Oklahoma Bible mandate challenged in Court

[murph63]

Correct. Teaching is not the same as promoting.

Except it kinda is, and kinda becomes that.

I'm thinking about the USA as it exists in 2026. I don't know what you are thinking, but in America 2026 the Religious Right is in ascendence. They've eliminated legal abortions in many states and are now coming after birth control, same sex marriage etc.

If you think that what is going on in Oklahoma is going to be some milquetoast survey of religious thought I've got a bridge to sell you.


That's the reality. And you are, as per usual, dishonestly covering for your faith. You whitewash the religious right's aggressive tactics which are destroying America.

That has nothing to do with religious studies classes in public colleges and highschool AP classes.

Those are the decisions of five men on the Supreme Court. That's a political question, not an educational question.

I would oppose any attempt to censor religious studies classes at the State-supported University of California. A college undergraduate has the right to take a class on Buddhism if they desire.

Any attempt to censor these classes will be considered Authoritarian by me
