Oklahoma changes Ryan Walters' proposal to supply 55,000 Bibles to public schools
The changes come after the nonprofit news outlet Oklahoma Watch published a story that chronicled how the Education Department's original request to purchase 55,000 Bibles appeared to be written for a specific copy of the Bible: the Lee Greenwood "God Bless the USA" edition of the Bible, which has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
