Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters orders schools to teach the Bible
SUMMARY
Oklahoma has taken a significant step to preserving American values by mandating the teaching of the Bible in schools and requiring a copy in every classroom, as announced by Superintendent Ryan Walters. Effective immediately, students in grades 5-12 will study the Bible's historical influence on the nation's founders and the Constitution. Walters stressed the importance of this educational move, stating it ensures a solid historical foundation for students. This decision aligns with Walters' broader agenda to integrate Christian principles into education, which has received support from Governor Kevin Stitt. The new regulations not only include Bible teachings but also introduce time for prayer in schools and recognize the existence of a "Creator."
