Mr. Mayor, I've heard of the creative way you circumvent handle the doctrine of equal time for each religion by teaching the dangers of other faiths. In my younger days I wrote a set of primers also for teaching and preparing children for the world around them. Licensing is still available!

In an utterly mind-boggling move, a collection of the worst-ever parents and teachers-who-should-have-their-licenses-revoked are sueing to STOP(?!) the teaching of the Bible in Oklahoma public schools.

Just who, exactly, are these people trying to sue? God?!

We at Landover Baptist need to pray for this malicious mis-use of the judicial system to be stopped. And we need to encourage other Christians to donate money to any fund that someone starts to stop the steal of children's souls. Unfortunately, from what little I know, LBC cannot make any direct financial contributions to this effort due to previous committments. However, for a small fee, our office staff can manage the fund so that this suit can be stopped in its tracks. . . or unraveled or torn apart at the seams, because this is a suit and not a train.

The good news keeps coming in. Trump wins the election and State Superintendent of Public Schools in Oklahoma has placed the first order of Bibles that include the Constitution. Five hundred of these innovative Bibles are being printed as we speak. We can only pray that eventually, with Trump as our President, this Bible will be required in every public school in the United States.

equal time for each religion

Equal time for 4,000+ "religions" of whom a good percentage are murdering one another per the instructions of their foremen? Let's say 1 minute per week and allow 3 denominations per [false -ed.] religion.

4,000 × 3 = 12,000

There are 480 minutes in an eight-hour day.
Or 2,400 such minutes in a five-day week.
Slice it where you like, excuse me?
When is one supposed to learn?

If I understand your math, Sister, that's a mere 6 weeks +/- a weekend or two of solid study. That would barely cover the basic Introductory sermons in Pastor Zeke's initiation for newcomers to the Church. We'd need to greatly expand religious studies in public schools to get a real education.

Of course, if there were no public schools there'd be no need to expand anything. But one VERY IMPORTANT element, for Christfixt education, is whether providers truly follow Christ. For example, regarding ethics, is there a track record? And here we need to address Rome.

As you know, zero is roughly the amount of time I spend fixating on Romish ethics. Not so for popes! And yes they do have a track record PARTICULARLY INVOLVING EDUCATION.

I'm not so disrespectful as to call them troglodytes, or to suggest that by grinding the vast majority into penury by outrageous fees for dubious services they could build themselves a detached cave and live there in revolting luxury. Because troglodytes didn't do that. Then there's the special "magic" hand movements, waving of arms, muttering and so on. Yet are these so different from what's depicted in the video? Rome achieved its odious hegemony by controlling education. The standards were strict and her reprimands severe. For centuries in this cloying treacle, wretches survived. Just. Some were wealthy and could travel (I think anyone could travel if they wanted to but the conditions would be less than ideal) but mostly, century upon century, minds were crushed and souls destroyed in service to filthy Rome.

Now we are enlightened. Surprisingly the situation was first articulated in France:

In every French village there is now a lighted torch, the schoolmaster; and a mouth trying to blow it out, the priest.

[On this occasion I'll include the original French..]

Il y a maintenant en France dans chaque village un flambeau allumé, le maître d'école, et une bouche qui souffle dessus, le curé.

Now to be quite honest, the less I think about les bouches qui souffle dessus, the better. But will her system of ethics be rekindled in the modern era? Rome works in centuries, we think in lifetimes. And she wants her power back. Way back – even beyond the 1100s – back to when everyone they could "teach" were mental troglodytes, bound and trussed in a cave of dogma.

Should this be a consideration for education providers in America? As I say, it's not really something I think about.
