Oklahoma's state education department is seeking bids for the procurement of 55,000 Bibles to be used in public school classrooms, with reports suggesting that only those endorsed by Donald Trump meet the specific requirements outlined in the bidding process. The move, estimated to cost around $3.3 million, has raised eyebrows and sparked controversy, as critics allege that the process appears to be rigged to favor a Bible closely associated with Trump. Civil rights groups and concerned citizens are voicing their opposition to the decision, questioning the source of the funding and the appropriateness of using taxpayer money for a religious text that critics call a 'shameless grift.' Despite the backlash, state officials, including Superintendent Ryan Walters, have vowed to move forward with the initiative, insisting that the Trump-endorsed versions align with the new Oklahoma curriculum mandate.
