A discussion would be you and I discussing something not 15 people all coming at me because they disagree with my beliefs and opinions. It’s group think here. Like a black ant near a red ant pile, one red ant goes at the black ant, so the other red ants go “well shit we better to”

...touches on why I hate the suffix, 'phobia.' The foundation of "phobic" is asinine.

The irony and hilarity of the use of the word, "group think."
You disagree with my view on God. It doesn't change my opinion, or enjoyment, of chatting with you.
People disagree with me here on the word "Zionist." It doesn't change my opinion, or enjoyment, of chatting with them.
I'll bet the VAST majority here doesn't agree with me when it comes to marijuana. It doesn't' change my opinion, or my enjoyment, of chatting with them.
An judgement on an opinion is not a judgment on a person. It's an observation.
To me, it seems like when these observations hit close to home, you tend to react emotionally. I get that. But, it's not like people are trying to fuck with you.
We are all just talking.

Brother, you started the thread with more than a smidge of snark. What did you expect?

It is the definition of group think, now I understand everybody here is on the same side and agree with each other, but it is definitely group think.
Here’s the difference- do I believe in God? No, but I have no problem with you having that faith. Everybody knows my personal connection to the LGBTQ+ community and also knows my support for that community, so 15 people coming at me quoting a book that I don’t view any differently than any other book and ridiculing my beliefs for said community isn’t just talking.

A snide remark sure, but not aimed at anybody here

It's grandstanding for votes, just like an election year handout. If you were a teacher, in what context would you incorporate the Bible into your lesson plans? You'd probably put it in the same light you do here, just like the many other teachers who aren't Christians.
This is clearly overreach and, like I said, grandstanding. It'll get knocked down by the first appellate judge or tribal chief, whoever is overseeing that state these days, and he can crow that he tried to make a difference, but those pesky courts stymied him. It's really no different from Biden's overreach on loan forgiveness and the foreclosure moratorium, both overturned. Playing to their base.

Is panderation a word?

Majority of preachers don’t know the Bible well enough to teach it in depth. Surely don’t need functional illiterates attempting to teach it.

Nice broad brushingI don't know why so many people are getting in a twist here. Neither LA nor OK's statutes will ever stand a legal battle. It is just what @TerryP said, panderation. And no superintendent with half a brain cell is going to risk a lawsuit that will result in his/her district going nearly bankrupt from firing a teacher for not following this mandate.

It doesn’t bother me at all what’s being proposed for the reasons that you listed. My elementary years were from 68-72. Probably because I have been married twice & there is a 16 yr gap between my oldest & my second child. I have seen & interacted with teachers over a long span & there has been a serious decline in the quality of educators. My brush strokes are therefore long not broad.

Maybe...pick up a different brush then. Your "long brush strokes" and Stomp's "everything falls under this umbrella" are both off base.
Petroleum based products...you anti-oil guys are all bad.

How many children do you have or had in public schools? What time periods? Where?Maybe...pick up a different brush then. Your "long brush strokes" and Stomp's "everything falls under this umbrella" are both off base.

None.
If I had children, I would home school them. IF I had kids they'd probably fall in the "Drew Barrymore" category. As I recall, she doesn't have a high school degree. She just read. And read. And read.
That's where it would all begin IF I had kids...read. read. read.

Because my cum dripped down the leg doesn't mean I don't know what it takes to raise a kid.
You're a dog, barking up a tree, without realizing it's a shagbark hickory you're trying to get traction upon.
(Yeah, that was funny. Shagbark...damn my thinking.)
