In a move celebrated by conservatives, Oklahoma state Superintendent Ryan Walters has announced the return of the Bible to classrooms. This initiative marks a significant victory in the fight to restore faith-based values to education and counter the leftist policies that have dominated the public school system.
Walters revealed that over 500 Bibles have been purchased for Advanced Placement government classes, with plans to expand the program. “The Bible is back in Oklahoma’s classrooms,” Walters declared. “We are getting our kids back on track.”
This decision has faced backlash from liberal groups, including the ACLU, who argue the initiative violates the separation of church and state. Walters dismissed these criticisms, asserting the Bible’s undeniable impact on American history and culture. “The Bible has had a critical influence on American history,” Walters said, emphasizing its role in providing students with a well-rounded education.
Alongside the Bible, Walters’ plan includes supplying classrooms with foundational American documents like the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. This initiative reflects a broader conservative effort to ensure students understand the values upon which the nation was built.
The program, which has cost $25,000 so far, may expand to a $6 million investment to include every classroom in the state. With 79% of Oklahomans identifying as Christian, this move aligns with the state’s values and counters the secularism pushed by leftist activists.
Walters’ leadership and unwavering support for President-elect Donald Trump highlight a renewed determination to bring faith and patriotism back into the classroom. This initiative serves as a powerful example of the conservative pushback against the godless agenda shaping education.
