matter of mental health best practice. The activist tells the parent he is not an educator, using the appeal to authority to sever the parent's confidence in his own judgment.
