Former Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson, a Democrat, said the bid "does not pass the smell test" and said a court could void it if the process was found to limit competition.Walters in June ordered public schools to incorporate the Bible into lessons for grades 5 through 12. The bidding documents also specify that the Bibles include both the Old Testament and New Testament, the Pledge of Allegiance and the Bill of Rights.
