To provide this requirement, Sooner Standards is creating content. The content provides the bible as a historical reference influencing United States foundation and continues to provide evidence and “will be referenced as an appropriate study of history, civilization, ethics, comparative religion, or the like, as well as for their substantial influence on our nation’s founders and the foundational principles of our Constitution. This is not merely an educational directive but a crucial step in ensuring our students grasp the core values and historical context of our country.” – Memorandum
