School Bibles

Bibles in Schools:  Oklahoma is expected to submit a proposal to purchase some 55,000 Bibles which will be placed in public schools.  As a point of interest, it seems that eh proposal will only allow for Trump produced Bibles to qualify for purchase.

I wasn't aware there was a Trump produced bible. Even if the Trump produced bibles are the standard King James version,what kind of an idiot would make that kind of demand. Is there something that prohibits a student from bringing his own bible if that is something that is important to him/her.

It sounds as if these bibles are endorsed not produced by Trump but endorsed. Big difference in meaning but still is out of line for public schools

On the matter of Bibles:

*  Is the New King James Bible allowed, which has generally replaced the original King James Bible?

*  So, an approved Roman Catholic Bible is not allowed.

*  Bibles in the native language of people who speak other than English are not allowed.

 * Bibles that are written in a simple English for people who speak another language are not allowed.

*  In general, this seems to be to constitute a violation of the religious rights of various people.
