The Texas State Board of Education approved a new curriculum that will incorporate stories from the Bible into elementary school education.

In an eight-to-seven vote on Tuesday, the board approved the state-written “Bluebonnet” curriculum, which infuses Bible stories into language arts materials for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. All four Democrats on the board were joined by three Republicans in voting unsuccessfully against the curriculum.

    If you were to push this issue, you may even discover unintended consequences you probably do not actually want, like the formation of more militia groups.

    I do want that. Preferably in the form of State Guards, where citizens are locally trained to safely and responsibly use and maintain firearms, as well as physical training and tactical coordination.

    Personally, I think the argument that “the citizens are the militia” is half right. I think every citizen should be a part, in some capacity, of their State Guard. Nothing too crazy, 3-6 months of training and then a period of reserve during which you can be called upon to serve. Not unlike the brief mandatory military service required in other countries.
