Why does the state of Oklahoma insist on beating its head against the brick wall?

The USSC has ruled multiple times on this matter.

So? Dems ignore SCOTUS everyday.

“Educators” my behind. More like government bureaucrat administrators.

It's being taught as history. You can not understand Western Civilization without knowledge of the Bible & Judeo-Christian philosophy.

Has the USSC ruled on having the pervert supremacists’ rainbow flag in classrooms?

There may be ten teachers who don’t like it and are being termed educators.

indicative of the teaching staffs being mostly comprised of communists. Fire any teacher that refuses to comply.

Yeah, it didn’t do any good to oppose Roe v. Wade either.

Maybe the ACLU will be out to lunch, arguing for censorship.

From your about page, it seems like you should appreciate the value of limited government. This is NOT a Federal matter. The Federal Department of Education should be dissolved.

Oklahoma should be free to educate its children the way its people want.

Here’s the problem:

“Educators in Oklahoma are refusing...”

What else are Educators refusing to do?

What are Educators adamant about doing that goes against the rights of parents who are very concerned about what their children are being taught or persuaded into adopting?

Certain lifestyle choices that really shouldn’t be part of any curriculum for a child perhaps?

If this actually had any legs, I wouldn’t want public school teachers anywhere near teachings of Christianity or the Bible, even if it were simply for purposes of “history”.

I am in favor of teaching the Bible as a vital part of our Western culture. Biblical allusions are all over our literature, our language, and our art and music. Even guys such as Pete Seeger and John Mellencamp make biblical references in some of their songs. No student of any religious tradition, or none, is going to be harmed by becoming a literate and culturally-educated person (assuming that those are still goals of our school system.) I am just concerned that there are enough teachers qualified to teach it this way.

Out of respect for non-Christians and, and taking into account real differences among Christians, I think any dogmatic or doctrinal matter needs to be avoided. If parents want to expose their children to that, they can read the Bible at home with them or take the kids to the church of their choice, where there still are people who are trained and qualified to teach that.

Our sons went to public HS and I don’t remember whether it was history or literature but they did study the OT. KJV of course.

As long as the educators walk a fine line and don’t make a flat statement that Christianity must be believed as a religion, I don’t see anything wrong with teaching it as history. They’re free to say that THEY believe in it, but not that it’s truth or that anyone else SHOULD believe. Just history is fine. Truly can’t see anything wrong as long as teachers control themselves.

But if it violates the Constitution, then no.

It’s funny, the left pushes child sexualization, leftist policies, evolution, Marxism, secular humanism, anti-God rhetoric for the past 50 years in every school and college, then they freak out over the Bible being used in classrooms? I thought they were tolerant and all inclusive! BS!!! This is our heritage and culture and too bad if you don’t like it….
