Oklahoma Schools Chief Flaunts Purchase Of Trump Bibles In Bid To Be Named US Education Secretary
The Oklahoman reports:
State schools Superintendent Ryan Walters said Thursday that more than 500 Bibles had been purchased for Oklahoma public school classrooms. The purchase was separate from a prior request for proposal issued by the Oklahoma Department of Education for 55,000 Bibles.
The announcement — which did not provide specific details about how the Bibles were procured or how much the books cost — is the latest in a flurry of moves by Walters as he works to elevate his national profile.
Republican President-elect Donald Trump is quickly filling out his incoming Cabinet, and Walters’ name has been mentioned by some national news outlets as a potential pick for education secretary or adviser. Both Trump and Walters have called for the U.S. Department of Education to be abolished.
