Not OK!

By John Pieret

ADVERTISEMENTS

The execrable Sally Kerns' latest atrocity is now on the desk of the governor of Oklahoma.

Dustin Hughes, Managing Editor of the Sand Springs Leader gets it right:

Bell bottoms, big giant sunglasses, reality shows, the New Kids on the Block. Things you think you're finished with, for the better, and *BAM* they smack you in the face.
State Rep. Sally Kern's bizarre right-wing agenda is another thing I thought was gone and done. Kern, you'll recall, was the "gays worse than terrorists" person who made national headlines.

Kern's bill reads:

Students may express their beliefs about religion in homework, artwork, and other written and oral assignments free from discrimination based on the religious content of their submissions. Homework and classroom assignments shall be judged by ordinary academic standards of substance and relevance and against other legitimate pedagogical concerns identified by the school district. Students shall not be penalized or rewarded on account of the religious content of their work.

You might consider donating to Oklahomans for Excellence in Science Education. They might need it.

After all, if the corn is as high as an elephants eye, you can imagine where the other end is.
