This man appears to want Trump Bibles, not inhalers, for Oklahoma's children

Two stories this week that are bad on their own become intolerable when seen in tandem.

They both involve Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters. Walters is a far-right figure, even in Oklahoma, and his actions this week show how that comes at the expense — quite literally — of children.

The story that’s gotten traction over the past few days is a Request for Proposal (RFP) that went out this Monday, Sept. 30, looking to award a contract for “the purchase of 55,000 King James Version Bibles with The United States Pledge of Allegiance, The U.S. Declaration of Independence, The U.S. Constitution, and The U.S. Bill of Rights documents included.“

Yes, it’s capital “B” Bad on its face. But, that’s not all. First, that is not all that the RFP requires:

What a disgrace, sorry I ever met him, even though my contact with him was limited.
