Bill (who cares what you think) O'Reilly is saying: "Listen up. Talking Points believes, as do a majority of Americans, that the problem with education is that the teachers aren't allowed to use the Bible as a foundation or basis of knowledge, . . . so our kids come out with a smattering of secular facts without any moral framework to apply them to. . . . So when someone mentions Noah, they think of a pizza chain; when somebody speaks of 'The Fall,' they think of a blockbuster movie; and when someone refers to 'The Expulsion from the Garden,' they think of being kicked out of a restaurant. . . . Todays school children are being deprived of a significant and meaningful education!!!"

atheists are allowed to preach in all churches.

(19,359 posts)4. CAPTIONs at DU are creative (i.e., written by DUers), but
many channel the person's essence. This one is based on the following DU thread, though the CAPTION exaggerates the absurdity of O'Reilly's position:
