As a born and raised Oklahoman this is not what the schools in my state need they need more funding, more teachers, more ACTUAL learning materials not bibles😒
Sound like the Orange Man's endorsed God Bless America Bible that has the Constitution in it. Ignoring the obvious conflict in who that benefits. I'd anyone aware of any investigation on the accuracy of the Constitution in those?
1. Hey we got Bibles in school!
2. ah man, nobody is reading the Bibles.
3. New law: Bible Study class is required!
4. Uh, we don't have time for new class.
5. Duh, we eliminate social studies. or history.
The Bible creates so many existential questions. Now you have teachers without theological backgrounds in positions to provide “guidance” and lessons? Absurd.
trump bibles, I’m sure. It’s a money laundering scheme. Whatever happened to presidents having to sell their businesses? We can’t convict a president because it’s a rule but we also can’t make one sign ethics pledges or submit his tax return? Those are rules too…
When y'all ask what happens to the money allocated for schools by state governments. This is where it's going. (Unless it's being given to retired football players.) Why not use that money for supplies for the classroom so that teachers don't have to buy Crayons out of pocket?
There aren’t a plethora of Oklahomans that think this is a problem. There’s only 4 million people in the state and Tulsa King is just a TV show. You can’t even get any gabagool there.
I'd put money on them being able to get them donated if they didn't write the statute in order to directly financially benefit Trump. so the question is, will a single Republican question it?
The last thing they will get is indoctrination if kids actually read the Bible. The Bible wouldn’t meet the requirements for most book bans. All that guy is doing is wasting money trying to curry favor with Trump.
So let me get this straight: a Bible that now also contains the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution WITHOUT the 11th-27th Amendments will be used in ADVANCED Placement GOVERNMENT classes?
This whole sentence hurts my brain. "Bibles purchases for PUBLIC schools"... What ever happened to the idea of putting your child in a PRIVATE, faith based school if you wanted religious education for your kid.
what ever happened to The separation of church and state... It's cool to believe whatever you want, but individuals do not need to force those beliefs on others... Shit's fucked up.
I live in OKC & my kids don't even have soap and toilet paper in the bathroom 4 out of 5 days. I provide them enough each day to use because the schools can't. Also the water in the water fountains are yellow. So yes, the money could have been used better.
I believe they set “guidelines” on what the Bible had to have and not surprisingly the Trump Bible was the only one of 2500+ commercially available that met them. They aren’t even trying to hide the grift anymore.
I'm sure they're the original, since they're allegedly for historical significance. You know, the Hebrew Tanach (Torah, Prophets, and Writings). Anything else is ahistorical. :)
I once had a job interview at Oklahoma State University. I was told the first question people would ask me is "how many kids do you have and what church do you attend?" It's the heart of the Bible belt. And I didn't get the job but would have turned it down anyway after hearing that.
I'm assuming they can and will and will win. A lot of this is performative to get the headlines out so even if it never happens the headline was still pushed
He says that students' religious liberties are under attack and made a video of himself where he prays for trump and is requiring it to be shown to all students in Oklahoma. Imagine if some democrat made a video praying for Biden or Harris and demanded it be shown to all students.
I love how it's somehow all of a sudden cool to force Christianity on people. People don't want to be fucking conservatives, conservatives need to learn this.
Your religion is your problem, don't make it mine. We're not bad people, just their God ain't my God
I've got family in Okla so I've been watching this guy for a while. He thinks the "separation of church and state" is a misreading of the intent. He has been waiting for this opportunity and with the election is going full steam ahead with his plans.
Dont teachers have to buy their own supplies most of the time as there’s not enough funding 🤔
You’re just gonna have qualified teachers quit, replaced by religious indoctrinators. China will overtake the USA on education & as leading superpower even further. Putin will ❤️ it
Isn't this the thinly veiled money laundering thing? Where there are certain specifications for the bibles allowed, and it just so happens the only bibles that meet them are those being sold by Trump?
So strange. If they actually read the book, they'd ban it. It's simultaneously horrifying in its graphic brutality (infanticide, genocide, incest & all manners of horribleness are easily found in the OT) AND the NT is full-on woke.

2) they'll never get to the New Testament
3) if they do, they'll never get to Matthew 22:36-40
When Oklahoma is one of the poorest states; and already having serious miscalculations within their funding.

Thou shalt have no other gods before Trump
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image unless it's Trump as Rambo
Remember the sabbath. Ozzy rocks.
Thou shalt not kill unless you're getting even for DEI
Thou can commit adultery
Thou shall steal
It's a way to funnel tax dollars to Trump while making it clear what their ideology is to those in the state.
Between this shit and AI? Skilled labor is about to go bye bye in the USA.
Teaching Bible in Science classes is a sure winner, eventually. But MS and AL can do that, too.
Traditional competitors like Kentucky and New Mexico and Alaska can't be ruled out, either.
It's a heavily contested race!
