    It’s nice to see Oklahoma has resolved all their school supply shortages and have excess funds available. Perhaps they should issue state rebates back to the taxpayers. Edit: spelling

    Total bullshit in multiple dimensions and it should never even be considered. That said, as a former bible student turned atheist, if they’re going to have bibles in school a good option would be NRSV, or the funny option would be The Cotton Patch bible.

    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

      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.

      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.”

    Aren’t there a zillion constitutional lawsuits pending on this? Even if they get the bullshit “state’s rights” treatments, why isn’t there a ballot vote on this yet?

    Don’t worry, kids will make sure these bibles are not colored in and trashed in a variety of ways.

    I think it’s some 3 million dollars they’re going to spend on these? At least it’s nice to know they will certainly be spending a similar amount on Qurans and whatnot /s
