Someone should introduce a bill that prohibits gun shops, titty bars and liquor stores from being open on Sundays. To follow the Ten Commandments, don't cha know.

Heaven (or, at least, this woman's version of it) forbid that students should actually learn about things they should know because they are real things in our society.

OK, they asked for it. Come Monday (it'll be all right), I am going to teach my class about the implicit homophobia and fraught gender-roles in Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men." I was just going to stick with my "role-call of outsiders" theme, but I'll have to make room for it.

Easy for me in Oregon. Don't cry for me, Looziana.

Jesus wants you to stick your nose in other people's pants -- or so one can infer from the behavior of would-be theocrats.

This ignorant bitch works at Woodlawn High School?? The one that scores lower than district, state, and national averages on American College Testing (ACT) scores (Composite: 19.3, English: 18.9, Math: 18.7, Reading: 19.2, Science: 19.7).

Educate yourself, and abort your children post birth (as democrats promote) so your shitttiness is not spread.

"They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart." if that works better for you, dog faced soulless moron.

Ta, Robyn. The Ten Commandments? In school? No. Speaking of which, all these RWNJs violate the first of the ten daily. It says, thou shalt have no other gods before me, and not only do they put Jesus first, they also worship miserable mammon and liar-thief-adulterer-sloth-Trump.

So, if Ms. Jones gets married and becomes Mrs. Smith, what happens in the classroom?

How does she explain her name change without bringing up gender and identity?

Witness Protection Program. My students think that about me and I never even changed my name.

Ohhhh, can't wait until they start arguing over which version of the Lord's Prayer we all have to recite.

There isn't even an extant copy of the original Bible. It's been rewritten, edited, translated, and generally messed up now for many hundreds of years.

It's fiction anyway.

Oh yes, so right. I grew up in a very lovely United Church of Christ. We focused on love, no sin or hell. I still attend if I can when there, so I definitely know the new testament and think M, M, L & J should be talked about, good life lessons there.

In college I took a literature class on the old testament. A study of the story of a tribe of people that's been handed down word-of-mouth and severely mistranslated and chopped. Then severely misinterpreted. In college I studied the Humanities, Ancient Greece and Rome up to the 20th century (we weren't in the 21st yet) and it is fascinating to me how religion got all twisted over the centuries. We got some very nice art and architecture out of it, at least!

I see Bible Lady has included the Required Text, which is as usual a lightly edited KJV. That will prevent a lot of nitpicking by CINOs, and also allow stocks of conforming placards pre-printed and available for donation.

Can't wait for a discussion of what legally constitutes a "graven image." I believe the Muslims have a significant body of case law.

Catholics will not be pleased. But they do not even count as CINOs with these big-otts.

So no teacher, gay or straight, can mention their wife or husband. Sounds reasonable.

What if Ms. Jones becomes Mrs. Smith?

They also can't wear traditionally male or female clothing. It's a real problem!

Or mixed fibers. Why stop at the Ten, when all Leviticus lies spread before us?

Or, in this school, biohazard suits to protect themselves from people like Horton.

"(3) Discussing his own sexual orientation or gender identity."

So, women, be they cis- or trans- can discuss it all they want?

I have no problems with posting the Ten Commandments as long as they use examples from the proven rapist Defendant Trump's life to illustrate the violation of each one.

This is grooming children. It is propaganda and indoctrination. If you want to send your kids to a "Christian" school, do so, but leave the rest of them alone.
