Oklahoma Leads Conservative Charge With Bible’s Return To Classrooms
Conservatives in Oklahoma are celebrating a major win as state Superintendent Ryan Walters reintroduces the Bible to classrooms. The initiative, which starts with Advanced Placement government courses, represents a strong stand against the leftist push to secularize education.
Walters announced the program in a video on X, stating, “The Bible is back in Oklahoma’s classrooms. We are getting our kids back on track.” He plans to expand the program to include a Bible in every classroom across the state.
The program has faced opposition from groups like the ACLU, who argue it violates the separation of church and state. Walters, however, defended the move, highlighting the Bible’s profound impact on American history. “The Bible has had a critical influence on American history,” Walters explained.
As part of the initiative, Walters also plans to provide classrooms with key American documents, including the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence, to give students a deeper understanding of the nation’s founding values.
The program, which has cost $25,000 so far, aligns with the beliefs of Oklahoma’s Christian majority, where 79% of residents identify with the faith. Walters has committed up to $6 million to ensure every classroom is equipped with these resources.
This bold move demonstrates a growing conservative resistance to leftist secular policies and a renewed effort to bring faith-based values back into education. Walters’ leadership is paving the way for a resurgence of traditional principles in American schools.
