IN the NEWS - California bringing back Aztec gods?

 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Exodus 20:3
From mother earth worship to now revival of ancient Aztec Pagan "gods", sounds like it's time for Christians to pull their kids out of California Public Schools...

"The California Department of Education is set to vote on a new
ethnic studies curriculum aimed at the “decolonization” of American society and includes lessons teaching students to chant to Aztec gods. If approved, what is being called the "Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum" will be implemented statewide in the Golden state.
 
The co-chair of the curriculum, R. Tolteka Cuauhtin, developed much of the material cited throughout the proposed lessons in which Christians, specifically those of European ancestry, are viewed as the source of evil to be resisted and overthrown.
 
White Christians are guilty of theocide against indigenous tribes,
the killing of their deities and replacing them with the Christian faith, Cuauhtin argues in a chart.  
White settlers thus established a regime of ‘coloniality, dehumanization, and genocide,’” Rufo wrote of the curriculum materials in a corresponding Twitter thread Wednesday.
 
The lessons also include an official “ethnics studies community chant,” and it's recommended that teachers lead students in indigenous songs, chants, and affirmations, including the “In Lak Ech Affirmation,” which is a direct appeal to Aztec gods
In that affirmation students are led to chant to an Aztec god named
Tezkatlipoka, asking it for power to be “warriors” for “social justice.

Aztecs traditionally worshiped this god through such practices as human sacrifice and cannibalism. The students are also taught to chant to other Aztec deities in pursuit of “healing epistemologies” and a “revolutionary spirit,” including Huitzilopochtli, the patron god of the Aztec empire’s capital city, a god of war and human sacrifice."
