So all of the educated teachers leave, the bigots take over, a smart jewish/musim/bhuddist/seventh day adventist/scientologist family move, they then sue each and every teacher that does not teach what ever the ....... faith believes in.

Screw them I would walk find a job in another state/country that is not being run by such backward thinking retards (and I do not use that word easily) American Taliban been calling it for years.

How fast would this law be repealed if parents of a Jewish or Muslim student sued a Christian teacher?

A few years ago, in my middle school media literacy class, I showed kids the official website of the Flat Earth Society. The focus of the lesson was on evaluating sources & examining claims, and I thought that this would be easy. One girl became clearly uncomfortable. She offered that she believed the Earth was not just flat, but square. With an angel in each corner. And she did not want to hear otherwise. Luckily the bell rang and class was over. But the next day, at the beginning of class, she stormed in, slammed her books down, got in my face, and told me that she was going to walk out if I was going to push that round Earth stuff again. It was the the last day of the course, so I just dropped it.

She didn't go to the administration to complain, but I'm SURE she went home and told her family about it.

Imagine if this law had been in place.

Surely this contravenes the separation of church and state?

In my opinion the Angry emoticon is nowhere near enough to cover my feelings and reactions to this piece Religiotard Dictatorship style action and outright religiotard push for TOTAL control of Education in the U.S.
somehow I sense that the U.s. will NOT need to concern itself with ASSUMED enemies from elsewhere but more likely with a War of Religion versus Freedom From Religious Oppression which is fast approaching it on ALL sides and from innumerable directions as well.

Can you say theocracy? I thought you could... There is no way this law would stand as constitutional except with the Roberts court, not any lower court at the federal level...

Sounds like Oklahoma needs a visit from a Clarence Darrow (or another visit from the Satanists). Teaching students something that may lead to them questioning a religious belief is not the fault of teachers and should not be prohibited. Students need to be able to learn about subjects which may disagree with certain religious teachings. Students will eventually make up their own minds about what they will believe.

With every passing day the US just keeps sinking further and further towards irrelevance. There’s no other way to say it……..this is Banana republic shit here.

Everything real in the entire effing world contradicts religion. The teachers will have to stand there and say nothing all day.

After the past couple if years and this type of insanity, there will be no teachers left.

A well-put view on education bills in Oklahoma, including SB1470 and other similar political and religious incursions --

HB2988
This one seeks to ban teachers from teaching ... “That one race is the unique oppressor in the institution of slavery,” and point three, “That another race is the unique victim in the institution of slavery,” made me wonder where he learned U.S. history. Were the oppressors green aliens and the oppressed purple smurfs? Of course white people were oppressors and Black people were oppressed.

Why teach religion at school at all!!!?
Damnn they're going backwards!!!

Religion is such a loose word, after all there are so many.

Possible NEW version of the Rodgers and Hammerstein's song, Oklahoma,
"OKLAHOMA, where winds have DRIED OUT Standridges brains,
and the bibles rule across the plains,"
Anyone fancy adding their ideas/verses, etc, please do.

This is very terrible situation for teachers. I was teaching about the solar system in my preschool class. So when I was explaining about the planets and their names, one of the child said " oh you are saying bad words" when I mentioned the name of the planet Uranus. So next morning the child's parents came to my classroom with an explosive actitud. They told me that their child said that I was teaching bad words in class. I explained that our theme for the week was about the solar system and the names of the planets. So they said "We are a very religious family and we don't teach our children that kind of stuff. So they did not bring their child back to my classroom.

That's fucking ridiculous!!! It's a pure fascist measure!!! What would be great to see is having two students with opposite beliefs to see how they would turn the situation around...

I agree, the only education anyone needs is given in the bubble. I know this as I am trying to understand Ultra-hyperbolic differential Geometry, and I find all I need to know about this in the chapter on extra-galactic travel, I think it is somewhere within Ezekiel.

This will ensure that only like minded religious teachers need apply to be teachers in their state. Interesting ploy...

If they truly wish to discard science, they should start by giving up all the benefits that science has brought them….
They can start by tossing out their cell phones and air conditioners…..

Insane practice in the heart of the Bible belt
