I guess you would comply with that if you were to compare the bible to other religious scriptures everytime it is talked about and show how they influenced society. I don’t see why this should be not allowed.
Edit: This was meant in a malicious compliance kind of way. In no way I am saying that this is a great law.
You should read the article. They already teach about the Bible in such contexts. This directive would require every classroom to have a copy of the Bible and find ways to integrate it into their lesson plans, whether it was relevant or not
Then he made the sea of cast metal. It was round, ten cubits from brim to brim, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.

I’m not a teacher and never have been, but isn’t part of the point of malicious compliance to make it a complicated matter of intent as to whether someone is breaking the rules in a way that can be punished? It forces the leadership to make “because I said so” rulings that start to raise the question of the validity of the leadership that has placed the unreasonable rules in place originally.
None of that works when “because I say so” is supported by a majority of the electorate. I’m not sure where the numbers come up exactly on Walters and this specific issue, but the Oklahoma electorate is not gonna be as clean cut against this as you might hope.
In the article it does not say that the bible has to be portrayed positively so I guess you could look for examples of how Christians misuse what is written to justify horrible actions. There are probably also enough examples of how current (repulican) politicians are actively acting in anti christian ways while claiming to be following god.
It is already being taught along other myths in the context of their impacts on society without teaching them one was correct. This law was changing that to requiring indoctrination.
In college I took a 100-level western ancient literature course that examined the origins of the text and sources of the bible. Simple facts did fantastic work of dismantling the ‘infallibility’ of the work. Can’t imagine a faster way to make a generation of atheists.
Because in the goddamn US Constitution it makes a point about separation of church and state. Also what if there’s someone who doesn’t believe in your version of God or if the invisible sky wizard isn’t real.l, you intolerant fool.
I’m atheist as hell bud. I’m saying any religion, in my opinion, is mythology at best. I was absolutely taught mythology in world history in 7th/8th grade and loved it. Didn’t make me start praying to Zeus outside of when I drop a dumbbell on my foot.
Quick edit, still learning my UI for kbin and realize you weren’t replying to me… I think. I agree “religion” shouldn’t be taught in school, except as mythology.

Malicious compliance mode activated: hey kids, today we’re learning about cults! Get out your Bibles!
Malicious compliance is likely to get your license suspended or revoked though.

Well as soon as you start talking about enforcement of anything, you do run into the captured judiciary, which means we’re probably screwed.

If it has any place in public education it’d be alongside other mythology lessons. It’s absolutely not being taught that way under these rules.
