(2/2) "We are bringing Bibles to every Oklahoma classroom this fall. Students can’t fully understand the history of America if we don’t know the role the Bible played. I am unapologetic about that." Oklahoma's State Superintendent, Ryan Walters #oklaed

My public comment contained some praise; for instance, for inclusion of gerrymandering in Government standards. Then OSBOE approved standards in February, and in early March, our fears returned because the standards were significantly altered post public comment. (2/2) #oklaed

The 14th amendment superseded Article 1, Section 2, and repealed the 3/5 Compromise. Presenting the original language without the 14th amendment & without comment is tantamount to an endorsement of slavery. This is Trump’s Bible. This is Ryan Walters’ Bible. (2/2) #oklaed

White southern churches were forced to completely rethink biblical slavery, while still holding firm to strict categories of racial hierarchy they viewed as biblical. The resentment in these church traditions over this forced shift is still evident today. (4/4) #oklaed

Southern enslavers used scripture from Ephesians, Colossians, 1 Peter, & the Old Testament to preach the virtues of institutional slavery. The 13th amendment was a direct assault on the White southern Christian worldview & understanding of the Bible.
