The requirement forces Oklahoma teachers to "reference" the role of the Ten Commandments in America's founding, so as a historian & teacher, let me offer this suggestion:
"Although some idiots today insist that the Founding Fathers were inspired by the Ten Commandments, they absolutely were not."
Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters issued this memo today requiring teachers in all schools to keep a Bible in their classroom and teach from it as a historical document. (Via KOCO 5 News)
I would genuinely love a mass movement of teachers teaching Bible Belt children why the Bible is not a useful source for either history or morality, and all the incontrovertible reasons the USA was explicitly *not* founded as a Christian nation.
