In mid-June, Louisiana passed a law that requires every classroom to post the Ten Commandments. Two weeks later, Oklahoma’s Superintendent Ryan Walters ordered that the Bible be incorporated as part of the fifth through twelfth-grade public school curriculum. He said the Bible could be referred to “as an appropriate study of history, civilization, ethics, [and] comparative religion[s].” Both policies reflect a move to instill moral instruction in our public schools. Today’s children are growing up in a morally confused culture. And leaders in Oklahoma and Louisiana are reintroducing the Bible as a moral authority, which has longed shaped our personal ethics and public institutions.
