A group of Oklahoma parents, teachers, and religious leaders have filed a lawsuit against State Superintendent Ryan Walters, challenging his mandate to place Bibles in every public school classroom. The plaintiffs argue that the mandate violates the separation of church and state and could infringe on the religious freedoms of students and teachers. The case has been brought to the Oklahoma Supreme Court, where the group is seeking to block the use of state funds for the purchase of Bibles. The controversy has sparked a broader debate about the role of religion in public education.
