    Having it be required to be a Bible with the Bill of Rights, with the First Amendment, written inside the Bible is just fucking… I don’t even know what the word is. Just so fitting and so evil and so Insidious and so on brand.

      Specifically a Protestant Bible. In fact, not just a Protestant Bible, but one that only some Protestants use.

      If these guys ever take over completely, the religious wars are not going to be pretty.

    The corruption is so thick you can cut it with a knife and spread it on some bread. Stealing from tax payers to give to some rich grifter. Forcing religion down kids throats. Walters is showing his fine Christian values.

    Defends is a strong word. The meat of the article:

    A spokesperson for Walters’s office told The Hill that “it would be inappropriate to comment while bids are being placed” for who will supply the bibles for Oklahoma classrooms.

    “We are excited to bring back the Bible in its essential historical and literary context to Oklahoma classrooms. Superintendent Walters has committed the agency to an open and transparent RFP process, consistent with the norms for state procurement, that will be adequate to meet the needs of Oklahoma classrooms. There are hundreds of Bible publishers and we expect a robust competition for this proposal,” the spokesperson said.
