A Settlement Agreement (full text) was reached last week (Jan. 13) with the California Department of Education in a suit that had been filed (see prior posting) challenging a prayer to Aztec gods that was in included in the state's Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum. According to an announcement of the agreement by the Thomas More Society:
As a result of the settlement, that the California Department of Education will promptly remove prayers (also labeled as chants or affirmations) from the Aztec and Yoruba (or Ashe) religions from the state-approved curriculum and will issue a public notice of such to all California school districts, charter schools and county offices of education. The department, along with the State Board of Education, also agreed not to encourage the use of the two challenged chants in California public schools.
Can they still teach kids how to cut out the hearts of their war captives to ensure the rains would fall?
Well duh! That’s biology!
They should show Apocalypto to the kids. That’ll help foster an accurate take on how the Central American empires rolled. And there’s even chants (or affirmations)
In the movie, so they could still get the pagan prayers in.
“Can they still teach kids how to cut out the hearts of their war captives to ensure the rains would fall?”
Gosh, I sure hope so!

Wait until the Aztecs and Yorubians get word of this - they will not take it lying down, let me tell you!
A left wing and a prayer
