Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters, Lee Greenwood Partner for Bible Donations in Classrooms

Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters, in partnership with singer Lee Greenwood, aims to distribute 'God Bless the USA' Bibles to classrooms across Oklahoma after a $3 million funding request was denied by state lawmakers. Walters and Greenwood are promoting donations to provide these Bibles, which include historical documents like the Constitution, as part of an initiative to enrich students' understanding of American principles. Despite opposition from the Oklahoma legislature, Walters continues to push for the inclusion of Bibles in schools, which he argues are influential in American history. The proposed distribution has sparked legal and political controversy, particularly regarding the separation of church and state. Walters is facing ongoing lawsuits and is involved in a related Supreme Court case about religious charter schools. The campaign has received support from former President Trump, adding further national attention to the initiative.
