Oklahoma defends Bibles-in-schools proposal after report that only Trump’s might qualify
Oklahoma defends Bibles-in-schools proposal after report that only Trump’s might qualify
You're viewing a single thread.
A grift in broad daylight.
The "requirements":
- a Bible that is bound by leather or material like leather
- has the Pledge of Allegiance, Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights
- is the New King James version of the Old and New Testament
- has no commentary
has the Pledge of Allegiance, Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights
Why does a bible need these things?
Because Trump's version has these things
That still doesn’t explain it
The rules are written explicitly to cater to Trump's edition so they will be forced to buy only Trump's edition. Meaning they can now fund Trump's nazi grift using Oklahoma taxpayer funds legally.
It's a way to funnel public money directly to Trump and his campaign.
The school boards are run by republicans
What don’t you get? 🙃
Conservatives want a collection of things they won't read or ban. This sums it up.
They’re putting these in schools to try to tear down the separation of church and state.
It fits two purposes:
- grift for Trump payments with state funds
- keeping kids dumb so they stay republican later
If it doesn't contradict itself it's not Republican enough.
I'm in sales and have seen the strategy discussed where if you're trying to sell a product to an institution with a formal bidding process to coach your contact to draw up requirements which only your product can meet.
I’d respect it more if it was just said right up front, “funding to the god-emperor by stealing from our children’s education.”
I guess the satanic temple could print an edition that matches those requirements and undercut Trump by like a dollar.
Is there a known beforehand contractor to provide these with a markup? I guess there's a shade of a simple local grift too.
