Several schools in Oklahoma are opposing State Superintendent Ryan Walters’ directive to integrate the Bible into public school lessons for grades 5 through 12. Walters’ mandate, announced on June 27, requires that every classroom have a Bible and include it in teaching, citing the need for students to understand the Bible’s impact on American values and history. The directive has faced strong criticism from civil liberties groups and the Oklahoma Education Association, who argue it violates religious freedom. In response, several Oklahoma schools have declared they will maintain their current curricula and not implement Walters’ guidelines.
