Recently, the Oklahoma Supreme Court made a troubling decision: temporarily
blocking the implementation of a Bible curriculum in public schools. The program is
designed to educate students on the historical and literary significance of Scripture—
something that has shaped Western civilization and our American founding more than
any other text.
Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters' initiative to integrate the Bible into public
education reflects a commendable acknowledgment of the Bible's historical
significance. The Bible has undeniably played a pivotal role in the development of
Western civilization, informing the moral compass and legal systems that underpin our
nation. By introducing students to its teachings, educators offer invaluable context for
understanding the roots of our societal values and legal structure. For generations, the
Bible was a central part of American education. Our Founders quoted it freely.
Presidents referenced it. Communities were built on its moral clarity. Today, however,
even the mention of Scripture in the public square is met with resistance. This is not
neutrality—it’s hostility toward faith.
As a Christian organization committed to faith, truth, and liberty, we believe this is more
than a court battle. It’s a cultural battle over whether faith will continue to have a voice
in public life. The Bible is not a threat to education—it’s a vital part of it. We must not let
fear of offense rob our children of the opportunity to understand the very foundation
of our values and freedoms.
Now is the time to pray, stay informed, and speak out. Stand with Oklahoma parents,
educators, and leaders who still believe in the power of God’s Word to inform minds
and shape hearts.
