    A grift in broad daylight.

    The “requirements”:

    • a Bible that is bound by leather or material like leather
    • has the Pledge of Allegiance, Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights
    • is the New King James version of the Old and New Testament
    • has no commentary

      has the Pledge of Allegiance, Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights

      Why does a bible need these things?

            The rules are written explicitly to cater to Trump’s edition so they will be forced to buy only Trump’s edition. Meaning they can now fund Trump’s nazi grift using Oklahoma taxpayer funds legally.

            It’s a way to funnel public money directly to Trump and his campaign.

          They’re putting these in schools to try to tear down the separation of church and state.

          It fits two purposes:

          • grift for Trump payments with state funds
          • keeping kids dumb so they stay republican later

        I’m in sales and have seen the strategy discussed where if you’re trying to sell a product to an institution with a formal bidding process to coach your contact to draw up requirements which only your product can meet.

      I’d respect it more if it was just said right up front, “funding to the god-emperor by stealing from our children’s education.”

      Is there a known beforehand contractor to provide these with a markup? I guess there’s a shade of a simple local grift too.

      I guess the satanic temple could print an edition that matches those requirements and undercut Trump by like a dollar.
