To pre-empt the people who say that it's just going to be straight teaching the Bible and thus teachers should teach lessons about horse semen and the like, supposedly it has to be within the context of how the BIble influenced U.S. history.

So instead, they should teach about the Bibles given to slaves with anything about breaking the bonds of slavery removed- https://www.npr.org/2018/12/09/674995075/slave-bible-from-the-1800s-omitted-key-passages-that-could-incite-rebellion

Or about how Thomas Jefferson had his own personal edited version of the New Testament that removed all the supernatural stuff- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Bible

Or maybe just Father Coughlin in the 1930s using the BIble to justify Hitler's antisemitism- https://exhibitions.ushmm.org/americans-and-the-holocaust/personal-story/charles-coughlin

Just a few ideas for any Oklahoma teachers.

The atheism A looks just enough like the Alabama A to where seeing it in juxtaposition to the word Oklahoma made me think this was gonna be about college football until I finished the headline. This is much more upsetting
