@@Pacifica74 I was baptized and born again in a Baptist church at 10 years old. Our pastor would call all of us children to the front pew and scream at us until he was spitting all over us and telling us we were all going to hell! When I was old enough to leave home I would never go to a Baptist or Nazareth church again. Thankfully I married a man who's family was of a Methodist Minister Dr. John Paul Stafford III from Chicago. I remember the first time I attended a Methodist church and the minister talked about Jesus and forgiveness, and I cried. I had never heard this frame of mind. I am 61 and still a Methodist because they teach of the love of Jesus Christ and his forgiveness. My son is the 5th John Paul Stafford and a Methodist minister. He also holds a Bachelors in Biology and Geology.
Every year their majority shrinks. This is the desperate move of a dying people with childish and feeble superstitions who won't accept change. I suspect I will live long enough to see their irrelevancy.
I am an educator and Oklahoma resident. My undergraduate degrees are in philosophy, theology, and German language & literature. I also have an MBA. I worked in industry for 20 years. I graduated from a Catholic institution with my baccalaureate degrees and a state school for my masters degree. I teach mathematics. I would be one of the most likely teachers in my district to be tapped to develop this Bible curriculum given my education, expertise, and life experiences. I do not want to teach the Bible in public schools. I want to teach mathematics, where we work on logic problems, algebra, arithmetic, and statistics. I teach all this from a neutral standpoint and don't bring politics, religion, or socioeconomic issues (like capitalism vs socialism or communism) into the classroom. That's what you want for your children, correct? If I am compelled to teach the Bible, I am teaching it from a Catholic perspective, including the deuterocanonical books (the apocrypha) as well as the logic behind the ever virgin status of Mary, papal infallibility, the supremacy of the Roman pontiff (pope) and the arguments that debunk Protestant thinking. Do you want that? Because that is how I will teach the material. Your children will be indoctrinated to be Catholic and to reject protestant heresies. If you are cool with that, then let's go! If not, keep the Bible out of public education and keep it where it belongs, in Sunday schools, CCD, Bible camps, and at home with families who can adequately teach their perspectives and faith traditions to their children. Which do you prefer?
Non-Christians don't have the opportunity to learn about the bible if it's not in the school. Many people in Oklahoma have athiest or agnostic families. In-class might be the only place a student hears scripture in their daily life.
We need to ask the Assemblies of God if they have any concerns about their kid’s Baptist teacher telling them that they are going to hell when they get to the part about the evidence of the Holy Spirit through the gift of tongues? Was that a run on sentence?
@@dunzodonaldsI like the part where Lots daughters got him drunk and had sec with him. That’s the first lesson I think they should teach. What do you think?
@@AliceObscura The “logic” behind Mary’s virginity. She got knocked up by somebody else other than her elderly husband Joseph. Then she lied about it, made up the god thing. Jesus isn’t magical. He was just a rabbi with some liberal ideas. Do you teach possibility vs probability in mathematics? If so, do you think it’s more probable that Mary got pregnant as a direct result of intercourse, just like nearly every woman since the dawn of time, or do you think it’s more reasonable that an extra-dimensional entity that is himself, his son, and a ghost, knocked her up just so he could kill himself?
This will be struck down in court easily. What a lousy and irresponsible waste of time for a guy in that position. He can’t actually be that stupid to think that this is a good idea or constitutionally viable, can he?
So all the sudden you pretend that the constitution matters or only in situations where it benefits your agenda sthu lib and go worry about how you’re candidate is going to win the presidency again, it’s not gonna happen we are taking back our country one small piece at at a time including putting Christian values back in our youths lives and making it part of education.
Recent Supreme Court decisions are what is making this possible. Louisiana recently announced they are putting the Ten Commandments in every classroom. More to come.
Ryan Walter’s is an appointed employee of the state of Oklahoma and should have no authority to to make law which is essentially what this is ie ordering the Bible into every class room and further ordering that every teacher will will use it to present a lesson everyday. I would that citizens see this for what it is and call for this order to be rescinded and for this questionable conduct to be reviewed at Ryan Walter’s next performance review. He has definitely usurped his authority and obviously did not consider the full impact of what he was doing. Stand up Oklahoma!
I'm a Christian and I strongly disagree with this decision. We need to keep the separation between church and state. It's the basis for religious freedom. The Bible is very often misinterpreted and its meaning twisted. Teaching it incorrectly is much worse than not teaching it at all. Let parents teach the Bible to their kids at home, if they choose to do so. It's not the government's job to interpret the Bible.
Well the 10 Commandments teach thal shall not kill. Let’s hope that your children learn this at an early age not to kill. What I don’t understand, why is it so wrong to learn about God & Christ. What are you so afraid of. If anything you should want kids to know the difference between right & wrong because most parents aren’t teaching that to there kids. Then the Murderous kids running the streets because they don’t know the difference between right & wrong. The news proves that as dose all the Forensic Files shows they have on Netflix & HULU. And you are a Christian but don’t want Christ message to reach all 4 corners of the earth. To me there’s something wrong with your beliefs in God & Christ
Totally agree! This is one step further to the USA becoming a dictatorial country where religious freedom will be a thing of the past. This is foretold in the prophecies of the Bible (rightly interpreted, i.e. by letting the Bible explain itself concerning the symbolism that is used) in the book of Revelation, chapter 13 concerning the 2nd beast power that has begun as a lamb and will end speaking like a dragon, enforcing laws that will force people to worship on Sunday or loose their place in society (not allowed anymore to buy or sell) and, ultimately, be executed. The good new is that God will intervene before that happens when Christ will return in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory!
Combination of church and state will soon lead to persecution because some of the laws will deprive some sect of beliefs their freedom of worship which will lead to bloodshed. Combination of church and state always threan freedom of conscience.
Separation of Church and State is the law of the land. It's not that the superintendent and other Republicans are that religious. Their only purpose of doing these moves is to isolate and exclude Muslims.

This is ridiculous. You can’t teach the Bible in schools. Bless you plan to teach the Koran, Buddhism, Islam, Shintoism, and every other major religion. And you certainly can’t teach it as sacred. This guy needs to go. Make sure parents bring in copies of the Koran and Buddhism etc. to classrooms and maybe then they will see how stupid this move is.
Genesis 11:1-9, there can only be one truth, one God, one Christ. If you would read the Bible, it makes perfect sense. Everyone who was on the earth was scattered and started there own religion.
@@m.mitchell1825 if you teach the Bible as history it becomes tribalism. And all that sodomy and concubines and fathers lying with their daughters??? You have to consider the Bible as porn. Not to mention the violence. The Koran isn’t as pornographic as the Bible.
@@mcintoshamps2550 the Bible is full of pornography and violence, tribalism, wars, and torture. It’s not a book that belongs in any school. And it is hardly the truth. It was written by old men over centuries. Patriarch kills and that is what it teaches.
This is going to be disastrous! 1947, first case concerning separation of church and state; supporting bussing for children to private religious schools and declaring that states were required to provide the same guarantees of religious freedom as the federal government 1948, banning religious instruction in public schools 1952, allowing religious instruction off school property during regular school hours 1962, banning teacher-led prayer from public schools 1963, banning Bible-reading and the recital of the Lord's Prayer in public schools 1973, allowing state funding for textbooks and teachers' salaries in religious schools; creating the Lemon test 1987, declared the Creation Act invalid, which had mandated the teaching of Creation if Evolution was taught 1989, banning religious displays depicting only one religion 1992, banning prayers given by clergy as a part of an official public school graduation ceremony.
Flags are free speech…….same amendment different clause…pick up a pocket guide of the Constitution…it’s not a long document……read the First Amendment…..because like this dangerous tool…..you have no idea what you are talking about…..
@@orangefield2308 You can't compare the two. A rainbow flag won't make someone gay or trans or bi, and it's used as a symbol of acceptance...but the bible can absolutely make someone a bigot and has been used as an excuse to enslave others and foment countless wars. Please keep trying to compare the two...it's mildly entertaining lol
Will they teach ALL of it? I would not want a child to read that vile tome that advocates slavery and genocide among other things. Tell me you want your kid to read Ezekiel 23:20?
Let’s not forget what the great apostle Paul said, “As in all the churches of the saints, 34 the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. 35 And if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church.” Now get vac in the kitchen woman and make me a sandwich.
You are thinking of bondservents. Not slaves. The English often says slave, but real slaves don't get given money & property after they've fulfilled a contract to pay off a debt. There's no calls for genocide.
@@inukithesavage828 No. I’m not thinking of “bond servants”. The OT describes two sets of laws for slavery. One for Gentiles and one for Hebrews. Please educate yourself on this. It’s quite easy to search this. I don’t have the time or patience.
He is a ticking time bomb. This guy is going to cost the people so much in legal fees for his illegal actions. Walters and Stitt are one and the same, they both push their personal beliefs and agenda on the citizens.

This pisses me off, I am a aethist and have nothing against Christians at all, I respect them as everyone has a right to believe in what they wish. This pisses me off knowing they are forcing a religion onto students who have every right to chose what they believe in and this man is talking it away. This goes against the amendments.
I don’t know how I got through the public school system w out learning about a Christian based Bible that has been written & rewritten according to individual interpretation a million times since the original version. Oh wait…I know how. It was called church. You know, back when there was separation of church & government. In the olden days. And yet I still obtained my High School Diploma. Now religion is forced upon the public school system & so it begins. You can’t get the funding to have a class for each individual religion all in one public school to give a show of equal rights. There will no longer be general Public schools. There will be public schools for each individual religion. The church’s will be individually responsible for the funding of their own schools. And all will be neatly separated & divided. Segregation made to look lawful & pretty. And everyone will have school dress code with a nice little badge signifying their religion. Religion will eventually rule the lands & determine new laws. Not government. It seems history has not taught us that much after all if it’s going to send us backwards. We know who is going after the popular vote. Wonder who the new minority will be. Homeschool is looking better & better. And if the government is so hellbent on history lessons..is there going to be anything special in there for native Americans who founded these lands long before they were founded & labeled, “America” by “Christians”?
Lmao...thank you Kansas! Unfortunately these Okla hs graduates thoroughly immersed in dogma and doctrine, but lacking critical thinking skills...a strapped on sidearm...will be wandering into Kansas seeking employment. Becoming homeless, witless nomads.
Well, the Constitution has pretty much been twisted, ignored, or used as a doormat so, I'm in favor of doing something else like Bibles and Christian flags in classrooms rather than LGBTQ books and rainbow flags.
@@Mojo32 if you want to split hairs- commenter's "This" can refer to Walters' order. "Separation of church and state" is the desired result. It is not in the Constitution. The clause is.
@@maskon1724 actually if you understood that what the Bible was or how to read it, then you would know that the view on the flood by some of the early church fathers was highly disputed with ecclesiastical writers like Origen believing the story to be allegorical. If we look at the Old Testament in its original language and how language was used then it’s easier to understand that the narrative most likely meant an abnormally large flood that cover much of the region of Asia Minor. You can find a more encompassing explanation under a guy named Inspiring Philosophy on UA-cam. Again the Bible talks about real people(both old and New Testament), real places( old and New Testament), and real events( old and new testaments) that are either backed up by outside sources from around the same time period or archaeological evidence.
@@Noname19992 the Bible isn’t a historical document just because it’s featured a few real places and a few real people. Where’s the evidence of Noah’s arc carrying one of every animal? Twisting facts makes it a fictional story.
These assholes refuse too because they cherry pick only what fits their narrative. You could read them the constitution till your blue in the face and they will still deny the facts
Turn our public schools into Christian Madrasas? Absolutely delusional. Go to your place of worship for religious education. Absolutely not in public schools. Insanity to even consider this.
Requiring teaching of dogma, and doctrine will prohibit teacher developed (or adopted) curriculum. Dogma inhibits critical thinking, encourages compliance and adoption without question. Possibly acceptable in Oklahoma, but don't allow these "uneducated" citizens to roam the nation with nothing but a diploma...and a sidearm!
So which one? KING James, Ethiopian, Catholic, Coptic, one of the thousand different modernized ones. Often with different interpretations and even different messages..Even the Mormons have their own altered to some decree King James..who is deciding which version and whose deciding which of the millions of different view points and commentaries will be used to relate what they "believe" is actually being said..Better include teaching Latin and Greek if your planning on teaching that properly ...wow..well..I guess this means we start eliminating finally, the Washington chopped down a cherry tree garbage some stilll teach..Can't be teaching made up stories and lies if we are teaching the BIBLE right? Columbus is going by the way side for elementary too right..That whole lie of a story..Guess a mighty change in the entire curriculum especially in grade schools is coming to Oklahoma to get rid of lies, tall tales and fantasies taught as history right? As a start..No lies of any kind right?
"So which one?" That right there says it all to how stupid this decision is. Unless they of course somehow find a way to include all of them which i doubt 🤣
Who’s paying for them? What translation? Old and New Testament? What about when reading the passages in the Bible where it talks about the teachings on the Holy Spirit? I’m guessing the largest denomination in our state will be fine having a spirit filled teacher who believes in evidence through the uttering of unknown languages. I feel like beating my damn head against a freaking concrete wall full of nails!!
The problem is that there are so many different interpretations of the Bible and its meanings that you can't just hand a Bible to a teacher and tell them to teach from it. So then you have to develop a curriculum. Now I'm curious who has their pockets in any Christian curriculum companies? That will be a gold mine if every school district in OK will have to purchase
I’m an atheist. I’m happy to teach kids about the Bible. I’ll create a bunch of kids with critical thinking skills who have the knowledge of what religious documents and myths were borrowed and cobbled together to create it.
It's been the religious experience in my family (several denominations Christianity) that God endows us with a heart to guide our faith (not unlike as one would use a compass) and a powerful critically thinking mind, allowing us to side step hazards and pitfalls as we navigate in a complex and treacherous world. I believe God would be pleased by Mr. Walters' heart, but would be inconsolable at the choice for him to not use his God given brain.

I'd start with all the uncomfortable things the Bible teaches. Like the fact God condones slavery and genocide : that would be a great one to teach in history class. I'd teach how the Bible gets the creation story in the wrong order in science class. I'd preach the story of how God answered a curse from Elisha and 2 bears came down and mauled 42 kids to death because they were calling him names. I'm sure the christo-fascist parents that are cool with the Bible stories could learn a thing or two from little Johnnie's classroom sermon lesson if he takes notes and brings them home to Ma and Pa.
Looks like Mr. Walters will be in trouble with the Oklahoma constitution. There is a clause saying no money can be spent to promote any system of religion, among other things. I haven't even touched on the US Constitution. Maybe one group can go through state court and another group can go through federal court. Break out the popcorn!
This guy is getting too much airtime. He's Oklahoma's distraction for what is really important, like rising food prices, rent, taxes and insurance. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing.
i pray to our heavenly FATHER THE ALL MIGHTY GOD OF ALL CREATIONS, THAT U WOULD BECOME OUR NEXT GOVERNOR OF OKLAHOMA 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I'M PRAYING 😢i love what u r doing, it's the right thing finally, it's been a long time coming i thank God for a man like you!!!
Keep all that in church. This goes directly against the U.S. Constitution. Our forefathers left the Monarchy of England and established the United States of America as a country where all are free to practice any religion they choose, and to not be force fed someone else's beliefs. You can't have freedom of religion without freedom FROM religion. Separation of Church and State is the law of the land! 🇺🇸 U.S. Constitution; 1st Amendment - "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
We really welcome Mr.Ryan , nowadays US has forget why God bless this country, children should know Bible, it's not only real History it's the living word of God.
If we have to teach the bible in schools, then we have to teach kids about hinduism, or islam, he'll even thr greek and nores myth, Andrew Jackson was right
He'd better be prepared to also teach the Quran and the Torah then, as he has a Notice of Nondiscrimination on his website stating that he will not discriminate on the basis of religion.
Citation needed where did republicans get the idea America was founded on jewdao Christian values. Why not allow the Quran too the 5 pillars of Islam are good values?
I hope they do teach kids the bible how else are they going to learn that Jesus is a false messiah since he promised and prophesied the coming of the son of man before the disciples generation passed away (Matthew chapter 10, 16, and 24 to start). Deuteronomy 18:20-22 warn us against people like Jesus who fail to get their words right.
Jesus is Lord Romans 10:9 To God be the Glory! 🔥YAHWEH🔥 2 Peter 1:16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. 👀 Psalm 20:6 Now I know that the LORD rescues his anointed king. He will answer him from his holy heaven and rescue him by his great power. Isaiah 42:1 “Here is My Servant, whom I uphold, My Chosen One, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will bring justice to the nations. Galatians 3:29 And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you. Genesis 15:5 “Now look to the heavens and count the stars, if you are able.” Then He told him, “So shall your offspring be.” Isaiah 46:9-10 Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, 'My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please. ' 🕊️THE TEN COMMANDMENTS🕊️ Jeremiah 32:38 They will be my people, and I will be their God. 1 Timothy 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; Amen.
I’m religious as all hell and even I can say this is the most ignorant thing to do. YOU CANT FORCE THE LORD ON PEOPLE. Jesus was never about you have to. It was a choice to follow a choice to love him he gave us free will so he wouldn’t have drones as followers.
Recent Supreme Court decisions are what is making this possible. It is no longer unconstitutional, because it never was in the first place. Louisiana recently authorized putting the 10 Commandments in every classroom. They know what they’re doing and case law is now in their favor. More to come.
And the Louisiana government is already being sued for it. They don’t know what they’re doing. They’re just arrogant and don’t care. Christians are largely that way…everybody needs to hear the good news and be “saved.” I wish they’d all drink Kool-aid like the Jonestown cult. The world would be better off.
The First Amendment's Establishment Clause prohibits the government from making any law “respecting an establishment of religion.” This clause not only forbids the government from establishing an official religion, but also prohibits government actions that unduly favor one religion over another.-cornell law
Wow! I’m a Christian and even I don’t agree with everything that’s happening in this state. I wouldn’t want my child learning about other religions except in a religion class. No single belief system should ever exist in the classroom. Shame on you!
@luthercolbert8080 we have freedom of religion for a reason. It is irresponsible and flagrantly offensive to put the bible into public schools. That's basically the government saying hey I condone this religion, but all others are trash. That don't sit right with me. First, you have to prove your religion is the one that's true versus the other hundreds of religions, many way older than yours. Then it could be considered, and if you say the bible is evidence, then you are beyond stupid.
Whos word? Did you hear it from him/her? The book was written by old grumpy men over 100 years after Jesus died. None of them were there for the supposed words. If you want bible in your education system then send them to a christian (or whatever) school. You have no right to infringe your belief into those who do not want it or believe in it. And to bring forward a book which is studied and honored by the same people who have a history of genocide, abusing the young, and corruptions. If that is what your bible teaches you, keep it out of the eyes of the innocent.
Then get a voucher and go to a Christian school if you want! We, the millions of people who worship differently, or don't worship at all, DON'T WANT to be taught from YOUR scripture. What is so hard to understand?

The Bible is very often misinterpreted and its meaning twisted. Teaching it incorrectly is much worse than not teaching it at all. Let parents teach the Bible to their kids at home, if they choose to do so. It's not the government's job to interpret the Bible.
Well the 10 Commandments teach thal shall not kill. Let’s hope that your children learn this at an early age not to kill. What I don’t understand, why is it so wrong to learn about God & Christ. What are you so afraid of. If anything you should want kids to know the difference between right & wrong because most parents aren’t teaching that to there kids. Then the Murderous kids running the streets because they don’t know the difference between right & wrong. The news proves that as dose all the Forensic Files shows they have on Netflix & HULU. And you are a Christian but don’t want Christ message to reach all 4 corners of the earth. To me there’s something wrong with your beliefs in God & Christ
Totally agree! This is one step further to the USA becoming a dictatorial country where religious freedom will be a thing of the past. This is foretold in the prophecies of the Bible (rightly interpreted, i.e. by letting the Bible explain itself concerning the symbolism that is used) in the book of Revelation, chapter 13 concerning the 2nd beast power that has begun as a lamb and will end speaking like a dragon, enforcing laws that will force people to worship on Sunday or loose their place in society (not allowed anymore to buy or sell) and, ultimately, be executed. The good new is that God will intervene before that happens when Christ will return in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory!
So you want the Islamist to take over ? Brainwash our kids and convert??
Combination of church and state will soon lead to persecution because some of the laws will deprive some sect of beliefs their freedom of worship which will lead to bloodshed. Combination of church and state always threan freedom of conscience.

I don’t know how I got through the public school system w out learning about a Christian based Bible that has been written & rewritten according to individual interpretation a million times since the original version. Oh wait…I know how. It was called church. You know, back when there was separation of church & government. In the olden days. And yet I still obtained my High School Diploma. Now religion is forced upon the public school system & so it begins. You can’t get the funding to have a class for each individual religion all in one public school to give a show of equal rights. There will no longer be general Public schools. There will be public schools for each individual religion. The church’s will be individually responsible for the funding of their own schools.
And all will be neatly separated & divided. Segregation made to look lawful & pretty. And everyone will have school dress code with a nice little badge signifying their religion. Religion will eventually rule the lands & determine new laws. Not government. It seems history has not taught us that much after all if it’s going to send us backwards. We know who is going after the popular vote. Wonder who the new minority will be. Homeschool is looking better & better. And if the government is so hellbent on history lessons..is there going to be anything special in there for native Americans who founded these lands long before they were founded & labeled, “America” by “Christians”?

@@maskon1724 actually if you understood that what the Bible was or how to read it, then you would know that the view on the flood by some of the early church fathers was highly disputed with ecclesiastical writers like Origen believing the story to be allegorical. If we look at the Old Testament in its original language and how language was used then it’s easier to understand that the narrative most likely meant an abnormally large flood that cover much of the region of Asia Minor. You can find a more encompassing explanation under a guy named Inspiring Philosophy on UA-cam. Again the Bible talks about real people(both old and New Testament), real places( old and New Testament), and real events( old and new testaments) that are either backed up by outside sources from around the same time period or archaeological evidence.
@@Noname19992 the Bible isn’t a historical document just because it’s featured a few real places and a few real people. Where’s the evidence of Noah’s arc carrying one of every animal? Twisting facts makes it a fictional story.

Turn our public schools into Christian Madrasas? Absolutely delusional. Go to your place of worship for religious education. Absolutely not in public schools. Insanity to even consider this.
Requiring teaching of dogma, and doctrine will prohibit teacher developed (or adopted) curriculum. Dogma inhibits critical thinking, encourages compliance and adoption without question. Possibly acceptable in Oklahoma, but don't allow these "uneducated" citizens to roam the nation with nothing but a diploma...and a sidearm!
So which one? KING James, Ethiopian, Catholic, Coptic, one of the thousand different modernized ones. Often with different interpretations and even different messages..Even the Mormons have their own altered to some decree King James..who is deciding which version and whose deciding which of the millions of different view points and commentaries will be used to relate what they "believe" is actually being said..Better include teaching Latin and Greek if your planning on teaching that properly ...wow..well..I guess this means we start eliminating finally, the Washington chopped down a cherry tree garbage some stilll teach..Can't be teaching made up stories and lies if we are teaching the BIBLE right? Columbus is going by the way side for elementary too right..That whole lie of a story..Guess a mighty change in the entire curriculum especially in grade schools is coming to Oklahoma to get rid of lies, tall tales and fantasies taught as history right? As a start..No lies of any kind right?
"So which one?" That right there says it all to how stupid this decision is. Unless they of course somehow find a way to include all of them which i doubt 🤣
Who’s paying for them? What translation? Old and New Testament? What about when reading the passages in the Bible where it talks about the teachings on the Holy Spirit? I’m guessing the largest denomination in our state will be fine having a spirit filled teacher who believes in evidence through the uttering of unknown languages.
I feel like beating my damn head against a freaking concrete wall full of nails!!

The problem is that there are so many different interpretations of the Bible and its meanings that you can't just hand a Bible to a teacher and tell them to teach from it. So then you have to develop a curriculum. Now I'm curious who has their pockets in any Christian curriculum companies? That will be a gold mine if every school district in OK will have to purchase
I’m an atheist. I’m happy to teach kids about the Bible. I’ll create a bunch of kids with critical thinking skills who have the knowledge of what religious documents and myths were borrowed and cobbled together to create it.
It's been the religious experience in my family (several denominations Christianity) that God endows us with a heart to guide our faith (not unlike as one would use a compass) and a powerful critically thinking mind, allowing us to side step hazards and pitfalls as we navigate in a complex and treacherous world. I believe God would be pleased by Mr. Walters' heart, but would be inconsolable at the choice for him to not use his God given brain.
