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.
