Bible-based lessons are now allowed in Texas elementary schools, and may be implemented in 2025. The Texas Board of Education voted 8 to 7 on Friday to allow the curriculum in the classrooms, NBC News reported . The article noted, “The curriculum adopted by the Texas State Board of Education, which is controlled by elected Republicans, is optional for schools to implement, but they will receive additional funding if they do so.” The NBC article continued: The Texas Education Agency, which oversees public education for students statewide, created its instruction materials after a law passed in 2023 by the GOP-controlled Legislature required the agency to do so. The lesson plans were publicly released this spring. Texas has over five million public school students, the Associated Press (AP) reported on Friday. The outlet said that Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) said the vote was “a critical step forward to bring students back to the basics of education and provide the best education in the nation.” The AP report also detailed some of the learning materials: In the newly approved kindergarten materials, one lesson on helping one’s neighbor instructs teachers to talk about the Golden Rule using lessons from the Bible. It also instructs the teachers to explain that the Bible is “a collection of ancient texts” and that its different parts are “the core books of the Jewish and Christian religions.” In a third-grade lesson about the first Thanksgiving, the material directs teachers to discuss how the governor of Plymouth said a prayer and gave a speech that included references to “several passages from the Christian Bible in the book of Psalms.” Teachers are then instructed to tell students the book of Psalms is a collection of songs, poems and hymns “that are used in both Jewish and Christian worship.” Oklahoma recently began requiring schools to teach the Bible, including the Ten Commandments, to students in grades 5 through 12, per Breitbart News. In his memo to all districts, Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters said: The Bible is one of the most historically significant books and a cornerstone of Western civilization, along with the Ten Commandments. They will be referenced as an appropriate study of history, civilization, ethics, comparative religion, or the like, as well as for their substantial influence on our nation’s founders and the foundational principles of our Constitution. This is not merely an educational directive but a crucial step in ensuring our students grasp the core values and historical context of our country. A federal judge in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, took aim at a state law mandating posters of the Ten Commandments be displayed in public school classrooms, saying on November 12 that it is “unconstitutional,” and ordering officials not to enforce it, AP reported. However, that decision will be appealed, the outlet continued. “Attorney General Elizabeth Murrill said she disagreed with the ruling and said her office would ask the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans to quickly stay the ruling pending appeal.”
CARLIN — Starting with becoming an electrical apprentice right out of high school, Eric MacGill has enjoyed a career of supervising the design of electrical systems which keep Nevada’s roads safe. MacGill is the supervisor for the signals, lighting and Intelligent Transportation System design section of Nevada Department of Transportation. At the Zero Fatalities Nevada Crash Safety Summit in Reno earlier this month, MacGill wanted to discuss one particular project of which most Elko County residents have seen the results — and which broke new ground for highway-lighting systems. The Carlin Tunnel, actually a system of two highway tunnels and two rail tunnels, is the only Nevada highway tunnel that requires lightning, MacGill said. As for why no other tunnels in the state contain lights, he said reasons range from cultural ones — such as how the Cave Rock tunnel at Lake Tahoe, which goes through an area protected by the U.S. Forest Service — to the tunnels being too short to need any lighting. NDOT built the highway tunnels in 1974, MacGill said. A truck travels in the Carlin Tunnel before 2013 lighting upgrades. Dim lights cast an orange glow with the tunnel's outdated sodium vapor lighting. “They actually had options to V-cut the mountain, because the mountain itself is actually fairly small. It's only about 1,100 feet, 1,400 at the longest,” he said. “But the decision was made to bore through it. So, I guess that might have been a unique situation in that we didn't necessarily have to put a tunnel in. We did have options to do other alternatives. But now we've installed this and now we have to maintain it.” MacGill worked on a 2013 project to upgrade the lighting control system in the tunnels, which are now undergoing a lighting refresh. The eastbound Carlin Tunnel in November 2013 features an upgrade from sodium vapor lighting to energy-efficient LED lighting. The new lights are connected to sensors to make them brighter or dimmer in response to outside conditions. When the tunnels opened in 1974, they had a thin row of lights along either side, MacGill said. By the 1990s, NDOT decided to switch the setup to a more robust set of lights hanging from the ceiling. The amount of lighting lessened as drivers neared the end of the tunnel. “They realized that we needed to put a lot of light at the entrance so that people were going in knowing what was there. If there was an obstruction or something in the way, they could see that before they actually got into the tunnel,” MacGill said. “In 2012, we actually started a project that continued through 2013 in the design phase. Then, into 2014 when we actually installed it, we did a lot of research in the design,” MacGill said, because they wanted to keep it modern and meet current tunnel lighting standards. “We did a lot of systems engineering. We looked at all manufacturers who stated they did tunnel lighting or they provided tunnel lighting fixtures. We compared everything. We eventually came up with a system we felt met the needs. And, fortunately, we were able to make it much more maintainable,” MacGill said. Eric MacGill shows a photograph of the lighting system in Carlin Tunnel in the 1970s, at the Zero Fatalities Nevada Crash Safety Summit in the Silver Legacy Resort, Nov. 14, 2024. “During that process, the design process, we wanted an off-the-shelf system so that maintainers didn't have something that was specialized so much that they could only get it from a certain manufacturer.” The lighting needed to be something they could realistically maintain, he explained. While the NDOT team was designing the tunnel lighting, LEDs were becoming increasingly viable as a heavy-duty lighting source, with their lumens per watt increasing. “We got to the point where we were able to light the entire tunnel using LEDs. And in North America, the Carlin Tunnel was the first tunnel fully lighted by LED luminaries,” MacGill said. In order for Carlin to have a safe LED-lit tunnel, the lights needed to be at a different level of brightness in the nighttime than they were in the daytime, MacGill said. Eric MacGill shows how Carlin Tunnel's lighting system from 2013 compares with the lighting system from the 1990s, at the Zero Fatalities Nevada Crash Safety Summit in the Silver Legacy Resort, Nov. 14, 2024. Tunnel lighting operates according to a certain formula, he explained. “The brighter it is outside, the brighter it is in the tunnel. The dimmer it is, the dimmer the tunnel lighting is. So there's a direct correlation between the outside ambient light levels and the light levels inside the tunnel.” The team realized they needed to create a lighting system which would easily adapt to different light levels outside the tunnel, MacGill explained. “If lighting was reduced due to cloud coverage or a stormy day, we had to have something that brought the light level down so people, when they're entering the tunnel, their eyes didn't have to adjust,” he said. “We ended up establishing different steps of lighting so that the lighting would ramp up slowly and ramp down slowly. We wanted to have it completely dynamic — but in that process of programming the system, it was easier to have small steps of lighting that increased, as opposed to an infinite amount of ramping up and ramping down.” A major problem with the 1990s lighting system was its cost of maintenance, MacGill noted. The NDOT team discovered “there was no dimming ability with it — it either was on or off. So, they had these huge contactors that would either shut the lighting off for certain banks or turn it on. That rush of current was the majority of the costs — not the actual cost to run the lights or the energy to run the lights, but that rush of energy as they turn these big banks of lights on and off,” MacGill explained. Eric MacGill shows an example of the lighting components used for the Carlin Tunnel. “So, we were looking at costs of $18,000 to $20,000 a month, just for the power for the 1990s system,” he noted. “Once we installed the LED lighting, it worked much more efficiently. You didn't have the inrush of current to light the tunnel as it dimmed up and dimmed down.” “The 1990s system used contactors and circuit-based technology. So one circuit would be about 10 lights and it would either be on or off,” he said. “We want a much more dynamic system with the newer technology using LEDs. We wanted to be able to ramp that lighting up more gradually, to control it more more easily.” Now, communication is sent to the luminaires from a control room, turning them on or off. “As you can imagine, there are not a lot of tunnel lighting control manufacturers out there in the world. We worked with Nyx-Hemera. They're out of Canada and they work worldwide.” However, “we didn't want a manufacturer discontinuing their product line to force us to change out all the luminaires in the tunnel. So we standardized in 2013 on a lighting performance,” MacGill noted. “In 2014, we stayed with the same lighting performance and developed a sort of cut sheet so other manufacturers can build to that standard. So, we can purchase from any manufacturer who does tunnel lighting, say, 50 or 100 luminaires that can then be put up. So in the future, hopefully, we're not going to have to relight everything, even though the manufacturer no longer carries that specific fixture that's in there right now.” “The manufacturer we worked with, it wasn't a specialized luminaire they were providing to us — but they did state that, ‘Hey, we'll manufacture parts for this luminaire that you're buying from us for 20 years.’ And unfortunately, through administrative changes on their end, they stopped that product line, so we're no longer able to get those components that made up the luminaire,” MacGill explained. “We have a project going on right now where we're refreshing all those luminaires we installed in 2014. We're anticipating getting 20 years out of those luminaires.” Along with lights, the tunnel also contains six feedback cameras which say whether the system is working, as well as a few luminance cameras which mimic drivers’ eyes to adjust light levels, MacGill explained. As the mining industry in the area puts strain on the power grid, the power system has a special filter to ensure clear communication, he said. “The Carlin Tunnels are fairly short with regard to tunnels themselves. But driver safety and drivers’ perceptions of safety, with being able to light the tunnel to make sure that they're staying within the lines more easily and they know the walls are close but not too close to the vehicles — I think those are the major factors I focus on personally,” he said. “It's exasperating because you have these walls that are so close you don't have a shoulder — and people get nervous in tunnels when they can't see well,” MacGill explained. “It's very important to make sure we're properly signing the tunnels coming ahead,” NDOT traffic safety engineer Kim Goodwin added. “Advanced signage, proper striping, all those things play into notifying that a tunnel is coming and help the driver be alert.” MacGill concluded, “We don't want drivers to be thinking about how good the lighting is or how poor it is. Most of the time, drivers don't notice that there is lighting. They just notice if they can see the road well. They only notice that there's a problem when the lighting is poor and they have issues seeing what's going on in the tunnel.” Subscribe to our Daily Headlines newsletter.
