15 People Are Reacting To Oklahoma's New Rule Requiring Public Schools To Teach From The Bible, And Almost Everyone Thinks It's A Bad IdeaOklahoma kids will learn that the Bible and the Ten Commandments are foundational for western civilization. The left is upset, but one cannot rewrite history."As a teacher, I find this horrific. I am Christian, but I know I am not qualified to teach about the Bible or the Ten Commandments.
"These teachers don't have Masters of Divinity. They are ill-equipped to handle any questions children may have. And besides all that, whatever happened to the Bible literally saying, 'I do not permit a woman to preach?' Is the implication that we will no longer have any female teachers? There are so many ways this was not thought out that I HAVE to assume the man who made this law has spent hardly any time in the Scriptures whatsoever.
"First and foremost, a separation of church and state must be maintained. But even as a Christian, I have a concern the Bible would be misrepresented by misguided and unqualified teachers who do not know how to thoughtfully incorporate it into their curriculum.""I'm so stunned that, given the educational struggles already going on in that state, they choose to focus on THIS.
"It is really not too difficult to teach children about religion while explaining that some people believe x, and others believe y, and we can disagree, etc. Part of that teaching should be about how to disagree respectfully. So I think the worst bit is how it says 'teach from the bible,' not 'teach about the bible.'""What better foundation than the Holy word for kids to build on? I agree with the superintendent in making this decision.
