    In 1988, eight men in Kingston, Jamaica, begin rehearsals for a play, a modern masterpiece titled Fortune and Men's Eyes by Canadian playwright John Herbert.

  8. Judeo-Christian :fozzie_wocka_wocka:

    "Among the many #faiths practiced by millions of #Texas #students, a new statewide required #reading list that includes #biblical passages draws from just two traditions: #Protestant #Christianity and #Judaism.

    Yet Texas #rabbis say #Jews had no role in shaping how #Judaism appears in the #curriculum, and they disagree with how the lone #Jewish text is presented. Rather than teaching about Judaism on its own terms, they argue, the lessons filter Jewish texts through a #Christian perspective.

    The #readinglist, which is expected to go into effect in 2030, will have #publicschool students across the state reading passages from the #NewTestament and mostly Christian #translations of the #Hebrew Bible alongside #literary classics. Of the curriculum’s six #HebrewBible readings, just one uses a Jewish #translation."

Beautiful, intense, dangerous, wrenching, and even hopeful. You really have to watch this one to understand. #StoryHour2020 #ShortStories #ShortFiction #AuthorReading #Fantasy #Literary #MichaelJDeLuca #RachaelKJones facebook.com/watch/live/?ref=w
