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issued this memo today requiring teachers in all schools to keep a Bible in their classroom and teach from it as a historical document.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)

Trolling as Education Policy. (Also, as a history teacher I don't think they want us to teach any lessons the historiocity of the bible. The opportunities for malicious compliance are endless.)

Indeed The Bible as historical document is a LOT different from the Bible as holy scripture

Also a lot different from The Bible as a geometry textbook or as a physics lab manual. As in it has no logical place in those classrooms except perhaps as a shim to keep a desk from wobbling. The chemistry teacher could at least use it to demonstrate the flash point of paper.
