The Kansas City Star has a long article about efforts by parents, aided by the ACLU, to fight back against Oklahoma’s mandating the (Trump) Bible in Oklahoma public schools. One bit of it leapt out at me; it quotes a Southern Baptist pastor of Native American descent whose children attend Oklahoma public schools and who is one of the plaintiffs in the suit:
Randall said his personal family history is another reason why he opposes the mandate.
He said his great-grandmother and her sister were removed from their home in Broken Arrow and sent to a boarding school where they weren’t allowed to speak their native language and they were forced to attend church.
“All of this was done at the funding of the government,” Randall said. “It’s a haunting history that Oklahoma has when it comes to mandating religion for public education when children are a captive audience.”
