Oklahoma has sent out guidance to the state’s public school districts on how teachers should incorporate the Bible into classroom lessons.

In guidelines issued on July 24, Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters instructs teachers to focus on the significant role the Bible has played in the development of Western civilization and American history, its value as a piece of literature, and how biblical stories inspired some of the greatest works of art and music known today.
