Yep
September's Oklahoma State Board of Education meeting, Walters requested an additional $3 million (for a total of $6 million) to purchase New King James Version Bibles. But when bids opened last week for 55,000 bibles, the specs had changed. According to the request for proposal (RFP), "only the King James Version" qualifies, and it "must include copies of The United States Pledge of Allegiance, The U.S. Declaration of Independence, The U.S. Constitution, and The U.S. Bill of Rights." Oh, and the Bible "must be bound in leather or leather-like material."The Oklahoman reported on Friday, that none of the 2,900 Bibles carried by Mardel Christian Bookstore meet Walters' qualifications. But the Trump-endorsed "God Bless the USA" Bible fits the bill like a grift-lined glove. A second Bible that fits the RFP was also identified: the We the People Bible, endorsed by Donald Trump Jr., available for $90.Beyond the obvious church-state issues, which are already working their way through the courts, there is some murky math here. The author and YouTuber Hemant Mehta (known online as the Friendly Atheist) has tracked Walters for years; he points out that the superintendent's request for $6 million to buy 55,000 Bibles breaks down to about $140 per Bible.

$60 is the retail price, which no one pays. Buying in bulk means deep discounting. A school would also not get the leather bound version, so then it's even cheaper.

Yup
Beyond the obvious church-state issues, which are already working their way through the courts, there is some murky math here.

(Oklahoma has only about 43,000 classroom teachers.)
