OSDE changes requirements in Bible request
SUMMARY: The Oklahoma State Department of Education is updating its requirements for vendors supplying 55,000 Bibles to public schools. The new guidelines require that the Pledge of Allegiance, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, and Constitution can be included in the Bibles or provided separately, deviating from the original proposal that mandated these documents be bound within the Bible itself to correspond with the “God Bless the USA” Bible. Former President Donald Trump has endorsed this $3 million initiative.

Parent opt-out forms against state superintendent
SUMMARY: A controversy surrounds Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters regarding his directives involving religion in classrooms, which has sparked backlash from parents and school administrators. In response, the nonprofit Defense of Democracy has created opt-out forms for parents who want to shield their children from Walters’ policies, including a recent prayer video and a mandate to incorporate the Bible into instruction. Many parents express concern over the shift from educational focus to ideological issues. While most schools reportedly won’t share the prayer video, Walters defends his actions as a stand against state-sponsored atheism.
