  3. So, I know some states want to cede from the union, but is there any precedent for kicking one out? Christian nationalism is cancer.

  4. Maybe off topic, but why in the world would they want the King James Version? If they legitimately want it as a teaching tool, it should be something that kids can actually read and understand. It just tops unconstitutionality with stupidity to require the KJV.

  5. Wait, isn’t this directly against separation of church and state?

  7. If they must have a Bible in their classroom then why can’t they just download a free one.  Kids use tablets for all their other classes anyway.
