Top Oklahoma education official issues directive to include Bible in public school lessons
With[out] Bible lessons, “Oklahoma students are unable to properly contextualize the foundation of our nation which is why Oklahoma educational standards provide for its instruction.”
Oklahoma’s top education official issued a directive to public school officials on Thursday to include the Bible in lessons for grades 5 through 12.
Republican State Superintendent Ryan Walters said that “immediate and strict compliance is expected” from public schools.
“The Bible is an indispensable historical and cultural touchstone,” he said in a statement, according to the Associated Press. “Without basic knowledge of it, Oklahoma students are unable to properly contextualize the foundation of our nation which is why Oklahoma educational standards provide for its instruction.”

Texas Lt. Gov. Patrick vows to again pass bill to display Ten Commandments in public schools
Louisiana became the first state on Wednesday to require all public school classrooms display the Ten Commandments.
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) vowed to again pass a state Senate bill to have the Ten Commandments displayed in public schools after Louisiana became the first state to require their display in public schools.
On Thursday, Patrick posted on X, “Texas WOULD have been and SHOULD have been the first state in the nation to put the 10 Commandments back in our schools. Last session the Texas Senate passed Senate Bill 1515, by Sen. Phil King on April 20th and sent it over to the House, to do what Louisiana just did.”

Good for Ryan Walters. He’s under a LOT of heat here in OK for all sorts of asinine stuff. I figure he must be over the target.
