    Headline read in another, possibly more infuriating way: Oklahoma is trying to use public money to pay Trump…

    If they can put Bibles in classrooms, I’m putting drag queens in their churches.

      I definitely would be a lot more likely to attend a church’s services if they put on regular drag shows. Make it a drag brunch and I’ll be there every Sunday.

        I would pay money to watch a drag reenactment of bible stories that would be so funny

          Give me a drag version of Jesus Christ Superstar. I cannot imagine it being anything less than pure magic

    Fuck the Trump part.

    Why are there Bibles in classrooms?

    Are they adding the Quran and Hebrew, Hindu, Buddhist writing, too, as a broad background in world religions?

    lol obviously no.

        The Trump bit is an important part.

        State sponsored religion is a more important part. “What are the right specifications for a bible in schools?” isn’t the right question.

          It’s a right question. It’s just not the first question.

          Question 1: Why are there Bibles required to be in Oklahoma classrooms when that’s a clear First Amendment violation?

          Question 2: Why are these Bibles mandated to be the ones that, even when you reduce it to Christianity, only some Christians consider to be accurate?

          Question 3: Why is this going to fund the Trump campaign?

            If you’re ever arguing over “what should the Bible be”, they already won.

            There isn’t a legitimate scenario where you can ask it.

              That’s not arguing “what should the Bible be.” It’s asking why it should be distributed, why it does not represent people it claims to represent and why it is generating revenue.

              It has nothing to do with the contents of the Bible itself. Those are essential questions when it comes to American politics.

      Well it just needs to be a King James Quran including the declaration of Independence to meet the criteria. Oh, and leather bound because apparently Oklahoma schools have some budget to burn.

      As of September 2024, the average salary for a school teacher in Oklahoma is $48,285 per year

      I bet these teachers are thrilled for the nice covers.

          would hate to have to buy new bibles the next time the school gets shot up

      you don’t want to smoke the trump bible.

      it’s probably made in china and contaminated with shitloads of toxins and heavy metals.

    We’re now at the point where that massive piece of shit of a man has committed so many crimes, he’ll be dead and smelted down into thousands of smaller and more manageable pieces of shit before we ever see the end of the lawsuits he has currently, and has coming.

    What a strategy….

    Do so much crime, that an 1st world country’s entirely system of law is burdens beyond breaking from just trying to keep up with your felonies.

      Also helps to be rich and powerful so that the system is already set up to favor you over anyone who isn’t.

    Unless kids have changed drastically in the past few decades, these books will be vandalized within days. We can only hope.
