Oklahoma is soliciting bids for Bible suppliers to provide their wares for the state’s education department – and the specific requirements fit Bibles endorsed by former President Donald Trump. The Bible parameters laid out in the state superintendent for public instruction’s request for proposals (RFP)– including containing the Pledge of Allegiance and the Declaration of Independence – are a match for musician Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the USA Bible. The RFP requirements also say that the Bibles must have the Old and New Testaments, and include copies of the US Constitution. According to Oklahoma Watch, the parameters for the bid effectively exclude thousands of Bibles. The request for proposals document was first reported by Oklahoma Watch in The Oklahoman on Friday. Greenwood is best known as the musician behind “God Bless the USA,” a song that’s become a staple at Trump rallies. The Bibles sell for $60 online and, through his endorsement, the former president receives some of the proceeds, according to Oklahoma Watch. Another Bible that meets the requirements, the We The People Bible, costs $90 each. That version was also endorsed by Trump.
