Senator James Lankford (R-OK) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the Bible should be “taught in schools” as a historical document and cultural document.
Host Dana Bash said, “I do want to ask about something that’s going on now in the Texas School Board, which voted this week to incentivize public schools to use an optional curriculum that incorporates Bible lessons. It began earlier this year in your home state of Oklahoma, which required schools to have Bible in classes and include the Ten Commandments and lessons. You are a pastor, you are a public official, both of these issues are very near and dear to your heart. Do you think it’s appropriate to incorporate religion into public education like that?”
