Oklahoma public schools are mandated to teach the Bible,
and the man responsible believes it is an essential aspect
of education for all children in the state.

Oklahoma’s superintendent of public instruction, Ryan Walters,
joined “NewsNation Now” to defend his decision that all public
school children in grades five to 12 must be taught the Bible.

.. . .

Sounds like a Taliban mandating Quran study ...

Like WAY too much similar ...

We've been through all this before. If he wants
bibles and bible study then, by federal regs,
he must also have Qurans and Islamic studies
and better throw in a Gita and a book or two
by the Dali Lama - maybe even, horrors !, a
"Satanic bible". NO favoritism !!!

And students who think religions are silly stuff
get to sit out, at no penalty.

It is always AMAZING how many who gripe about not
having enough freedom will immediately crush the
freedoms of everyone else if they get an ounce
of power. This is nothing new in the world, yet
so often overlooked.

Well, EVERYBODY has the wisdom of Solomon after
all ... only IDIOTS and AGITATORS and EVIL PEOPLE
could possibly attempt any rebuttal against The
One True Truth :-)

In any case, I find it disheartening when supposed
"conservatives" want to short-circuit the BOR and
forcefully impose their views/religion - esp on
the know-nothing kiddies. We expect such from
the 'left', but what are such 'conservatives'
conserving ???
