Meanwhile, in Oklahoma

You fail to address the fact that the vast majority of America's Founding Fathers were Christians. The two most notable Founders that weren't literal Christians were still deists who had respect for the Christian religion and even helped usher the Christian faith into the halls of Congress as well as the public schools.

If you knew anything about Christianity, you would know that the Old Testament Law made up a small portion of the Christian religion and that greater emphasis was placed on the New Testament and the actions & words of Jesus Christ.

1st Amendment.

Oh how horrifying that Christians read the bible in school.

The Holy Koran is the correct religious book to be taught in our schools.

And every Koran comes with a free suicide vest or an AK-47, depending on the availability.

 

[SaxonJackson]

The Old Testament had little to do with Christianity.

The Old Testament is foundational to Christianity in that it was a shadow of things to come. The Prophets of the OT pointed towards Christ time and again. Christ points back to the Prophets of the OT as well. They're eternally intertwined. Nevertheless, Christianity puts a greater emphasis on the NT.

Christians have long read the Bible in school. Nothing stops them from doing that.

1st Amendment.

How does that apply to Oklahoma schools? The US Congress isn't making a law that establishes a religion, this is a state issue.

1st Amendment applies to the states but you understand this.

No, the First Amendment specifically states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Requiring a teacher to be knowledgeable about the Bible to teach the Bible in Oklahoma public schools has nothing to do with the US Congress.

Go away, old drunk woman. And no, I won't have sex with you. You're nasty and probably full of blood-borne pathogens.

In your dreams you Bible huffing gimp. Walters is gonna get dragged into court and ANNIHILATED by the LAW. They gonna fuck your Jesus over.

They are getting ready to fire the teachers in favor of "religious scholars".

One step closer to the republican's dream of bringing the handmaid's tail to real life.

Republican Senator Worried About Atheist Teachers Reading Bible to Students, Wants to Replace Them with Religious Scholars

Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin, from Oklahoma, expressed concern about teachers who "may not be believers" themselves teaching the Bible in the state's public schools.

Ten women in Trump's Cabinet picks and one of them will be the FIRST female Chief of Staff. We're not going into any Handmaid's tale scenario. It's nonsense. A stupid claim.

The left has excluded anything to do with Christianity, but allowed the Koran and the gay community to invade our schools.
Which explains why they excluded Christianity.

14th Amendment.

Requiring a teacher to have a working knowledge of the Bible in order to teach the Bible does not "Abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States" any more than requiring teachers to have some form of certification. You yourself already stated that they teach the Bible in public schools, so this has nothing to do with the fact that some students might be Muslims, Hindu, etc.

Seeing how Congress is not involved in this, it's more of a 10th Amendment issue, which is reserved for the states or the people. Let the people of the State of Oklahoma decide by voting on it.

They will have to have a general knowledge of all religions.

Christianity is a death cult. Not suitable for children.

Not necessarily so. They're not teaching "all religions."

You womb is not suitable for children. Any poor kid who accidentally ends up there is a goner for sure, abortionist.
