Oklahoma has passed a bill that allows students to define what the right answer on a test is based on their faith.
The bill requires public schools to guarantee students the right to express their religious viewpoints in a public forum, in class, in homework and in other ways without being penalized. If a student’s religious beliefs were in conflict with scientific theory, and the student chose to express those beliefs rather than explain the theory in response to an exam question, the student’s incorrect response would be deemed satisfactory, according to this bill.
The school would be required to reward the student with a good grade, or be considered in violation of the law. Even simple, factual information such as the age of the earth (4.65 billion years) would be subject to the student’s belief, and if the student answered 6,000 years based on his or her religious belief, the school would have to credit it as correct. Science education becomes absurd under such a situation.

I'm starting a religion where the answer to ALL math problems is 1 and that's my faith and you have to pass me because that's what I believe.
Who cares what's "true" anyway? Who cares about education when you have religion?

Nevertheless, the bill does contain text which appears to dictate various incorrect values of pi, such as 3.2."

Welcome to the NEW DARK AGES.
Hopefully it won't take 500 years for a new reformation.

That proves that there's at least one sane person in Oklahoma!!!

One place in the bible it says that a boul should be made with a circumference of 10 units and a diameter of 3. (Or was it a circumference of 30 and a diameter of 10 units? I don't remember. Better look it up.) This makes a value of pi to be ...

Likewise, if God really wanted abortion to be illegal, God could've said something about it in the Bible; surely God would know in advance that humans would come to advance technologically.

Originally posted by PsychoPawnOkay, history students listen up: join my church, which believes that God distorted time during the year 666 and every significant event in history actually happened in that year -- the US civil war, the French Revolution, you name it. This will save you ever having to study for those history exams again!
