BREAKING: The Oklahoma State Education Superintendent Ryan Walters has announced that every teacher and classroom will be required to have a Bible and that he would be issuing a memo to every school district in Oklahoma about the decision. Walters referenced a state statute concerning historical documents, arguing that... the Bible holds significance both in historical events and as a foundational element of America. If this is the case, then isn't there also a case to be made to have almost every religious text in classrooms?show more

Sooo what about the Qa’ran or book of Mormon? Or 30,000 other non christian religious texts?

Yeah, exactly.

This is insane! I support religious freedom but the government should not be promoting any specific religions.

Yeah it’s really absurd to me.

Being a Christian myself, I disagree with this. Education should remain secular to ensure it respects and includes everyone, regardless of their faith or lack thereof. Public schools should focus on providing a broad and unbiased education, free from religious influence.

I think the federal government should stop sending federal funds to schools that choose to ignore the 1st amendment.

Preferred Tender: Trump Bibles

Oh boy!

They don't call it Oklahomistan for nothing! Seriously, we have our own shariah law right here, folks. And it's not for the religion that the right wing always fearmongers about. A Christian political Taliban on American soil.

Excellent! America was founded on Christian principles, which are deeply woven into its historical fabric. If individuals prefer other religious texts, they can find countries like India, China, or various Muslim nations that honor their own religious traditions. Similarly, America should respect its own heritage. While no one is being forced to read the Bible, its significance in American history cannot be understated.
