After several weeks of talking smack about how he was going to force Oklahoma teachers to instruct and indoctrinate from the Good Book, Ryan Walters finally introduced his guidelines for Biblical instruction and, well, they’re totally lame as fuck.
Seriously, even Jesus would think they’re underwhelming and boring.
Instead of going full Goliath on the sacred separation of church and state and trying to knock down the wall like he’s the Kool-Aid man, Ryan instead grabbed his slingshot and fired a weak little pea shot.
For example, instead of requiring science teachers to use the Book of Genesis to discredit the big bang and evolution, adding Hebrew as a foreign language credit, or simply replacing after-school detention with stonings and crucifixions, he rolled out tame guidelines that would force teachers to preach to students the Bible’s influence on devout religious men who helped shape and form the country.
Although his guidelines were underwhelming, they did accomplish Ryan’s goal of getting the national press to shine its embarrassing spotlight on Oklahoma.
