Oklahoma State Superintendent criticizes districts for not including Bible in curriculum.

Some districts are not responding well to Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters' directive to incorporate the Bible into the public school curriculum.

In Oklahoma, eight large districts are opposing the requirement, with some criticizing it while others support it, according to reports.

On "Fox & Friends Weekend," Walters delivered a message intended for specific districts.

"These woke administrators will face consequences if they disregard the law and fail to teach it. In Oklahoma schools, we prioritize ensuring that history is taught," he stated on "Fox & Friends Weekend" on Sunday.

"We are ensuring that teachers have access to resources to teach concepts that the left has excluded from schools. We have distributed guidelines last week to ensure that every teacher understands the historical references and their locations in our standards. Our goal is to make sure our kids in Oklahoma understand American history better than any other state, and we are providing a roadmap for other states to follow."

According to the directive, U.S. history and the Founding Fathers lessons in Oklahoma schools must include the Bible's influence.

Each classroom has a Bible to use for instruction.

Walters insisted the requirement has support from parents across the state.

"Three years ago, when I ran, the rights we have were crystal clear. Why are we not teaching our kids that our rights come from God? Why are we not referencing the unbelievable moments in American history where the Bible was cited? It is part of our history," he said.

He stated, "Our children must comprehend the history of this nation and what made it exceptional initially, and we will not permit the ACLU and teachers' unions to undermine our schools and assert, 'No mention of God or the Bible, even though it was one of the most frequently referenced books in American history.'"

Earlier this year, Louisiana faced controversy similar to what it is currently experiencing after passing a law mandating the display of the Ten Commandments in every public school classroom.
