Texas Public Schools: Jews Practice "Flawed Religion" and Blacks Are "Descended from Ham"

I'm assuming some of the schools are private, which is how it is legal.

The OP said the study was of public schools. If it were private schools, that's all fine and dandy.

And even public schools are known for being subject to twisted state laws that taint, distort, and even fabricate things to make their side seem correct and allow for things that are indeed clearly unconstitutional (such as how many states have laws in place to allow for discrimination against GLBT students, or allow for the teaching of religious mythos as science fact without any possibly consequences).

That's the part I don't know how it is legal. Public schools are an extension of the state, since they are being run by the state. You can't teach one religious perspective as fact; that's clearly a violation of students' first ammendment rights.

Don't worry. I've arrived in the state to fix all of its problems.

I think the only real reason is the money and power that side has.

Sometimes I find stories like these hard to believe, especially since I graduated last year from a public Texas high school. Either my high school just had better standards or I wasn't paying attention in class that much.... I would hate having to go to a school that would teach such material.
