Oklahoma’s Superintendent of “Education” will require Bible Study in all Public schools.

[JLW]

Oklahoma’s state superintendent on Thursday directed all public schools to teach the Bible, including the Ten Commandments, in an extraordinary move that blurs the lines between religious instruction and public education.

The superintendent, Ryan Walters, who is a Republican, described the Bible as an “indispensable historical and cultural touchstone” and said it must be taught in certain grade levels.

Can anyone guess where Oklahoma ranks in Educational achievement?

If you guessed 50th you would be correct.

Oklahoma ranked 50th worst state for education, new study reports

Oklahoma ranked 50th in WalletHub's 2023’s States with the Best & Worst School Systems. The state ranked 50th in school quality and 31st in safety.

Besides being blatantly unconstitutional, we have the Chinese breathing down our throats as they make major advancements in science, and these Republicans want to bring our public education back to the dark ages. Why is it Pubs want to force down the throats of its residents their brand of Christianity (sorry Catholics) instead of having their kids attend parochial school? Teaching the Bible should stay with the Church. Oklahoma will continue to remain in last place and its children will be left behind as other states and their students get prepared for the future.

Of course, we have the Chinese breathing down our throats as they make major advancements in science, and these Republicans want to bring our public education back to the dark ages.

Oklahoma will continue to remain in last place and its children will be left behind as other states and countries pass them by.

our schools were far better when god was still in the schools,,

Oklahoma isn’t considered “Deep South” I don’t believe.

 

[whitehall]

I imagine Bible study would be allowed rather than required and that's a major accomplishment since FDR's KKK Justice created the modern "separation of church and state" that had no basis in the Constitution. . More NYT spin designed to get their left base hysterical.

He will-- when the SCOTUS ruling comes down. This is the kind of radical crap that results when the left's insanity reaches the level it has in the US today. The Ten Commandments was tiptoeing down the line, but bible study in public schools cleared the line by a mile.

Not religious but it's gotta be better that fermenting anti-racial biases or advocating for the kids gender mutilation.

Is that ranking just starting today? or has that been where they were ranked while not having mandatory bible study?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

All depends if it's an elective or mandatory. Op is behind a payswll

How is this a "Leftist" thing?

This will be kicked by the courts by the end of next week. I know CHRISTOMAGAs hate the Constitution, but the First Amendment says fuck you!

It is a shit hole, however. Tulsa riots and killing all the Osage yep thats Oklahoma.

 

[Frankeneinstein]

I consider it deep south.

but you knew it really wasn't geographically part of the "deep south"?

It is the same mindset.

if they know where "the deep south" is, how much worse can it be than your "mindset"?

 

[Winco]

Not religious but it's gotta be better that fermenting anti-racial biases or advocating for the kids gender mutilation.

Who does that in Public School?

Who wants (D) to DIE from Cancer? <<<<<. That would be you.

Think Winnie--I know it is tough, but you can do it if you try.

Bingo. If it is elective, it isn't the state promoting a religion.
