Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters is requiring Oklahoma public schools to have Bibles in the classrooms and teach from those Bibles. However, the instruction will not be religious as much as historical, focused in particular upon the Bible’s place in American history.
Ryan Walters remains a stormy petrel, working to reverse the trend of wokeness in Oklahoma schools. And so the objections to this move by Walters run the gamut of ridiculousness. For example, here is Rajan Zed, president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, saying that he welcomes teaching the Bible in Oklahoma schools, as the Bhagavad-Gita can also be taught.
With all due respect, the Bhagavad Gita is not part of American history.
Then there is the Executive Director of the Oklahoma chapter of the the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Adam Soltani, asking this question:
Why are we emphasizing or requiring the teaching of one particular religious scripture?
A simple search of the Internet with the terms “Bible” and “American history” produces results including these:
While the U. S. Constitution is a practical legal document, it is based on a consensus of long-held moral, philosophical, and political beliefs, principles, and customs recognized and practiced by the American people.
Some important philosophical influences on the Constitution include the colonial and state constitutions, the Great Awakening, modern Enlightenment thinkers, and the Declaration of Independence.
Notably, all of these particular influences were shaped by a God-oriented worldview based on and/or consistent with the Bible. This worldview was held by colonial and founding-era Americans as well as by the political philosophers they read.
In fact, the Bible itself was also a very strong, direct influence on founding-era Americans who drafted and ratified the Constitution.”
So that is all Adam Soltani had to do: a simple Internet search.
But CAIR has a long history of trying to penetrate the public schools system around the country with its political messages about Islam having nothing to do with 9/11, and of teaching the 1619 project, as well as fight to get Muslim students special privileges under the pretext of prevention of bullying.
Of course, the Bible has been taught as literature in the public schools for decades. And it is telling that the powers that be in Oklahoma are much more comfortable exposing students to homosexuality than to the moral code that helped form the foundation of the United States.
It is absolutely true that all of CAIR’s TV appearance fall into one or more of these categories: supporting a terrorist organization, threatening someone or something, or offering its irrelevant reaction to something in the news.
It seems that Zed and Soltani want to replace American culture with Indian and Islamist culture.
They should not have been allowed to live in the US and should be deported, especially Soltani!
Good article.
We will destroy our Religious Liberty by continuing to allow those of hostile religions to immigrate to America ! Our Constitution protects the Judeo /Christian Values that are simply not tolerated in any majority Muslim country. Jews are literally BANNED from even entering at least 16 Muslim countries and 16 US states have wisely banned Sharia Law. More should follow suit. Islam considers all NON-Muslims to be heretics and the Koran requires, in no uncertain terms, that they submit to Islam or be killed, so that Islam can take over the World. Yet America is being forced to take in Muslims. The Constitution and the First Amendment were not intended to be a SUICIDE PACT. July Fourth is a good time to recognize that fact. Milk-Toast American leaders need to man-up, show some actual COURAGE, live up to their Oath of Office and start protecting US CITIZENS.
