So, Mr Oklahoma State Superintendent of Schools, which Bible must now be taught to all students?
The Roman Catholic one? Protestant one? Those other ones?
Which translation? Jerome’s Vulgate? The king James? NIV? NRSV? CEB? Or the other hundreds of translations out there? Which one will be the “authorized” version for Oklahoma school kids?
Translations?!??! 
no! 
no! no! The Bible should be taught using original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek texts!
The Dead Sea Scrolls should be framed and and in each room for students to study during breaks. Advanced classes could also learn Coptic, Nabatean and Arabic to study other texts from there and from Nag Hammadi library, for a greater insight into gnostic and other Christian and Judaic thought.
Religion shouldn't be easy!
