Texas could become the first state to require Bible readings in public schools, but religious scholars who reviewed the proposed list have questioned its academic merit.
use of translations that they say have been discredited
New International Version? It’s known to be shite, where translations of some sections are distorted to fit pre-conceived fundie superstitions rather than being faithful to the original texts.
I mean, the KJV is full of errors, often due to errors in the source documents used, but at least it was translated by people who were literate.
The ESV, also on the list, is even worse. A bunch of conservative evangelicals read evangelical conservative translations and decided they weren’t misogynistic enough and decided to make another even more conservative version.
