'Trump Bible' one of few that meet Walters' criteria for Oklahoma classrooms
www.oklahoman.com
Bibles endorsed by former President Donald Trump cost $60 each online, with Trump receiving fees for his endorsement.

Bids opened Monday for a contract to supply the state Department of Education with 55,000 Bibles. According to the bid documents, vendors must meet certain specifications: Bibles must be the King James Version; must contain the Old and New Testaments; must include copies of the Pledge of Allegiance, Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights; and must be bound in leather or leather-like material.

A salesperson at Mardel Christian & Education searched, and though they carry 2,900 Bibles, none fit the parameters.

But one Bible fits perfectly: Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the U.S.A. Bible, endorsed by former President Donald Trump and commonly referred to as the Trump Bible. They cost $60 each online, with Trump receiving fees for his endorsement.

    The Bible is really important for understanding western society and it’s history. It has a place in the classroom.

    I’m sure that was not the motivation behind that law but it’s true.

      There are history books that can contextually bring our students up to speed on what religious texts drove certain events/societies.

      You’re not wrong but, thankfully, studying history and teaching the impact of things doesn’t require the things to physically be in the room.
