Pretty sure the Bible also isn’t taught in public schools.

This is why I strongly support school choice. Let the parents decide how to raise their children.

Also that said, those sections of the Bible typically aren’t highlighted, aren’t graphic, don’t appear in all bibles and kids will get abridged versions.

You are wrong. I grew up in the south and we absolutely talked about things that were basically biblical in nature. The source of morals, right and wrong. We are way past that now, with cons in florida openly passing a law that says you can put up "in god we trust" in the school. https://www.foxnews.com/us/all-florida-public-schools-to-dis...

Similar things going on in the other new state determined to make laws against things that hurt their feelings, texas.

Okay, but that’s not “the Bible” that’s “biblical in nature”

I’m simply making the point that the explicit parts are not taught. Anything related to sex for instance, or even any stories as far as I’m aware.
