While I can appreciate the intent, I have mixed feelings about this.

What’s to stop Muslims for example, from demanding that the Koran be taught in public schools?

the founders actually intended the bible to be the basis for a common culture for the USA.

If you can require a Bible you can require a Koran or something else and open the door for abuse. Just as Free speech, something good to have, has opened the door for all views. The problem isn't the law, it is the people.

BTW, the state supreme snort will soon strike this down just as they did the first christian charger school.

The document of the followers of the false prophet has no historical significance. The Bible is referred to often in classical literature, and the founder’s writings. The very basis of our government is based on the Bible verse that He is our King (executive) Lawgiver (Congress) and Judge (judicial). Of course the left and anti-American subversive elements never want this acknowledged.

If the queer-an is taught, it should be to expose things like islam started as a religion, but morphed into political and military, and the subversive truths like it is fine for muslims to lie and even deny being muslims to further their cause.

Sure. Show me where the founding fathers referenced the Koran, or the principals espoused in the Koran, as part of our nation’s foundation.

The Koran has ZERO historical significance to our founding documents.

Oklahoma schools will be required to teach the Bible and the Ten Commandments to all grade school children.

Steps in the right direction.

Add to that teaching the Constitution and we're on our way up to our destiny as a nation.

Well, the Ten Commandments have as much juice in Islam as they do in Christianity.

I think the whole thing is ridiculous. I went to Sunday school to learn about Moses. I went to public school to learn to read and write and cogitate.

I don’t need a union mouthpiece teaching my religion to my kids or grandkids.

Islam is hostile and incompatible with Christianity and the West. Just like Marxism. Islam is less religion and more a street gang that preaches violence to non-members. Muslims can’t possibly assimilate into the greater American culture.

Islam is overwhelming western Europe. America will soon, at best, be an island of civilization in a barbaric muslim world.

Our Bill of Rights isn’t a suicide pact.

Eff islam.

They are NOT teaching the Bible. They are referring to its influence on the founding fathers.

We are a culturally Christian nation so the young needs to see where our culture came from.

Don’t expect gov’t schools to present the Bible seriously or accurately.

They’re our (disgusting) guests in a country founded on the Bible. They can assimilate or go to a place that treats them better.

“I went to public school to learn to read and write and cogitate.”

I did, too. And we sang hymns from the little song book in Music classes. (I still have one.) And we had prayer. And we were “let go” every Friday for Religious Instruction.

The Koran has ZERO historical significance to our founding documents.


With the exception of obama, Presidents on down all take thieir oath of office with their left hand on the Bible, and their right hand raised.
(obama is a muzzie and therfore took the oath on the Koran. Shamed into a redo on the Bible later...what a jackoff..).

I'm a little troubled as well, but it looks like they're trying to get around that by teaching it as history and not religion.

I was raised without religion in a non-religious home, but the house had the collection of three generations of book lover, some 5,000 books. When I was thirteen, my mother handed me a copy of the KJV Bible and told me to read it because it was perhaps the most influential books ever written as well as beautifully written. I read it with pleasure, enjoyed the stories, the poetic writing, and the poetry. I also admired the ancient Jews and Christians for understanding how to create a working livable society.
