🔴 Oklahoma seeks to buy 55,000 Bibles – exactly like the ones Trump is hawking
"The request is part of Republican state superintendent Ryan Walters’ ongoing efforts to require Bibles in every classroom, which has been met with resistance by some of Oklahoma’s largest school districts.
Walters is seeking to spend $3m in state funds for Bibles that fit a certain criteria, including that the pages are supplemented with US historical materials. The Bibles must also be “bound in leather or leather-like material for durability”, according to state bidding documents posted this week."

@bibliolater @religion Does anybody know what the supposed reason is? To put some in every school? To give one to each student/teacher/staff asking for one? (I know, yes, it looks like the real reason is to pad some guy's bank account, but they surely can't say that out loud.)
