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

[ThisIsMe]

It's still trying to slip religious teaching into Public Schools.

Again, if the interview was any indication, it was about historical context, though I’m sure they are not upset that the Bible will be taught.

I guess we’ll have to see where this goes. You can be sure the liberal activists will be monitoring the situation and they see it as a problem, they’ll be picketing the school.

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.

"OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma’s top education official ordered public schools Thursday to incorporate the Bible into lessons for grades 5 through 12, the latest effort by conservatives to incorporate religion into classrooms..."

"The order sent to districts across the state by Republican State Superintendent Ryan Walters says adherence to the mandate is compulsory and 'immediate and strict compliance is expected.'"

Says the DEmocrat who supports their PArty's indoctrinating sexualizing and mutilating 3 year olds and grooming grade school kids and 'normalizing' mentally ill sexual fetishists.

Your lies are just absurd.

Trump’s IQ has been disputed for many years as he has refused to ever do any sort of formal IQ testing and rather claims that he has an IQ of 156. When asked about his level of IQ, he responded, “Sorry losers and haters, but my I.Q. is one of the highest -and you all know it!”

Or filing lawsuits when some teacher starts howling about Jesus to his students.

Again, I would do it in a way that pissed Conservatives off by reading from the parts of the Bible that don't show God in a terribly good light, like when he's drowning babies and shit.

As someone who actually DID go to school where they inflicted Bible study on you whether you wanted it or not (12 years of Catholic Prison Camp), I don't think you are doing your cause any favors.

Because you'll always get the smart ass kid who will ask those embarrassing questions.

"Sister, if the bible says no graven images, why do we have all these statues of the Saints?"
"Sister, why did God drown all the babies in the flood?"
"Sister, if Jesus was descended from King David, then why do they list his ancestry through Joseph, who wasn't his father, and they have two different lists of ancestors, to boot!"

Sure, let them ask those questions. That’s part of it. As I said, we’ll see how this goes. I’m sure there will be an uproar…it’s all part of the process.

If that happens, I wonder how many piles of ashes will have clerical collars.

 

[WinterBorn]

The idea that organized religion would have a place in our public education system is ridiculous.

But there is an easy cure for that. If a church (or churches) want to be part of the education system & process, let'em pay taxes.

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.

Oklahoma’s State Superintendent Requires Public Schools to Teach the Bible

The state superintendent, Ryan Walters, said the Bible was a “necessary historical document.” The mandate comes as part of a conservative movement to infuse Christian values in public schools.

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.

I hate to break it to you, but if one looks at the stats regarding student proficiency in Democrat run large cities, they're abysmal. The Democrat run schools do "social promoting" of the students, thus just passing them on to the next grade even though they aren't ready and they're focusing more on CRT, gender identity, and activism, rather than the skills necessary to get ahead in life. In short, Democrat led schools are a neo-Marxist mess.

Has anyone been told they can't pray?

Besides, Muslims have specific actions that are part of their prayer. Christians do not. Pray whenever you want.

Want better results then pay alot more.

This isn't about the funding, it's about the blue-haired, orange-haired, pink-haired leftist loons that are the ones being placed as teachers and not focusing on what the students need to learn to succeed, and as for teaching the bible in school. If you do it for one religion, you have to do it for them all. Thus, it should stay out of the schools.

When you interview for a position as a teacher, appearance is one of the criteria. If these rainbow haired kids are being hired, no one else is applying. The real teachers found greener pastures.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Well, I could listen to the man himself,

Who would NEVER lie about doing exactly what he said should be done in public schools.

By listen, you mean, believe anything he says, when convenient to do so.

Actually, PRETEND to believe him, when convenient.

Ah yes, whine about a fake crisis to justify your own deception.
