Oklahoma families, teachers and faith leaders file lawsuit to block Superintendent Ryan Walters’ Bible-education mandate​


OKLAHOMA CITY – More than 30 Oklahomans – including parents and children, public school teachers and faith leaders – today filed a lawsuit urging the Oklahoma Supreme Court to block state Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters’ mandate that all public schools incorporate the Bible into their curricula.

The 32 plaintiffs include 14 public school parents, four public school teachers and three faith leaders who object to Walters’ extremist agenda that imposes his personal religious beliefs on other people's children – in violation of Oklahomans’ religious freedom and the separation of church and state. The plaintiffs come from a variety of faith traditions, including Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian (U.S.A.) and United Church of Christ, and some identify as atheist, agnostic or nonreligious. Some are of Indigenous heritage, and some have family situations – such as LGBTQ+ members or children with special educational needs – that cause particular concerns around teaching the Bible in public schools, especially around bullying.

Shocking, something challenged in court?? What's this? It's so unusual for libtard's to run to libtard judges every time an anti-libtard measure is taken. I can't believe it. Well actually the democrats have run to the courts over 500 times since January 20th compared to 50 for Biden and 30 for Obama. Hmmm, I wonder if there's a pattern forming.

I believe this might be what normal people call the "Justice System". I'm sure in your world people run to the courts when everything is going well.

Welcome to America. Until recently we had a functioning judiciary.

Why are so many judgments overturned? The left’s lost too many voters to win elections and hold real power, so lucky for them, they’ve crammed the courts with brain-dead ideologues and activists to shove their batshit agenda down America’s throat or should I say prevent the will of the people from being implemented. Libtard democracy at its finest.

Deflection much?? 500 to 30. Let's not talk about how many have been overturned. More judges have had their bias shoved up their ass than ever before in the history of courts, it's not even close. I wonder why?

You cheered wildly :cheer: as your Messiah brought forward, and then lost case after case after case after case in his election 2020 lawsuits.

Rubbish. Kids were studying Latin and Greek in grade school by the 2nd and 3rd grades before the 'reforms' hit in the late 1960's and the dumbing down and grade inflation began. Just because a handful of tards might not be able to handle it doesn't require that everybody else be idiots as well.

College physics classes could have required us to read Newton's Principia because it is so classic and iconic.

But they don't. Know why?

That's right. Because in the interest of education, we weren't required to slog through Latin or any dense and archaic 16th century language. Instead we were given books written in contemporary English to learn about mechanics.

Because it isn't a history and language class, it's a physics class.

What a stupid attempt at rebuttal. Before the Dumbing Down, which you apparently approve of, we had to learn Greek and LAtin suffixes and prefixes as part of English studies.

I can see where you short bus types would have struggled with that, but then kids were allowed to drop out in 8th grade then and seek employment via hardship reasons, so you would have had options instead of dragging down the rest of the classes with dumbassery and confused whining. Learning those prefixes and suffixes was also a great aid in science classes, where they were used extensively in the scientific languages, especially subjects like biology . If you had ever taken any science courses you would have known that.

Nebulous assertions aren't convincing.

Name specific books elementary school children are required to read, and explain in your own words why you think they are so objectionable.

I don't have any problem with a comparative religious studies course being offered in middle school or high school.

Yes, and packing the libraries with faggot porn and grooming books. These are some very sick and psychotic vermin. Feeding them drugs and hormones and encouraging extreme sexual mutilations is another acceptable fashion with these amoral freaks.
 
Learning physics and chemistry can be easier with a base in Greek and Latin; such a background can lead to being generally able to tell what words means just by reading them and speed up the learning process considerably, and not just in science terminology but in several languages as well.

AI Overview



Physics uses common prefixes like
electro- (electricity), hydro- (water), and thermo- (heat) from Greek, and suffixes like -ic (relating to), -ion (state or action), and -oid (like) to describe phenomena. Prefixes such as kilo-, mega-, micro-, and nano- are crucial for SI units, modifying base units to represent large or small quantities.

Greek Prefixes & Suffixes

  • Thermo- (Greek: thermos): Heat. Example: Thermocouple, a device to measure temperature changes.

  • Photo- (Greek: photos): Light. Example: Photon, a particle of light.

  • Electro- (Greek: elektron): Electricity or amber. Example: Electromagnetism, the relationship between electricity and magnetism.

  • Hydro- (Greek: hydor): Water. Example: Hydropower, energy derived from water.

  • Chir- (Greek: cheir): Of the hands. Example: Chirality, a property of a molecule that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image.

  • Cosm- (Greek: kosmos): Universe, world. Example: Cosmic dust, particles found throughout the universe.

  • -oid (Greek: -oeidēs): Like, form. Example: Asteroid, a rocky body that is "star-like" in appearance.

  • Symmetry (Greek: symmetria): Measure together. Example: Symmetry, where the two halves of an object are identical.
Latin Prefixes & Suffixes


  • Sub- (Latin): Under or below. Example: Subatomic, referring to particles smaller than an atom.

  • Super- (Latin): Above or over. Example: Supernova, an exploding star that is incredibly bright.

  • Inter- (Latin): Between or among. Example: Interstellar, existing between or among stars.

  • Trans- (Latin): Across or through. Example: Transistor, a semiconductor device that transmits and controls electric current.

  • Centri- (Latin: centrum): Center. Example: Centrifugal force, a force that pulls away from a central axis.

  • -ic (Latin: -icus): Suffix forming adjectives meaning having to do with or made of. Example: Electric, relating to electricity.

  • -ion (Latin: -io): Suffix that forms nouns of state or action. Example: Electron, the negatively charged particle.

  • Capacitor (Latin: capere): Hold, take. Example: Capacitor, a device that stores electric charge.
SI (Metric) Unit Prefixes (Derived from Greek & Latin)


  • Kilo- (Greek: khilioi): Thousand. Example: Kilogram (10^3 grams).

  • Mega- (Greek: megas): Million. Example: Megahertz (10^6 Hertz).

  • Micro- (Greek: mikros): Millionth. Example: Micrometer (10^-6 meters).

  • Milli- (Latin: mille): Thousand

Will this law REQUIRE anyone to read the Bible? What we know is the woke madness has griped schools for years and parents have been thrown out of school board meetings for reading from books available in the library bat their kids schools. Stop being stupid.

Why should anyone give a shit what you may or may not have a problems with if you don't give a shit about what others have a problem with?
