Oklahoma state superintendent orders schools to teach the Bible in grades 5 through 12
Oklahoma's top education official is ordering public schools to incorporate the Bible into lessons for grades 5 through 12.
Oklahoma’s top education official ordered public schools Thursday to incorporate the Bible into lessons for grades 5 through 12, the latest effort by conservatives to incorporate religion into classrooms.
The directive drew immediate condemnation from civil rights groups and supporters of the separation of church and state, with some calling it an abuse of power and a violation of the U.S. Constitution.
The order sent to districts across the state by Republican State Superintendent Ryan Walters says adherence to the mandate is compulsory and “immediate and strict compliance is expected.”

I actually wouldn't mind kids being taught critical thinking, ethics & the Bible as a subject.
Start with an ethical dilemma, apply critical thinking to it and then overlay an appropriate Bible passage.
Could cover original sin, lots daughters, midionite genocide, slavery, creation of hell, eternal torture for a finite crime, 10 commandments etc.What does critical thinking & ethics has to do with an old religious book though?
Is the final exam to show how crap it is?
