You answered your own question. It has nothing to do with what was being discussed.
Oklahoma makes teaching the Bible mandatory in all schools
- Thread starter IACub
- Start date
Sure, but that course should be determined by the local school districts curriculum, not at the state level for the same reasoning as above. It's much easier to influence your local districts then it is the folks in the Ivory Tower. There's definitely a Libertarian streak in me when it comes to local and state government. Shit gets tricky around civil liberties though.
So, about trans issue, I don’t think localities can handle it. It has to be total state rule.
That's fine, we just have a difference of opinion there.
I was talking to some MAGA moms this week, you might be shocked to know we have them in IC, but we do. They were speaking very positively about a trans athlete. They were talking about how hard working this kid is, how they wished some of the other kids would work that hard, and using the preferred pronoun.
Point being it’s a lot harder to dismiss trans citizens when you know them, and your kids don’t hate them because they’ve grown up with them. It’s easier to recognize that trans citizens are simply trying to live their life to the fullest and should be appreciated for that.
There is a thing called incorporation. The first amendment also mentions freedom of speech, press, religion, assembly. Are you saying states can restrict all that?
And, yet, people with similar views to you are fine with a trans citizen achieving in life.
It's different when you have to deal with people face to face.
14th for now maybe. Plenty of time to ratchet down the rankings. Pull funding from public schools, yeah, the plan will work. Kim will do it.
This Project 2025 is a fart in the wind? A manifesto to be ignored?
I thought it is supposed to be the right-wing blueprint for the future.
I know. Does Han81 know or believe it? Or does he even know what it is?
The Abrahamic religions are taught in middle school during studies of SW Asia (Middle East) pretty much exactly as you describe, although Islam is presented a little differently. ☺️
I could teach Islam with a rap
Islam, Islam a terrible religion
They rape little girls and don’t go to prison
They don’t eat bacon and they don’t eat grease
But they **** all the goats in the Middle East
Islam definitely needs to be mocked more. We make fun of Christians but Islam needs to be laughed at more often. They get a pass too easily.
Lol. Wow. 😮
Needless to say, I will not be using that in my instruction this year. 😂
Well. It took me thirty seconds to come up with it. I’ll stay pc next time
Uh, they point out the religions exist; they do not dig into "Bible stories" from every religion.
Far far different from what OK is doing.
I know.
That was my point to the poster suggesting we just teach the basics of the Abrahamic religions. Uhm, we already do that.
What is happening in Oklahoma is just bat shit crazy.
Maybe it's time to consider safeguards on SCOTUS overreach. Afterall, with omnipotent authority they theoretically can make virtually any decision, as in Presidential immunity. They can strip any boundaries we take for granted with legislation the only recourse.
We are in new territory for separation of powers and the Supreme Court has refused accountability for its transgressions and absolute authority and impunity for its radical decisions. Exaggerating the crisis Justices operate on the bench with ethical, possibly criminal activities in the background and/or refuse to recuse cases involving conflicts of interests are untouchable due to political reticence.
The opposite of legal prudence.

We have them
Problem is, we have an entire political party that supports fascism, and wants a Court Star Chamber to over-rule our democratic norms, so long as they get God in schools and can ban abortions.
Ryan Walters is facing headwinds. Some republicans are upset at his refusal to open his books to them or face oversight.
An 'Impeach Ryan Walters' rally was held Saturday at the state Capitol
Impeaching Ryan Walters was the focus of a citizens' rally on Saturday at the state Capitol.

Which set of 10 commandments? There are 3 different versions in the Hebrew Bible. Only one of which Exodus 34 1-29 is actually given the label the 10 Commandments and that one is never used for the basis of any of these 10 Commandment lists people put out today.
I was just going to post the same question.
Maybe they should use the Marcion Bible:
Marcionism - Wikipedia
Marcionism was an early Christian movement that regarded the New Testament God as a different entity than the Old Testament God. The Old Testament God was the "demiurge" and is a cruel God-Emperor of the physical world. The New Testament God is the cool god who just wants peace and love and represents the spiritual world.
Good Christian Oklahoma boys....
All parents are not created equally.
Some are much dumber and more malevolent than others.
That's why outside entities don't blindly trust parents such as yourself anymore to teach your kids the Bible, which you're still more than welcome to do, btw..............
In other words, it's a "few ruining it for the many" issue.
The parts that a troubling number of Americans read. The one with the separation of the races, and the parts about running the US as a theocracy.
How cute you found some lying links on the internet. I'm glad to see you do your own research.
