Sure, let's go all out and teach Christian history in school.
And when I say Christian history, I mean all of it. This includes Theodosius I making Christianity the state religion of Rome and punishing apostasy with death. Let's talk about what Christians did when they achieved state power and began their reign of terror (I'm thinking of what Christians did to Hypatia and how their destruction of the Library of Alexandria set humankind back a thousand years or so).
By all means, let's teach the students all about the nearly 4 centuries of the Inquisitions, the nearly 2 centuries of the Crusades, the 3 centuries of the Medieval Witch Hunts, the Conquistadores, the convert-or-die missionaries in the "New World," the Puritans, the Christian-based KKK, the Christian-based Nazis, the pogroms, etc. bloody etc. Documented Christian history is a story of terror, torture, death and destruction.
Not only Alexandria but most Pagan knowledge was destroyed, compare with China technology at the same era to better see the gap. And I kean technology in a broad sense.
How is this different from what was taught in Oklahoma 3-4 decades ago? I can't believe how superficial the teaching of the Trail of Tears was and how they did everything they could to suppress any emotional reaction to it. Then there was re-enacting the Land Run like it was a good thing, rather than stealing land from the Native Americans that we had forced them onto. Oklahoma still prides itself on its history as Indian Territory. And of course the Gideons were allowed to pass out NTs to school children, even in elementary school.
"And of course the Gideons were allowed to pass out NTs to school children, even in elementary school."
In elementary school, we would accept them and even take them home. In high school, we would politely accept them, and then toss them into the next trash can we came across. This was in the early 80s.
"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and tortuous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we call it the word of a demon, than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness, that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest anything that is cruel."
-- Thomas Paine
Paine, who detested cruelty, never owned slaves. He saw slavery as cruel.
Here's a short one from Paine that's also guaranteed to never get him into the Christian club...
"The Bible is such a book of lies and contradictions there is no knowing which part to believe or any."
Are they going to mention the fact that the first 6 Presidents were Deists? The first orthodox Christian President was Andrew Jackson, a bloodthirsty racist.
The 7 Key Founding Fathers were (in alphabetical order) John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and George Washington. Of those 7, only ONE was an orthodox Christian (Jay). Hamilton was Christian only when it was convenient. The rest of the time, he ignored his religion.
The rest of them were Deists. And as we all know through their own writings, Deists neither liked nor trusted Christians.
First commandment - โYou shall have no other gods before Meโ
First Amendment - Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
You are mistaken, what you quoted is a false First Amendment. Bully has the true one and he will show it to people as soon as drumpster will implement his Medicare reform ๐
Gosh, how very surprising that he doesn't want Jefferson included. A few choice quotes:
The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as his father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva from the brain of Jupiter.
Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man.
I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world, and do not find in our particular superstition [Christianity] one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded upon fables and mythologies.
And of course Thomas Paine's status as a Founder is debatable, but just for completeness' sake:
The whole religious complexion of the modern world is due to the absence from Jerusalem of a lunatic asylum.
In your letter of the twentieth of March, you give me several quotations from the Bible, which you call the Word of God, to show me that my opinions on religion are wrong, and I could give you as many, from the same book to show that yours are not right; consequently, then, the Bible decides nothing, because it decides any way, and every way, one chooses to make it.
Funny, but the Danbury Baptists praised Jefferson and his wall of separation. Those Danbury Baptists didn't relish the idea of having to pay the Congregationalists of Connecticut tribute.
As long as the teacher isnโt a lying pos evangelical, this law would change nothing because the standards already ask teachers to provide all that and thereโs no influence from the religion/Ten Commandments and blah blah blah except to influence the founding fathers to avoid religious influence in government. But Bullard is counting on lying pos evangelical teachers to educate according to The Liar Bartonโs corrupted history books that even Christian publishers donโt back. The Liar Barton does not have the credentials or brainpower to teach history, we should not be going to him for policy on the subject. Anyone who chooses to is not qualified to be dog catcher let alone a legislator.
ALL religions should be taught in history classes in school as HISTORY and what influence it had/has on culture/art and music etc.. That has nothing to do with induction of FAITH.
Christians want to teach a lie to our children. It isn't really a surprise, is it? Their religion is based on make believe, mythology, fear, and hatred.

The bill says specific quotes must be used, which quotes would those be? Are they listed in another part of the bill? Or are they supposed to be gleaned by the teachers through context clues? Like which quotes by those specific founders ought to be used? The ones that they proudly proclaimed and included in public discourse and official documents, or the ones that only Barton is aware of through their private correspondence to their super religious families?
โOh yes, dear Auntie, I will absolutely ensure the government requires your young niece to dress modestly and be the most chaste darling to ever grace the earth. Donโt worry my dear, you will be the best matron of your church parish. โ.

But - but - but ... you're not cherry-picking! You're SUPPOSED to cherry-pick the GOOD stuff off of the BAD stuff! ๐
But the Founders were responsible for none of that stuff. They committed a whole slew of brand new atrocities.

I imagine the outcry if someone tried to distribute bibles in public schools here.
I can't help but notice that Bully-boy didn't mention Thomas Paine, and I sorta wonder why. Do you suppose it could be because of quotes like this?
