Republican Senator Worried About Atheist Teachers Reading Bible to Students, Wants to Replace Them with Religious Scholars

Now I have no actual issue with a subject matter being taught by those who are educated in it... it's preferred; having said that, it's obvious this will open the doors to rabid bible-thumping zealots who'll demand students see the bible as the ACTUAL WORD OF GOD instead of its true history and timeline. In other words, indoctrination.

I also believe that if there're to be lessons on the bible, then there has to be lessons on the other major religions in the world and present in the USA... many of them far older than 'christianity'.
 
AmeriKKKa is a white Christian nation ruled by Trump. Everyone else, OUT!
 
They're worried about students applying critical thinking to The Bible: "Prove your hypothesis!" "Show your work!"

Dems have long said that religion in public schools isn't about intelligent discussion - it's about preaching and forcing a viewpoint onto students.

This Senator has just proven them right. This is a gift. :cool:
 
More performance art by attention-seeking MAGAs. It’s unlikely he actually cares about it at all.
 
What's even more disturbing is the Oklahoma state school superintendent talking about "American exceptionalism" as something to be taken seriously.

"You have to have it in the classrooms. We will ensure that history is taught in every class. That means kids will know American exceptionalism," he continued. "That means kids will know the role that faith played. We will be unapologetic about that here in Oklahoma. We want to make sure that every student knows the role that the Bible played in American history."
 
When I was a kid I was taught Christianity in a state school by an actual preacher who came round every day for that purpose. I later found that what I was told was a complete load of bollocks and he should have been arrested alongside the headmaster.

If the teaching of superstitions is required, it should be done by a non-believer.

And the COMPLETE history of Christianity and the Bible should be taught. Not the “White-Christo-fascist-nationalist-washed” version, like they did with the teaching of racism in America.

Why?? It's ok to not hate the USA and teach US kids not to hate the USA.

You Democrats should try it sometime. It's not actually Nazism.....which you race socialist have plenty of practice with anyhow.
 
Teaching kids facts is perfectly fine.

Why do you Democrats hate the USA so much??
It's just one more nation-state, no different in kind from any other.

Loyalty to your country is like loyalty to your family. You are not loyal to your family because it is the best in the world, but just because it's yours.

That's a lie.....

It's the only nation that's so fucking awesome even the people who hate it refuse to get the fuck out. Democrats insist on staying for some reason. They just have to ruin it for everyone.
 
Comparing napalm to democracy is a sure sign one doesn't understand Apocalypse Now or democracy. :)

Of course I do.

I just don't define democracy as totalitarian Democrat power and authoritarianism like you and other democrats do.

Sounds like the tears of an uneducated and histrionic Deplorable.

But, if it isn't, I'm sure you'll be willing and able to cite plenty of evidence to back your assertion. :)

Since the majority of the bible is the Old Testament and is Jewish,would the "esteemed" Senator be happy with a Rabbi teaching it?

To an ignorant communist with an education he can't afford I'm sure it does....

Yea, their behavior both currently and for the last 25 years.

Pretty blatantly obvious to anyone who made it through high school....you are educated right?
 
No God fearing Christian American has anything to fear from the new religious government which is now in control of this country.

Specifically, they should be taught that Jesus was not a Christian.
