hey DA, answer the question instead of spewing your ignorant hate. what part of this is untrue?
"most historically significant books and a cornerstone of Western civilization"?
And BTW, you inadvertently showed your true colors...
When have I ever been anything but honest on here? You just don't like my honesty.
Yes, there are historically relevant and significant portions of the Bible that are ALREADY taught in social studies/history/Western Civ classes.
I couldn't tell you how many times that I have taught middle schoolers about the Big 3 religions (Christianity, Islam and Judaism) and their major tenants....including the connection between the 10 Commandments and modern day written law. I taught about the major players in Christianity including Moses, Jesus etc. and their impacts on us today.
This is Already part of Kentucky education curriculum.
But this has always been done via the state board of ed, local schools and teacher input. The difference now is the making of MANDATORY indoctrination of ONE religion over all others.
Nobody is telling you and your kids not to go to church 24/7.... But you wanna force others to listen to your religious beliefs against their will via codified laws. That's BS.
Big difference between an overview of the world's major religions/influence on western civ. and your indoctrination using one above all others.
These are just a few of the actual Ky standards we taught as the basis for all of the lessons regarding religion/cultural influences/and basis for our modern laws. We have ALWAYS done this as long as I've been teaching. It just wasn't law hanging over our heads and wasn't skewed to favor one religion over all others. All of the major religions have had impacts on our civilization.
