Oklahoma Wants Trump Bible In Every Public School Classroom

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

67% : Mardel doesn't carry the God Bless the U.S.A. Bible or another Bible that could meet the specifications, the We The People Bible, which was also endorsed by Trump.
63% : They cost $60 each online, with Trump receiving fees for his endorsement.
54% : At first Walters mostly talked about getting prayer back in public schools (which is constitutionally problematic) and displaying the Ten Commandments prominently, but then he turned to a crusade to place Bibles in every classroom so that teachers could share the Good Book's many virtues with every student.
50% : As an appointed secretary of education in the administration of hard-right Governor Kevin Stitt, and then as elected state school superintendent, Walters has been quite the zealot in fighting the alleged menace of wokeness in his deeply conservative state, as a recent profile explained:In selfie videos from his car, Walters denounces "woke ideology" and frequently accuses teachers of pushing a radical agenda based on atheism, racial justice and gender identity.
43% : And as noted above, Walters believes church-state separation is a "liberal myth," so why not go full God and Country by placing American civic documents right in there before Genesis?You can buy most Bible editions for next to nothing, but the specific book of scripture Walters is insisting on will cost a lot more.
31% : So Walters wants to waste a lot of money not simply to thumb his nose at church-state separation, but to ensure the Oklahoma's children consume their divine guidance in overt MAGA packaging, with Trump himself quite possibly getting a bit of the take.
