This and the bullshit in Louisiana need to stop. Kids can't even get out of school with the ability to READ or do basic math. Many schools don't even teach science until the later grades. Kids are not learning how to survive in modern society or the modern workplace. If you want Jesus and the bible in your life, that's great. Go to church. Also, this seems like pandering. It is already being challenged and will more than likely not hold up in court. It's like gun laws that are obviously not holding up to scrutiny based on the Bruen (or other) decision. They are a waste of taxpayer money just to score political points. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

Nope. I can read quite well. If you think this will be all be conveyed from a purely historical perspective, you’re fooling yourself.
Well…hard to argue with that. How would this be any different from the schools teaching kids that God does not exist? I’m sure everyone who has posted here so far would have a big problem with that. As hard as it may be for you all to believe, so would I. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I wish they would focus on reading, writing, math, critical thinking and bring back shop classes The Bible is an optional item but we already have churches whose soul purpose of existence is the Bible. Waste of time in a school. | |||

I completely agree. In high school, where you start to be offered elective courses, I have no issue with any religious classes being offered for students to choose from. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer.

I consider myself to be a pretty good Christian but making this mandatory in public schools is not such a good idea. Is this even legal? As someone has mentioned, why not offer it as an elective? .....never marry a woman who is mean to your waitress. | |||

Legal? Highly unlikely, even if pitched as Western cultural/moral/religious history. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Either allow all religious teaching or ban them all. And therein lies the rub. There are school systems that permit certain religions to be taught and not others. ——————————————— The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 14:1 | |||

It should be an elective in public school. Public school needs to go back to teaching the basics.

No doubt being ginned up as a test case for SCOTUS. I’ve been following this guy for a while. He’s a young man in a hurry. But I’m not sure this is going to go the way he thinks it is. _________________________ "Age does not bring wisdom. Often it merely changes simple stupidity into arrogant conceit.

NHRA hit it. Teach the history of it, there’s value in that. Don’t try to practice in the classroom. I guess I’m agreeing with the bad idea folks here. 10 years to retirement! Just waiting! | |||

There’s not a chance Oklahoma public schools will be teaching the Bible or Ten Commandments as anything other than historical context, just like the Code of Hammurabi or The Laws of the Twelve Tables. Maybe they’ll teach The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People like the public schools in my county do starting in kindergarten. It’s actually one of the reasons my three kids have spent only two months in public school combined. | |||

What a load of crap. Mandating Bible study? Stick to math, science, and reading. I’ll handle religious beliefs at home as I see fit. I don’t want the Bible, Vedas, Torah, Qur’an or any religious text study being mandated in any public school. If you want it as an elective go right ahead. If you want daily religious study at school, find a private school to accommodate you. How did this idiot get elected? | |||

Sounds like they're running out of real stuff to teach kids, and are trying to stretch out their time. Can't have their schooling be complete before 18, think of the grifters in charge!
