Ryan Walters calls for $6M to purchase Bibles for classrooms in proposed budget
The plan to purchase Bibles for public school classrooms comes nearly two months after the superintendent sent a letter to state school districts, ordering them to incorporate the Bible as an instructional support for student curriculum in fifth through 12th grades.
“Adherence to this mandate is compulsory,” Walters’ letter to the school districts said. “Further instructions for monitoring and reporting on this implementation for the 2024/25 school year will be forthcoming. Immediate and strict compliance is expected.”
At Thursday's education board meeting, all four of the appointed members in attendance asked questions about, and expressed support for, Walters' plans to distribute Bibles to every classroom in Oklahoma.
But one Bible fits perfectly: Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the U.S.A. Bible, endorsed by former President Donald Trump and commonly referred to as the Trump Bible. They cost $60 each online, with Trump receiving fees for his endorsement.
Mardel doesn’t carry the God Bless the U.S.A. Bible or another Bible that could meet the specifications,
