Oklahoma schools in revolt over Bible mandate

Well, not if is hasn't rained in a lot of time and it hasn't been watered. So try again and make a rational answer that holds.
A rational mind knows that the nature of grass is to be green. A rational mind doesn't hear the word grass and think purple. I'm it sure why people just admit they hate and are angry and otherwise nasty

How is that relevant to a discussion about
not wasting students' time on Bible study?
It's very relevant. You're chirping that students need to learn "important" stuff but they arent learning important t stuff they're learning demented leftists clap trap garbage.

I see no issue with the Bible as literature in the classroom. Religious

The Bible as literature should be in schools,
dogma, however has no business in schools.

They don't want it as literature, though. They want it as dogma.

Take Mission Generation: "like Uber, but for Jesus."

That's actually in their mission statement.

But wait, there's more:

Leverage is a business term which means “reach a large mass of people with the Good News of Jesus Christ on a tiny budget.” To accomplish this, Mission Generation utilizes digital technology to leverage school facilities and faculties to deliver the Gospel to the largest group of unreached people in the world – school-age children. . . .​
Eating the enemy’s lunch requires solving problems and overcoming challenges in ways more common with business acumen. One example of how the ministry accomplishes this is how it responds to the universal shortage of school counselors in the developing world. We reshaped our Bible courses into a high-quality, spiritual school counselor training (chaplain) program that meets every academic requirement. The School Chaplain Program offers a post-baccalaureate degree in spiritual school counseling and school chaplaincy with international certification and accreditation. . .​
Mission Generation has been placed at the vanguard of Kingdom expansion by leveraging school faculties and facilities to the Glory of God thanks to the prayers and financial support of our partners.​
I learned about Mission Generation from this article:

It also doesn't specifically prohibit raping children.
However, teaching the Bible in public is like raping
children in that both prohibitions are deduced from
the Constitution & Amendments.
The drama queenery of you people is hilarious. Lots of hours practicing in front of the mirror.

Just tell us where it says the Bible can't be taught in school
As literature it can as has always been, but as dogma (a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true.)
It runs into the 1st & 14th Amendments (Incorporation Doctrine).

Ah, a teleological claim. Yeah, that is not considered rational in all different understandings of philosophy. Now what is rational to you?
