I guess the Bible too. Or maybe religion classes and prayer before each period too. At least it looks like that is what one Oklahoma legislator believes.
Just cannot take this crap anymore. Religion is the answer for everything. Even the common cold. -- Raw Story.

(4,218 posts)They are unrelenting in pushing that we need religion in school. They dont understand that means allowing all religions in school, not just their brand of Christianity. Seriously anyone can pray quietly anytime they want during the school day. No one is taking any Bibles from students. But its tough to convince them.

(4,066 posts)The last time one of my Southern "friends" from high school went on a rant about putting prayer back into the schools I simply asked who's prayer book should they allow. Knowing full well he meant Christian prayers only.
When I pointed out he'd have to allow Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikh, Shinto, Buddhist and others in addition to Christian prayers he lost it and unfriended me. Oh darn.
