The legislature is in session right now here in West Virginia and one
bill that has been introduced would declare the bible to be the official
state book.

Bob,
Of course, all of these objectionable state bills are the doing of ALEC, the Koch Brothers funded organization which has taken over so many state legislatures. The bills are fashioned by industry and the legislators go along with them. This has to do with a corporate take over of our country, not with a civil war between the people.

Hi all,
The good news is that these terrible bills were not passed. The bad news is that they were introduced in the first place. Hey there all you loonies of the right and fellow trumpsters, if you want a civil war on your hands just keep right on doing what you’ve been doing since Obama was elected in 2008.

S. Dakota science bill is rejected . By Valerie Strauss The Washington Post News Service . An "alternative facts" science bill in South Dakota was recently defeated in the state Senate's education committee. It was the first of four similar bills introduced in 2017 in state legislatures to die. SB55 would have allowed teachers to teach anything they want as science, as long as they used certain language. There are three other bills in state legislatures at the moment that would allow science denial in classrooms: Indiana's Senate Resolution 17, Oklahoma's Senate Bill 393 and Texas's House Bill 1485. Since 2014, at least 60 "academic freedom" bills - which permit teachers to paint established science as controversial - have been filed in state legislatures all over the country.. There was strong opposition to the South Dakota bill from the science and education communities. Washington Post
