A group of parents of public school students, teachers, and
ministers are fighting to stop schools being forced to
incorporate the Bible into lessons
They are suing State Superintendent Ryan Walters, Oklahoma's
top education official, to prevent him forcing the lesson
plans on students in grades 5 through 12.
The lawsuit filed with the Oklahoma Supreme Court also
asked the court to stop the state spending $3 million
to buy Bibles in support of Walters' mandate.
. . .
I agree with them.
If a school is gonna be pushing religion(s) then
it has to push a BUNCH of religions - Islam, Hindu,
Zoroastrian, 'Satanism', All Hail Woden One-Eye. It
also needs to push the idea that religions are BS.
NO favorites !!! That's the (wise) gist of the
1st amendment.
I can *understand* the desire to insert more
morality/ethics for the kiddies.

This isn't about morality or ethics. It's about
establishment of religion, pure and simple. It's about
trading the constitution for theocracy.

To SOME, yes.
However, overall, I'd say it's justified concerns,
like survival concerns, over the "Clockwork Orange"
generation.
Pop religion is an easy go-to.
IMHO, don't look TOO hard for Vast Konspiracies.
A FEW are on that track, but they are a few.
Didja see what I said about "evangelical" atheism ?

I can *understand* the desire to insert more
morality/ethics for the kiddies. They really
HAVE become nasty/dangerous of late. No "greater"
paradigm, well, just doesn't work well for real-
world humans. Sometimes a Big Lie is more useful
than Truth/perspective ... sorry.
BUT, as we've seen from the Inquisition to ISIS,
going TOO far into the Lie also has serious
down-sides. There's a kinder and gentler (and
safer) middle ground in there somewhere.
-
IMHO, revive "ethics". To many it SEEMS "religious",
but really isn't. More "empathetic", universal.
Way back in the 60s, I was probably the only kid
in school known to be un-religious (despite the
cold-war push against 'godless commies'). Thing
is I was never persecuted for it. Why ? Because
I realized early on that un-belief should never
be "evangelical" - otherwise it BECOMES a de-facto
religion for all intents and purposes, and with
all the same negatives. They wanna believe in 'X',
fine, no prob, let 'em, their right, don't
denigrate. People "believe" in all sorts of stuff.
Oh, also wasn't a 'commie', nothing against the
imperialist football jocks or biz or such. Guess
proto-MAGA went back quite a way :-)

a film.
