Oklahoma Teachers who won’t teach Bible could lose license

Oklahoma educators who refuse to teach about the Bible may lose their teaching licenses, according to Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters.

Walters issued a memo requiring schools to teach students in grades five through 12 about the Bible’s influence on America’s founding and historical figures, and to stock a Bible in every classroom.

Teachers who do not comply could face license revocation, subject to a vote by the Oklahoma State Board of Education, which Walters chairs.

The mandate has been criticized by civil liberties and religious groups, including the Jewish Federation of Tulsa and the Oklahoma chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, who argue that it promotes Christianity in schools.

Americans United for Separation of Church and State accused Walters of imposing his religious beliefs on students, NBC News has reported.
