Yea so anyways that's not how this works.

They are aware that there is more that one version of the Bible?

Creating more division, hate and snowflakes.

My religion opposes math and science, which are the work of the devil.

Opt-out, miss out. See ya, wouldn’t wanna be ya.

Any? Any is broad and there is a lot that goes against their religion. Science? Social studies? History?

Science Post Ruling: So…the Earth is really only 2,000 years old?

Stupid enough to elect Republicans. That's why the RNCers hate the Department of Education.

But they're not there yet! Make good trouble where we can.

CHRISTO-FASCIST REPUBLICANS

The beauty is that the decision says even if you could, you would not have to, because it might be too expensive...

😤😤😤😤😤

And then you have all this in America. Where religions aren’t a part of your beliefs, they’re cults. Having a religion in America seems like a personality trait rather than personal beliefs.

You’re right, of course

Fail them then or make them pay for religious private school

It is part of the KKKristofascists' plan to create a get-out-of-the-law-free card for KKKristofascists. Next they'll be giving the thumbs-up to people complaining that they're child should not be subjected to the lessons about the evils of slavery etc. because of the Curse of Ham.

But this is what the denizens of the #PariahStatesofAmerica voted for along with cheaper eggs on Nov. 5th 2024 because they're too violent, greedy, selfish, ignorant & stupid to do anything right

Christian nationalism promoted by primarily Catholic SCOTUS.

God hates vaccines. God hates science. God hates history.

Thank Buddha, that as a Social Studies teacher, other world religions never come up. 🙄

This is a disgrace.

Requirements rather than providing alternative instruction, GED might become a more reliable option than the diploma. (BTW with the current GED, most HS graduates with diplomas would not pass the math.) it’s still unfortunate because GED doesn’t judge critical thinking very well, but.

Uh, isn't learning about different views called, damn what's the word. Help me, people! EDUCATION!!!!!!

This ruling and this fake court is blatantly ridiculous.

Seems simple. Those kids should then attend private schools that align with their religions. There is also FREEDOM of religion which means that all kids of all religions and background deserve education regardless of those qualms.

Not mentioned, whether schools will allow students an opt out of reading the bible.

Fuck America.

Your defence of nazi edgelords and their allies over the years makes it impossible to take you clowns seriously.

but they have no functional definition of what is and is not religious!! how does this not immediately result in the anarchy of a million people asking exceptions to the law because they “have a strong feeling”??

nevermind that the literal first amendment and the establishment clause says "FUCK YOUR RELIGION"

So that would include teaching any history, cause all of it offends their religion.

I just Bible worshippers are gonna opt out of learning about slavery too huh. When will this madness end. They are delusional.

Bingo.

So progressive religious folks should be able to opt out of any lesson that dispariages lgbtq and other marginalized people right? Or opt out of Florida's ridiculous pro slavery history courses thay say that black people benefited from slavery? Or does religious freedom only apply to the right wing?

AMERICA has 6 'us sup ct justices' who are 💩'ing on the US CONSTITUTION based on their RACISM, BIGOTRY, WHITE SUPREMACIST HATE-FILLED, fake 'christian' VIEWS & w/ 1 ENABLER. WE FULLY SEE how they ARROGANTLY MOCK w/ VILE DISTAIN the US JUDICIAL system! 💪RIGHT BACK AT YOU 👉 PURE NAZI MAGA goons

This #SCOTUS is dominated by 6 of the most treasonous "justices" to ever sit the bench!

The Satanic Temple should have some fun with this one.

SCOTUS seems determined to send the US down the toilet.

swnd your kid to privare school for nonsense like this

"Religious development" isn't a thing. It's indoctrination.

Would this also apply to evolution?

Yep. And make sure the lgbtq+ content is on the test.

Yep exactly… in my very long teaching career, parents always could opt out and only a handful ever did cause the kids were mortified.

If God had a face, he would have a permanent mark of a facepalm. "How can they be so stupid, the rule was : LOVE THY NEIGHBOR, not BE A MASSIVE BIGOT AND THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT I SAID"

Think a nice gigantic Baphomet statute next to it might be fun.

Difficult? How about impossible?

The future of the United States just made a detour into oblivion.

Ugh all for their make believe

There should be no parental opt-out from any subject, at all, for any reason but *especially* not entertainment. The kids whose parents would withdraw them from a class are usually the ones who would benefit the most from it.

You're about to have a generation who was never taught science so

No, they just want everyone to.

Like it wasn’t already hard enough to be a teacher in the US.

But have to put the Ten Commandments up in schools and put infuse them with Christianity Riiiiight.

Well, then, the religious zealots should try homeschooling. Or a private Christian school. Again, I am sick and tired of these assholes shoving their beliefs down my throat, telling us what is and isn't appropriate on subjects they know absolutely nothing about, but think they do.

I'm honestly curious whether opting out of a given lesson or lessons means that a student cannot be tested on that material. If I give a lesson on evolution, for example, and a student's parents have their child opt out ... am I forbidden from testing on the material the student opted out of?

How soon until kids try the "Geometry offends my God" or "P.E. gives me sinfull thoughts so I'll be skipping that".

Im ready to file a complaint against any and all Christian doctrine in the state of Georgia

Or you have parents opt out of the majority of lessons and their child fails every year 🤷🏻‍♀️ if you don’t like what the school teaches go to one that aligns with your beliefs. It shouldn’t be on teachers to cater to the whims of everyone within a public school setting.

So just flunk them.

I guess. But you could say ‘thank your parents for this’.. I would feel bad for the kid- for having bigoted parents. Is it better to bow to the bigots and not teach this stuff at all?

Give them their own wing in schools. Atheist better complain if they try to weasel that mess in.

If the parents opt a kid out, the kid should a F- (big fat zero) in all associated assignments so the kid's grades should reflect their pisspoor education.

Perhaps we can create two separate schools from each public school. One that has the smart kids and one for the religious goobers.

If children need to be protected from seeing any sort of "LGBTQ-themed materials" it will soon follow that they need to be protected from seeing any sort of LGBTQ person, presented in any normal or positive way. This is the law in Russia. This, I fear, is where they want to do in America.

Why is my teacher reading me a story about how gay people can be loving happy parents when my mom tells me those people are all wicked and going to hell? This is too confusing. Save me SCOTUS!!!

School is for teaching me things that I already agree with, for validating my world view, my prejudices, my fears ... telling me that I'm right about it and I don't need to listen to anyone else.

*catechism*

Also what religion says "you can't read a book with a trans character in it"? There is no major religion with that view. The parents in this case are full of shit.

It invites endless and unresolvable debates about whether a particular objection is truly based on some religious belief.

America is not Christian.

Most kids believe algebra is the devils numbers, so…

I've had students who objected to the Pledge of Allegiance & students who objected to birthday celebrations I didn't question it The student who objected to the pledge sat with their back to the flag The student who objected to B-days, sat in the hall reading with a para

So can I opt out of the Bible being read? Of the 10 Commandments being displayed at my children’s school???

Yep. Then inch toward slavery again. Thanks to crypto one can buy and maintain slaves now, already. The Confederacy (60% of all Republican votes) is a criminal monster that when let out of its chains immediately pursues nothing but evil.

The scariest phrase in this post is "child's religious development" 😱

Gonna start a church that claims math is the devil's poetry and half the population will join to avoid having their kids take 8th-grade pre-Algebra.

I suggest the schools teach something everyday, so these kids will be opted out of going to school all together.

Can't those kids just go pray quietly in the hallway? They're not going to college right. Why would they expose themselves to such diverse information?

Gay parents should opt out of lessons focusing on heteronormative themes.

Or sort the religious into specifically religious schooling. Funded by their churches.

so I guess the separation of church and state no longer exists huh

Given that this is the entire point of public education (to stop children from living in a Bible controlled by their parents), it's kinda really fucked that we're doing this dance... Fuck Republicans, yo

So do the teachers have to send their lesson plans to parents for their approval?

School attendance is already dismal this will be a nightmare for teachers. With that said, the curriculum should not change. Test its limits. Those that opt out should be told to stay home for that day. See how quickly parents choose to opt in to have the childcare.

Doesn't this also mean that a parent can opt-out their children if, in any class, there is a mention of religion that they believe in? Shaky ground, people.

Ok. Allow the opt-out, but don't allow them to graduate if they've not met the core requirements, which they may not have due to opting-out.

We are in hell

You know what, fine, those kids can be excused and sent to a sterile white room while the rest of the class takes the lesson.

This country is going down the sh*tter....nice going MAGA.

Time to get creative. Start teaching broader equality, humanity and equal protection under the constitution. Make the kids think about what is and isn’t legal and why. Kids aren’t born hateful and if you give them the right tools, they’ll shove bigotry up their parents’ ass!

did you guys know that the bible describes earth as a disk with a dome over it? yes... flat earthers are fundamentalists and anything which actually teaches the shape of the planet can be objected to based on religious beliefs... this was a very brain dead ruling

So send them to a Christian school???? Tf is wrong with this administration and their followers bro

Good grief...are they prepared to just toss out all educational standards? Do they understand how many parents have objections to really basic facts that most people take for granted? As someone raised in a homeschool cult, I know how weird this one could get, even aside from LGBTQIA subjects. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Indeed

As a Christian, I would strongly object to having the 10 Commandments hanging on a classroom wall in a public school.

Will parents who fear that religious indoctrination will interfere with their child's intellectual development be able to opt-out of those things? Off the top of my head . . . The Pledge of Allegiance.

Y'all we need to get much louder than the bigots racists homophobes criminal religious PEDOPHILES. There are 330,000,000 of us

They can teach it. The parents can keep them home. My district just offered that parents can tear out the page of the "offensive" pages

My parents religion believes dinosaur fossils are a hoax because they are not mentioned in the Bible. This really opens up some crazy blockade of knowledge.

Ok but..

How about parents do their job by teaching their own kids what they believe and taking them to church? No, they are too lazy and really don't have any religious beliefs.

Who the hell is going to want to teach anymore?
