Walters requires Bible be taught in Oklahoma classroomswww.tahlequahdailypress.com OKLAHOMA CITY – In a memorandum to Oklahoma school superintendents, State Superintendent Ryan Walters announced the implementation of foundational texts in curriculum.

This is not going to go how they think it’s going to go.

So THAT'S heading for an appeal.

Which bible? There are 17 new versions a year! The Shooters Bible? Or one of the thousands of versions named for the homosexual King James??

Only the kind that removes any actual teachings of Jesus.

Now to fight over the proper translation

Is this the same state that appointed Libs of TikTok to some of their educational boards?

AFTER she caused bomb threats to several schools here and chose to keep her when her rhetoric led to a. Student's death. This f*cking state

Well, she had to prove she had the proper callousness and contempt for the the students

please let me out of oklahoma pLEASE

Eeep. 🫂

Yes conservatives care deeply about historical context... Lol no they want to proselytize. Actual context of the Bible and history would send them into rage fits

Perhaps Oklahoma should also require praying for protection from tornadoes.

But...but...I thought the Sermon On The Mount was too "woke" for them.

Can’t wait til a kid comes home quoting the Beatitudes and their reactionary right-wing parents lose their minds.

I'd make them memorize Ezekiel 16:17. "Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them,"

Time to expand the Supreme Court.

Yeah enough of this bullshit

Even if things were to happen such that suddenly there was a majority of Democratic-nominated justices on the Supreme Court, I have absolutely *zero* confidence that they would resolve themselves to just line up and knock down all the horrors the R justices have been doing over the decade.

This is true! We’ve seen all too well how readily establishment dems aligned themselves to the right wing

I mean, like, maybe if there were Democratic majorities for the next 725 years, they'd slowly work their way through a gentle reset, but no way they would have the freaking gonads to do the sort of 'f*** this' and 'f*** that' like cats do with things on counters & tables.

Well shit when you put it that way, I take it back. Burn it all down! We’ll start over

Well there has been a strong leftward shift among Democrats since Clinton, relative to that standard, but relative to the wild right wing reaction we are facing, it's just not adequate to the task.

Eh… There’s a small progressive batch, but they’re being attacked by all sides, including their own party.

JFC

Goes without saying that I'm sure quite a lot of people in Oklahoma who are not members of the Christian cult, who have children in school.

“Hey, the Bible says we should take care of people.” “Not that Bible. We mean the one that talks about how white American evangelicals are superior.”

🙄🙄🙄

I guess tackling actual problems with the education system…you know, what they are paid to do…would be asking too much for those people in charge to do.

How come education is so much better for the godless heathens in New England than in Oklahoma or Louisiana or wherever if it’s all about pushing the 10 Commandments or the Bible on students? Unless it’s *gasp* not really about education????

This is unconstitutional. Why do we constantly have to fight this same fucking bullshit repeatedly?

The United States is not a civilized country.

I would so use that to my advantage to be evil. I'd go around telling students they where going to hell, show them the quotes in the bible that said they where going to hell, then when parents complain, tell them I'm using it as instructional support, and when fired, sue for unlawful termination.

yeah adults did that to me as a kid and that’s child abuse

My Bible camp did that unironically to me as a kid.

Unfuckingbelievable

So use a Bible to study a Wobbly table leg. Use it to boost a child higher in their seat

Plenty of horrific bible content for OK educators to use to teach this jackass a lesson.

looks like Oklahoma needs a good tornado season to sort them out
