Hot Take:
We should teach the #Bible in public schools.

The three religions most active in #AmericanPolitics all claim to believe in at least the first half of this book, and it is the most misquoted and misrepresented book on the planet, because most of the #voters have never read it.

In a functional #democracy, it is unacceptable for so much of the voting base to be completely ignorant on a factor which drives policy on such a massive scale.
