Featured Senate committee passes bill allowing the Bible to be taught in Kentucky public schools

Well the school boards don't have to accept all volunteers.
At any rate I don't see a problem with students hearing about the Christian POV and the Jewish POV presented by sincere believers. It wouldn't kill them to hear
different points of view.

 

Ecclesiastes 3:15

 

I am a Christian, all other faiths are false. I feel as if we should not allow others to teach false pseudo religions such as Islam.

 

I'm wondering what the teacher's union is going to say about this.

Who's going to teach Government? Republicans? Democrats? Communists? Nazis? Libertarians?

Who's going to teach Music? Classicalists? Rockers? Jazzers? Rappers?

 

Well, I thought it through as per my first post and said we (Christians) need to at least be in the game. I also referred to teaching about the Christian principles behind the foundation of our country, rather than addressing just Bible teaching, backed that up with the civics test agreement, but that went right over your head apparently. Maybe if you'd read more carefully instead of getting your panties in a knot when someone disputes the typical liberal excuses for not allowing for some general Christian teaching in the schools, which you are pedaling, then you might understand what is actually being said (argued)! Hence,...like how it (teaching in the schools) has become "lopsided" and Christians need to get in the game.

 

Just "being in the game" sounds like a recipe for compromising our beliefs.

That would be called a history class, not a Bible class.

 

Teachers in past years have read a scripture verse before class began, and they didn't even have to understand the meaning of it. Just close the book and move on. I see nothing wrong with that.

At any rate we could think of pastors coming and speaking to a class as sort of like career day. It gives young people another perspective on things.

As for Imams teaching on the Bible, well that is not even the source for their faith, so you could say they are out of the picture anyway.

 

Why? Does it have to be all in indoctrination in the schools or nothing? Or otherwise it is a compromise?

Yes, my point being history that involved "the Christian principles behind the foundation of our country,"...

Yes, wasn't that point made clear, when I said, "I also referred to teaching about the Christian principles behind the foundation of our country, rather than addressing just Bible teaching,... ?

Although, when teaching "the Christian principles behind the foundation of our country" the Bible might come into the discussion concerning where these values came from...Hence, I was not suggesting the Bible teaching go beyond the basics of " the Christian principles behind the foundation of our country".

That is what it means when I said, "Just some basics on the principles this country was formed on being taught to our children would be nice."

Please read more carefully before barking your comments to me so I don't have to spell these things out, eh...

 

If you allow the Bible to be taught in the schools you're opening the door for this sort of thing. Instead, let's have the time-honored Baptist concept of separation of church and state.

New Jersey School System Promotes Islam in Curriculum, But Says that Bible Verses “Belong in Sunday School.”

Two New Jersey moms are under fire for pointing out a middle school curriculum that teaches students about Islam while ignoring Judaism and Christianity.

“In my opinion, I call this proselytizing, for by definition of this word it means convert or attempt to convert from one religion, belief or opinion to another,” Gayers said.

Another mother, Libby Hilsenrath, echoed Gayers’ sentiments, pointing out that the seventh grade class went into detail about the various aspects of Islam, but did not teach Judaism and Christianity. She also brought forth further course material that could be seen as proselytizing for Islam, which included a video providing an introduction to Islam that quoted excerpts from the Koran such as “And they say: Be Jews and Christians, then ye will be rightly guided. Say (unto them, O Muhammed) Nay, but (we follow) the religion of Abraham, the upright, and he was not of the idolators” and “Lo, we have sent thee (O Muhammed) with the truth, a bringer of glad tidings and warner.”

 

Wait, ChrisTheSaved is disagreeing with my wondering what the teacher's union is going to say about this?

How can someone disagree with a question?
