Devos will replace math books with books that have pi equal to 3.

Biology books will show Jesus riding a T. Rex. History books will discuss the reasons slavery was OK, because Bible, and explain how Jesus J. Christ was our true first President.

Civics class will be devoted to memorizing the 10 commandments and various chapters of Leviticus.

Fractions, irrational numbers, and other such concepts are of Satan, and will not be taught.

Here's a word problem for elementary school arithmetic class, in the teacher's edition of the text:

There are four children at a table for nutrition break. 21 pieces of candy are in a bowl on the table. How many pieces does each child receive?

Correct answer: Seven. The three white, Christian children each get seven pieces. The fourth child, who is black and a Muslim, gets none, and is promptly arrested when the nutrition break is over.

What happened to her yesterday is only the beginning of the backlash against her. I see more bigger protests, picketing and actions. She will not be able to stand the heat. She's a rich entitled woman who has lived an easy life around servants. It is only the beginning.
