Three days after Oklahoma鈥檚 state superintendent, Ryan Walters, directed every teacher in the state鈥檚 public schools to teach the Bible this summer, he walked onstage to a standing ovation.
鈥淲e鈥檙e incredibly proud to be the first state in the country to put the Bible back in the classrooms,鈥 Mr. Walters told the crowd at Sheridan Church, a large evangelical congregation in Tulsa.
The church鈥檚 pastor, Jackson Lahmeyer, who leads the national network Pastors for Trump, also hailed the new rule. 鈥淲e are seeing a miracle take place in our state,鈥 he said, comparing Mr. Walters鈥檚 mandate to the end of Roe v. Wade. 鈥淛ust know that in our books, you鈥檙e a hero, man.鈥
