Tuesday, October 8, 2024 11:49AMOklahoma's top education official is seeking to purchase 55,000 Bibles for public schools and specifying that each copy contain the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution, which are not commonly found in Bibles but are included in one endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
The nonprofit news outlet Oklahoma Watch first reported Thursday that the requirements match the "God Bless the USA Bible" that Trump urged his supporters to begin buying earlier this year at a website that sells the book for $59.99. 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.
