This should be the number one post. The world has gone mad and we're all just looking on.

I love Robert Reich!

Yeah, people would tell me they can't breathe with a mask on because "asthma". I'd then ask "so, where's your inhaler? I have asthma, I wear a mask and carry mine in my purse". I generally got a blank look or they'd walk off.

Eat the rich!

Amen

Covidiots still covidioting

Nice work Ryia ✊

Racists be racisting.

On behalf of all thinking Australians, I apologise for Rupert Murdoch’s existence

Matt Gaetz is also a MEMBER OF CONGRESS. Who is he writing this to? Himself?

As an American, I have to be very clear that I don't love private health insurance. The reality is we have NO CHOICE.

THIS!!!!!!!!!

It's a racket. Monopolies hate competition.

Sickening

Weird..

Very clever.

Margin profits, what else? Oh and dividends too.

I can concur.

Like your hotel rooms, Rach, you can rent a Ferrari for 20 minutes or multiples thereof.

Zuckerberg went to Harvard.

LMAO THATS EMBARRASSING

"They sent me abroad to kill foreigners. I hate them all...." military mentality

Establishment clause! "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...". Thanks to these religious fanatics, we seem to have to relitigate this every year or so now.

"Ooooooklahomah, where the bigots ruin all the schools......"

No problem, as a teacher of Catholic Religion (and a Catholic myself) I'm full qualified in teaching the Bible: - The creation mythology - The various legends of the flooding the world - Historically arguments against the reality of Exodus - The limited kingdom of David - The formation of the Bible and the sacerdotal manipulations - The historical parts (mainly during the Hellenistic period) - Jesus and the "Love Everyone" revolution. (Did you notice the abundance of red and stars in the JC images?)

AND, initially the bibles that the superintendent of schools was going to require HAD to have the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence in them. I'll give you 2 guesses who was selling bibles with those 2 documents in them.

Do they lose their teaching license if they teach that the bible is a work of fiction?

It gets worse. The law is written that the only bible the meets the specs is the trump bible. So what is amounts to is buying a $70 bible from trump that cost $2 dollars to make in china for each classroom..

New proposal: get into the smutty parts of the Bible and use it to explain sex ed to kids under the pretense of making sure they fully comprehend the Bible.

Of course the USA is all about freedom....

I think it was John Oliver was saying this is a bad idea no matter what side you're looking at it. Do conservative Christians really want a possible hardcore atheist "teaching" the Bible to their kids, no they do not.

It is a dangerous game to just "teach the Bible". You actually have to study rigourously to understand even short passages, let alone how you translate the meaning of it to kids and their modern lives. In the Netherlands we have expert teachers teaching religion in a lot of high schools, also not Christian ones. You really understand the world better if you know what people around you believe. And it makes a lot of art, movies and tv shows better.

That ruling was made by the Superintendant of Schools. He also determined that all the Bibles must be bound in leather or leather-like material, include The Constitution, The Amendments, and I can't remember what-all else - but basically it can only all be found in that stupid-a$$ Bible that tRump is selling.

Are they allowed to point out the the miosgonystic bits? The genocidal bits? The contradictory bits? The incestuous bits? The illogical nature of a lot of it? All that nasty stuff that would get it banned from a lot of American schools, if the people doing the banning actually ever read it.

Remember the only amendment that matters to them is "The Second Ammendment".

Religion is the bane of humanity!

And the books have to include Old & New Testaments, the Pledge of Allegiance, the Declaration of Independence, and the US Constitution. Of the literally hundreds of versions of that magic tome published in the US only ONE meets all the criteria. It's the latest scam from the Biggest Loser and it's printed in... *insert drumroll here*... CHINA!

If that is true, then that is absolutely horrible!

smells like Iran around here

Oh, I could fill a year long course with murder, genocide, slavery, incest, rape, idolatry, etc. And that would be all I taught. Leviticus would be a blast.

Hope yall like it hot. These comments make me worry about this world. There needs to be less gay stuff and more Jesus and that’s just the truth. This world is so perverse and our kids are more confused than ever. We need some solid foundation with a moral code. Sorry not sorry

The only Bible that fits all their requirements just so happens to be the one a former president, and convicted Felon, sells. Ain't that a hoot.

There is some great wisdom in the bible. Some incredible stories of overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles.. The trouble is that people believe it's an instruction book.

When I was in elementary school the teachers read from the Bible every day and we did the pledge of allegiance. Don

But it's Oklahoma. A little "Bible -learnin'" can't make it any worse.

This made the list and yet states pass all kinds of laws that affect every person who lives there or passes through their borders and yet can be found to be illegal on any number of reasons. Just look at seatbelt laws. 100% invasion of privacy. It's no one's business if I'm wearing. Look at the states that legalized marijuana. It's still illegally federally. And now there's countless people driving high because the state allows it.
