This is such a violation of constitutional rights. Parents should sue their, and in particular this guys, ass off. This guy talking as if the bible is a history lesson couldn't be further from the truth. And the USA being build on the foundation of the bible. I am not a US citizen but even I know that the so called founding fathers were very specific about the religion aspect and that it is essential to have a separation of church and state.

Oklahoma ranks 49 in education. They have much bigger issues. Well, they have a facist running the education system in this very state. 

Also, which version of the bible will they use to teach? There are different ones. What about muslim or jewish students, what about students without any affilliation to any religion. Will they be forced to take part in those "history" lessons? Again a clear violation of their constitutional rights. If teachers in Oklahoma had any backbone they would quit their jobs collectively. We will see what happens then.

 Accurate !!

It’s shameful and it needs to be stopped.

I hope it gets tons of outrage and it’s forced to be reversed

Yet so many are worrying about Biden being fragile and old ( which we all know he is ) yet look at what is already happening and will get worse if this Trump GOP get back in.  If Americans can’t see the writing on the wall re democracy and human rights ( already health rights have been taken off women after 50 years in some states ) then they are burying their heads in the sand. Democracy is so easy to lose and so hard to get back.

You make a great point.

But both are problems.

There are far bigger problems happening in America outside of who is president.

But none of them take away the fact Biden doesn’t have a clue what planet he’s on half the time and that is not appropriate for the highest seat in the country.

Yes but is Biden going to take away human rights, destroy democracy, support Putin ( who is currently doing pacts with North Korea), support Russia over Ukraine, control the Supreme Court with ultra right wing religious conspiracy theorists - the list goes on. Just look at the conspiracy theorists who are in the current GOP like Marjorie Taylor Greene - do people want idiotic nut jobs like her having power. That is what could happen. Biden is not going to damage democracy and is not a fascist. Trump is - that is the reality.

I absolutely agree!

And the fact that Trump will no doubt win becuase the democratic leader Biden is too old and delicate to hold a coherent debate to camera is almost laughable.

You just couldn’t write this stuff in a novel. They are literally handing it over to the Republican Party on a plate.

For the democrats to lose out becuase of that is pure insanity.

The alternative is horrific for all the reasons you have listed but the TV debates rely on the promotion of the suitability of the candidate that wants to be president.

And it is just proving Biden is anything but and I fear it will be this that swings the vote Trumps way.

I’m afraid Biden is the kiss of death now.

Closing this before it turns into another "Biden is too old Blah Blah Blah" fest like the other thread. Keep it there.
