Educators in Oklahoma are refusing a state order to incorporate the Bible into their lesson plans, setting up an inevitable showdown with the start of the school year just weeks away.
Ryan Walters, the state superintendent of public instruction, last week released guidelines to schools for how they should be integrating the Bible into classrooms, saying educators who are against the initiative “will comply, and I will use every means to make sure of it.”
The message from some schools in the state: Bring it on.
“I suspect that the first thing that will happen is he will target a specific school district or multiple school districts who he believes are not complying with his directive, those school districts will then have to make a choice as to whether to bend [to] his whim or to sue,” said Rob Miller, superintendent of Bixby Public Schools.
“And I can tell you that if Bixby was one of those schools that he selected to come after, we would file a lawsuit,” Miller told The Hill.
Walters’s guidance, which follows a June announcement of mandatory biblical curricula for grades five through 12, says that lessons on the Christian text should emphasize its historical context, literary significance and artistic and musical influence. The guidance also says a physical copy of the book should be in every classroom, along with copies of the Ten Commandments, the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

The USSC has ruled multiple times on this matter.
It’s about making a point.
So? Dems ignore SCOTUS everyday.
“Educators” my behind. More like government bureaucrat administrators.
I guess democrats don’t have to obey laws…
What is the point being made?
Has the USSC ruled on having the pervert supremacists’ rainbow flag in classrooms?
The atheists are coming out of the woodwork
There may be ten teachers who don’t like it and are being termed educators.
All the butthole libtard Christian bashes like Miller coming out of the woodwork
Satan is hard at work. Everyday, it’s something.
” You can not understand Western Civilization without knowledge of the Bible & Judeo-Christian philosophy. “
You can understand the role and significance even if you never read a single word of it.
Yes. You poked the hornets nest. You don’t have “educators”.
Like Rob Miller the butthole
You also can’t understand European history without learning Islam.
indicative of the teaching staffs being mostly comprised of communists. Fire any teacher that refuses to comply.
That wasn’t your first question.
1 John 4:2-4
King James Version
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
