A Cornerstone of Western Civilization’: Oklahoma Requires Schools to Teach the Bible in Classrooms

The state of Oklahoma is now requiring schools to teach the Bible, including the Ten Commandments, in grades five through 12.

Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters made the announcement in a memo to all school districts on Thursday, NBC News reported.

“This directive is in alignment with the educational standards approved on about May 2019, with which all districts must comply,” the document read:

The Bible is one of the most historically significant books and a cornerstone of Western civilization, along with the Ten Commandments. They will be referenced as an appropriate study of history, civilization, ethics, comparative religion, or the like, as well as for their substantial influence on our nation’s founders and the foundational principles of our Constitution. This is not merely an educational directive but a crucial step in ensuring our students grasp the core values and historical context of our country.

Additionally, the State Department of Education may supply teaching materials for the Bible, as permissible, to ensure uniformity in delivery.

In a video posted Thursday, Walters said the Bible is connected to many of the nation’s historical events. He also referenced the fact that Martin Luther King, Jr. “used it as a tremendous impetus for the Civil Rights movement”:

In December, a West Virginia high school began integrating a Bible study program after a Christian student spoke to the principal about the idea, Breitbart News reported.

The Bible study was optional for students and guest speakers were required to fill out a volunteer form in order to speak during the morning meetings.

More recently, a bill signed into law requires a poster-sized copy of the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public school classroom in Louisiana, Breitbart News reported June 19.

“Louisiana is the first state to successfully pass legislation requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms, including state-funded universities, since the Supreme Court voted 5-4 to banish the tenets from America’s classrooms in 1980,” the outlet said.

“Efforts to restore the commandments to public schools are active in other states, including Texas, Oklahoma, and Utah, although none so far have been successful,” it concluded.

I seriously never thought I’d see this happen in my lifetime!  PRAISE GOD!

MARANATHA!

Far-left groups organize with goal of disrupting 2024 presidential debate

A new report shows that an alliance of radical activists has come together to protest in Atlanta during Thursday’s presidential debate between U.S. President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.

“The forces behind this planned disruption of the presidential debate would like to have you believe that they were triggered by Israel’s ‘genocide,’” writes Ryan Mauro, an investigative journalist at the Capital Research Center. “But the truth, based on their own words and actions, is that they are volunteers for an international campaign of terrorism and sedition that wants to dismantle the U.S.”

He names the groups involved as Stop Cop City/Defend the Atlanta Forest; Community Movement Builders in Atlanta; the Atlanta Multifaith Coalition for Palestine; Party for Socialism and Liberation; Freedom Road Socialist Organization; Democratic Socialists of America; Jewish Voice for Peace; Housing Justice League; Georgia Youth Justice Coalition; American Friends Service Committee; and the Atlanta branch of the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression.

JNS asked Mauro to explain the importance of understanding these groups and their plans.

“The ‘Stop Cop City/Defend the Atlanta Forest’ group and overall cause has a vividly demonstrated ability to recruit, train, coalesce and incite anarchist-type extremists,” he told JNS. “Dozens of their militants are being prosecuted in Georgia on charges related to domestic terrorism, and the group has a large and fanatical online presence.”

And, as Mauro noted, “the debate is happening right in its backyard.”

He said that the others in the coalition “are almost all pro-Hamas and Communist, or anarchist or anarcho-Communist.”

Calling the danger posed by the protests “even greater than a physical security risk to those at the debate location,” Mauro told JNS of the “potential for a successful disruption to stir anti-Israel and anti-American extremists nationwide into a frenzy and mislead the American people into thinking this is activism with a righteous motivation, even if they disagree with this particular action.”
