All Oklahoma schools are required to incorporate the Bible and the Ten Commandments in their curriculums, effective immediately, the state's top education official announced in a memorandum Thursday. "The Bible is a necessary historical document to teach our kids about the history of this country, to have a complete understanding of Western civilization, to have an understanding of the basis of our legal system," Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters said. The memo follows a law enacted in Louisiana last week that requires all public classrooms to display the Ten Commandments. A group of Louisiana parents and civil rights organizations is suing the state over the new law, saying it violates both Supreme Court precedent and the First Amendment.
