- That is the claw of a harpy eagle. The harpy eagle reaches a maximum length of 40 inches and typically weighs anywhere from 11 to 20 lb. depending on its gender and habitat. A bald eagle, on the other hand, often varies in size. Some bald eagles may range anywhere from 28 to 38 inches in length. How does the harpy eagle’s talon compare to a grizzled bear’s claw? Well, since you asked.

- A nice moment that can only happen at the Olympics. But I’ll be honest, I didn’t think North Korea was capable of winning any medal at any event –South Korea’s Lim Jonghoon takes a selfie with his teammate Shin Yubin and Chinese and North Korean mixed table tennis team medallists at Paris 2024. China took gold, North Korea Silver, and South Korea Bronze. Given that the selfie was apparently taken on a Samsung folding phone, which is a South Korean company.

- New Oklahoma Bible directive faces pushback from several schools
- Several Oklahoma schools are speaking out against State Superintendent Ryan Walters’ directive to teach the Bible in public school grades 5 through 12. Walters recently released guidelines on his controversial Bible mandate in public schools after ordering educators to incorporate the religious text into their lessons, arguing that the Bible is necessary to ensure “students grasp the core values and historical context of our country.”
- When I was a freshman in college, I had to give a five-minute persuasive speech in a communications class. I chose to argue that the Bible should be taught in public schools. Or, maybe it was prayer? I can’t remember. I’m sure for some of you, that comes as a big surprise. This is something I think about when I hear someone will never change their opinion on something.
- Curious, I looked up the guidelines. They are as follows:
-
Upper Elementary (5)
- Narrative Elements: Discuss the elements of a story, such as plot, characters and setting, using biblical stories as examples.
- Historical Context: Begin introducing the historical context in which these stories were written and their impact on Western culture.
- Literary Devices: Identify and discuss simple literary devices such as similes, metaphors and personification within biblical texts.
- Music Appreciation: Introduce students to classical music pieces inspired by biblical themes, discussing the historical context and significance without focusing on religious content.
-
Middle School (6-8)
- Textual Analysis: Engage students in more detailed analysis of biblical texts, focusing on language, structure and themes.
- Comparative Literature: Compare biblical stories with myths and legends from other cultures, examining similarities and differences.
- Historical Impact: Discuss the influence of the Bible and historical events and figures.
- Art and Music Exploration: Study famous artworks and musical compositions inspired by biblical themes, discussing their impact on culture and society while remaining mindful of all rules for grade-level and age-level appropriate material.
-
High School (9-12)
- Advances Literary Analysis: Conduct in-depth analysis of complex biblical texts, examining themes, motifs and literary techniques.
- Historical Documents: Study primary historical documents and speeches that reference the Bible, exploring their significance and context.
- Ethical and Philosophical Discussions: Facilitate discussions on the ethical and philosophical ideas presented in the Bible and their influence on Western thought.
- Critical Essays: Assign essays that require critical thinking and analysis of the Bible’s role in literature, history and culture.
- Art and Music Appreciation: Analyze and interpret significant artworks and musical pieces inspired by the Bible, understanding their historical and cultural relevance while remaining mindful of all rules for grade-level and age-level appropriate material.
