That’s not arguing “what should the Bible be.” It’s asking why it should be distributed, why it does not represent people it claims to represent and why it is generating revenue.
It has nothing to do with the contents of the Bible itself. Those are essential questions when it comes to American politics.
Well it just needs to be a King James Quran including the declaration of Independence to meet the criteria. Oh, and leather bound because apparently Oklahoma schools have some budget to burn.
As of September 2024, the average salary for a school teacher in Oklahoma is $48,285 per year
I bet these teachers are thrilled for the nice covers.
Fuck the Trump part.
Why are there Bibles in classrooms?
Are they adding the Quran and Hebrew, Hindu, Buddhist writing, too, as a broad background in world religions?
lol obviously no.
The trump part is the important bit. it’s pure grift to put taxpayer money into orange pockets
The Trump bit is an important part.
State sponsored religion is a more important part. “What are the right specifications for a bible in schools?” isn’t the right question.
It’s a right question. It’s just not the first question.
Question 1: Why are there Bibles required to be in Oklahoma classrooms when that’s a clear First Amendment violation?
Question 2: Why are these Bibles mandated to be the ones that, even when you reduce it to Christianity, only some Christians consider to be accurate?
Question 3: Why is this going to fund the Trump campaign?
If you’re ever arguing over “what should the Bible be”, they already won.
There isn’t a legitimate scenario where you can ask it.

Is the “leather-bound” bit not just to protect against bullets?
would hate to have to buy new bibles the next time the school gets shot up
Fuck both parts
