The superintendent of Bixby Public Schools in Oklahoma, Rob Miller, has announced that his schools will not implement a new mandate requiring the Bible to be taught in classrooms, despite the state’s directive. The mandate also requires physical copies of the Bible, the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Ten Commandments in every classroom. Miller argues that the mandate violates the Oklahoma Constitution’s separation of church and state and believes it diminishes religious texts to mere classroom props. He also expresses concerns about the mandate’s clarity and its impact on religious freedom. As of now, no Oklahoma school districts have committed to following the mandate.
