The Oklahoma Supreme Court has dismissed a lawsuit challenging a mandate requiring that the Bible be taught in schools after state education officials said the mandate will not be enforced.
In a 6-2 decision released Monday, the court declared the issue moot after state education officials said they are nullifying 2024 mandates issued by Ryan Walters, the former state superintendent who resigned earlier this year, according to the Oklahoma Voice. In June and July 2024, Walters issued directives requiring that Oklahoma schools incorporate the Bible into the curriculum for grades 5 through 12.
