Oklahoma ready to put God back in the schools

[lennypartiv]

Apparently OK is okay with having a Chinese made bible in every classroom.

It's better than no Bible at all.

It's better than no Bible at all.

Is it?

 

[scruffy]

It's better than no Bible at all.

Government should not be promoting ANY establishment of religion.

That's my job as a parent, not Uncle Sam's.

The Oklahoma constitution is very clear, it does not allow this kind of activity.

(I ought to know, I had two kids in school there).

Locals are refusing to comply and there's not a damn thing anyone can do about it.

 

[lennypartiv]

Is it?

Sure is. Remember, we were founded as a Christian country.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Sure is. Remember, we were founded as a Christian country.

That's false.

Oklahoma ready to put God back in the schools​

Isn't God suppose to be omnipresent? What does Oklahoma have to do with it?

 

[pknopp]

Sure is. Remember, we were founded as a Christian country.

Maybe some day we will actually act like one.

I'm guessing it's a version of the Schofield Bible favoring the sophistry that the Jews are God's Chosen People and the Goyim and others are inferior.

 

[lennypartiv]

Wow, this thread even has rants against Schofield.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Wow, this thread even has rants against Schofield.

More like rants against racist hypocrites.

 

[lennypartiv]

More like rants against racist hypocrites.

Just more people who are proud of what our Founding Fathers did.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Just more people who are proud of what our Founding Fathers did.

What did your Founding Fathers do? You do know that many were not Christians as you call them.

My dad has this old license plate from his car that reads "Oklahoma is OKay." The should use that as an inspiration for a new plate. It should say, "The bible is OK."

We can do daily lessons on which commandments Trump violated.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Says who? The country didn't start going the shit until they took Christianity out of the public schools.

BS. Correlation is not causation.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Good thing they are not attending today.

My grandkids attend public schools, my kids attended public schools, and I taught for 21 years. All Christians. Thank you. Your blanket assumption is dismissed.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

We were founded as a Christian nation.

We were? Where is God or Jesus mentioned in the Constitution? No one can ever tell me.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Putting God in schools is just as offensive as restricting God from schools. The intent of Oklahoma is not to put God in schools but to allow God in schools. Religious orientated students won't have to hide in shadows fearing a gestapo raid for reading the Bible during lunch hour and Bible class would be just as welcome as satanist clubs are today. Why do lefties fear the 1st Amendment freedom of religion so much?

Reading the Bible during lunch hour has never been an issue, Even the ACLU recognizes the student's rights to do so. Bible classes are taught all over this country as literature classes. They are not taught in biology, math or industrial arts (how to build an Ark). You simply cannot promote Christianity over another. Oklahoma best walk a thin line lest they violate court precedent on allowing religious observations in school.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

A kid can be arrested for merely carrying a Bible in class. It's not an exaggeration that a gestapo squad would raid a Bible study on school grounds. The author of the1948 Supreme Court decision that created the modern "separation church/state" was none other than a KKK member (Justice Black) appointed to the Court by FDR. Separation of church and state had no basis in the Constitution. As a matter of fact it was in direct violation of the 1st Amendment guaranteeing freedom of religion.

Why are you posting such bullshit? I was required to study educational law in order to get my admin certification. We have to pass a test on such laws in order to get our "license" to be principals. I could keep a Bible on my desk if I wanted. I just couldn't read it at a student assembly or in class. I taught the topics of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Taoism, Shintoism, Confucianism and others as topics in history classes. I taught in an inner-city school where most of my students were NOT Christian.

We had a ceremony called, "See You At The Pole" where students would gather in a prayer circle around the school flagpole before class in the morning. No teachers were ever involved.

You are simply making shit up or posting from ignorance.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Maybe we are talking about different things. Virtually the entire Republican Party supports school vouchers and school choice. The vast majority of Republicans are pro-Israel and a large number are Christian. When Trump was President, his Secretary of Education was very much pro-voucher.

The GOP platform calls for 'universal school choice.' What would that mean for students?

She was pro-voucher because she was a huge supporter of private schools. They wanted the tax dollars for their tuition.
