Far-Left Country Singer Kacey Musgraves Slams Texas Bible Lessons in Schools as ‘Indoctrination’

Wait 5 sec.

Country music star Kacey Musgraves has once again weighed in with her far-left political views, this time by lashing out at Texas for approving new education guidelines that include Bible-based lessons in elementary schools.Musgraves shared a Dallas Morning News article on her Instagram account and added the caption, “The bible being forced by people who don’t even follow it themselves. smfh. This is simply indoctrination and it’s not okay.”The singer has long positioned herself as one of country music’s most vocal liberals, using her platform to champion left-wing causes and attack Republican figures.Her latest attack on Texas comes after the state approved curriculum materials that include brief references to biblical concepts in early elementary lessons. The content is limited and educational in nature.In kindergarten materials, teachers discuss the Golden Rule as a way of helping one’s neighbor and explain that the Bible is “a collection of ancient texts” whose parts form “the core books of the Jewish and Christian religions.”A third-grade lesson on the first Thanksgiving mentions how the governor of Plymouth referenced “several passages from the Christian Bible in the book of Psalms” and notes that the Psalms are songs, poems, and hymns “that are used in both Jewish and Christian worship.”These are contextual references to history and shared cultural heritage, not theological indoctrination or mandatory religious instruction.In 2019, following mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton, she took direct aim at then-President Donald Trump during a Lollapalooza performance and on social media. She tweeted, “Don’t you hear us, @realDonaldTrump? Don’t you hear our pain? You have the power to become a hero. Why don’t you take it?” and followed up by saying it was “indescribably mind-numbing” to see Trump “blatantly and murderously ignore doing ONE THING that would not only make people happy but would SAVE PEOPLE’S LIVES,” while pushing for gun control measures.For a man who clearly loves being well-liked, it’s indescribably mind-numbing to see him blatantly and murderously ignore doing ONE THING that would not only make people happy but would SAVE PEOPLE’S LIVES. True leaders don’t stand back and watch the world burn. @realDonaldTrump— K A C E Y (@KaceyMusgraves) August 5, 2019She later doubled down, framing any support for Trump as harmful.In the lead-up to the 2020 election, Musgraves went further, declaring that voting for Trump was “an act of violence against” LGBTQ individuals, writing on X, “If you love an LGBTQ+ person and you’re planning on voting for Donald Trump in November, that’s an act of violence against them.”To each their own but know what your vote means. pic.twitter.com/4T7OWmbtqS— K A C E Y (@KaceyMusgraves) August 29, 2020Musgraves also called Trump a “f-cking tool” in comments about his handling of the coronavirus pandemic that same year.More recently, in April, Musgraves mocked Trump by sharing an AI-generated image that replaced him in a viral “Jesus-like” photo with Dolly Parton.Her hit song “Follow Your Arrow” featured woke lyrics like “kiss lots of boys, or kiss lots of girls if that’s what you’re into.”She has carefully crafted a public persona as a self-described liberal misfit in the traditionally conservative country music world.Musgraves has upcoming concert dates scheduled in Texas later this year.The post Far-Left Country Singer Kacey Musgraves Slams Texas Bible Lessons in Schools as ‘Indoctrination’ appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
