When the education superintendent of Oklahoma, Ryan Walters, ordered this year that every public school classroom in the state must have a Bible in the classroom, he didn’t mention any special requirements.
But bid specifications for the Bibles, released this week, contain several narrowly drawn and unusual details. They must, for example, include text of the Pledge of Allegiance, the U.S. Constitution and other historical documents not normally included in the Bible.
What Bible fits the bill? The country music star Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the U.S.A. Bible, which is endorsed by former President Donald J. Trump and costs $60, far above the average price for Bibles.
You can buy bibles for 3 bucks...G*d bless the USA, and its legions of rubes...
[[[Simon & Schuster]]] is mad they got aced out.
You can teach students how to read, write and do arithmetic with a 50 cent piece of chalk too.
You don't need millions of dollars worth of high tech equipment and millions of feet worth of cabling to do that.
That stuff has proven to make people more stupid.
