Apparently the attempt to use the Bible as a textbook has been blocked
by the state's supreme court, but they are likely to appeal to the
supreme court eventually. The claim is that Judeo-Christian religious
belief is an important component for understanding Western civilization
and history. Just think of how much of classic literature has Biblical references (probably a lot of them would be banned by the religious
bigots in Oklahoma if they could).
It should be noted that COPE (the ID Network turned into COPE in order
to sell the switch scam without having ID in the name of their
organization) failed to sell the switch scam to Oklahoma for more than a decade. The Oklahoma creationist rubes would not bend over for the
switch scam if they could not tell the students the religious reason for
the obfuscation and denial.
Instead Oklahoma is trying a more honest and open approach to getting
their religious notions into the public schools. The article indicates
that the current US Supreme court may be open to the current ploy.

Ron, the info you share about H5N1 is great. It's important stuff that
doesn't get enough attention. Thanks for posting it here to this very
limited audience.
You get a bit wrought when you're up on step, over ID perps and
scammers. The repetitive demonization distracts from your otherwise
lucid points.
Can you explain what you mean about the "bait and switch scam"? Who are
the baiters, what bait are they offering to whom, and what's their
switcheroo? Is it Discovery types trying to convince YECers they have
science to support YECism, then trying to sell them ID science instead,
or something completely different? I don't quite get that. TIA!
