Meanwhile, in Oklahoma

[Billiejeens]

He expressed that he wants his children to learn about the Bible in school, but that someone who also learned about and practices the Bible should be the instructor.

The learning about it is already mandated.

The rest is equal to someone that learned and practices math, should teach math.

OK is a red state wasteland.

I don't think you are very knowledgeable about state rights according to the Constitution of the United States. Oklahomans elected people with their likes, which is what our joint Constitution is all about. What do you want? A war between the states, cause you're aching for a breaking and yer yappin for a ... oh never mind.

And a history teacher can teach history.

Well you just attacked them over their child mutilation practices, in quite an obscene way.

I obviously got the wrong idea.

Where in the hell did I do that? post it....

You advocate child mutilation...F* You....

You must know that Jews mutilate half their children, Shirley?

Not the same, that's a false dichotomy.

Circumcision can have several medical benefits, including:

• Reduced risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs): Circumcision can reduce the risk of HIV, syphilis, human papillomavirus (HPV), and genital herpes. It can also reduce the risk of STIs in female partners.
• 
  
  
• Reduced risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs): Circumcised boys are less likely to get UTIs during their first year of life.
  
  
• 
  
  
• Reduced risk of penile cancer: Circumcision can lower the risk of penile cancer later in life.
  
  
• 
  
  
• Reduced risk of foreskin problems: Circumcision can prevent foreskin infections and phimosis, a condition where the foreskin can't be retracted.
  
  
• 
  
  
• Easier hygiene: Circumcision can make it easier to maintain hygiene.

This is one of the creepiest things I've ever read out of an elected official.

On Thanksgiving no less. This is what those who came here, fled from.

You’re just so jealous.

 

[Crepitus]

I don't think you are very knowledgeable about state rights according to the Constitution of the United States.

I am extremely well acquainted with the constitution, as well as having been born in OK and having relatives there still.

Don't try to project your ignorance of both onto me.

Outta the park, JGalt! You are a true science guy.

No reason to believe any of that is true.

OK is a red state wasteland.

Tulsa has the best Chinese food in the country.

Better than San Francisco. Much better.

My Granddaughter teaches a 5th grade class here in Texas. I asked her "Would you be willing to read the Bible to your students if the school tells you that you must?"

She said "No, I would quit."

Have you been to Seminary school? Can you possibly imagine the Bible verse questions from a classroom full of ten year olds that you might struggle to answer?

That's the whole and entire point of the story.

So four years to be a teacher and then off to Seminary school? Or just send everyone to somewhere like Liberty University?

Nope and a huge heck no.

Neither side can do both. Public school teachers did not take seminary courses to get their degrees, and Seminary students didn't study the three Rs.

One suggestion was to have a Chaplain with their own classroom in the schools. Attendance not mandatory.

Never going to fly. Not with either side.

True, compromise is so 20th century.

The Constitution was never meant to be compromised.
