Shouldn’t schools be about facts not fiction?

Can they use a loophole to not teach about the contents of the book? Instead teach about the history of printing and book binding…. In China.

The thing i don’t like is that although Christians are supposed to spread the word of God, that aren’t supposed to shove it down people’s throats

This is real, but this is clickbait, and not the whole story. The state superintendent Ryan Walters has issued that classrooms must have a Bible and must teach from the Bible because it is part of what shaped America or some shit.
But also, county superintendents are pointing to an Oklahoma law that puts curriculum construction in the hands of the counties, which means the state superintendent cannot enforce what schools can or cannot teach.
Also also, the original requirements put forth by Walters required the Bibles be leatherbound, King James, AND specifically include the Constitution and Bill of Rights, of which there is only one existing Bible that fits all of those requirement – the Trump Bible.
His own financial department has undermined him though by claiming this unfairly rigs the vendor selection process, and also costs the state a heap more since normal Bibles can be obtained 66% cheaper without the required inclusion of the America papers, and have forced him to separate the requirements. Walters claims he wasn’t angling for a specific Bible to be purchased because “he didn’t know what vendors would apply,” but he has been a rabid supporter of Trump and very open about. If the state financial people hadn’t stepped in, this would have basically amounted to a state’s collected taxes to directly support a politician running for office.

When all the teachers decide to teach elsewhere, blame your state government majority.

It’s happening. America will soon be a corrupt religious state.

They only did this so that someone would sue and allow them to take this all the way to the Supreme Court.
A quick search shows that there is apparently a lawsuit has been filed and even recently updated to include the millions being spent on bibles for the classrooms.
They know this is unconstitutional. They’re trying to get that changed.

They should teach its a work of fiction, and highlight all the inconsistencies it has, along with all the killing, human sacrifice and destruction it has.
That would meet the law and perhaps make the kids question why?

The bible its a brilliant story. It’s got giants in it. Talking bushes. Floods. It was written 300 years after everything supposedly happened – what’s the validity of that etc

Hell, with savvy teachers and some malicious compliance, this will likely result in a lot more atheists.
