 Walters announced the policy change at Oklahoma's State Board of Education meeting Thursday, and he spoke more on it afterward. With the mandate today, we're the first state in the country to require the Bible be in every classroom and the Bible be taught from in every classroom. In a memo to school districts and comments to reporters, Walters clarified the mandate will apply in social studies and English and in fifth through 12th grades. He says more guidance is on the way.
