After nearly three hours of oral arguments Wednesday, an Oklahoma County district judge said he isn't ready to rule on a legal challenge to the state's controversial social studies standards.

A group of Oklahoma parents and advocates has released a waiver for material championed by State Superintendent Ryan Walters, but the state department says it is not enforceable.

State Superintendent Ryan Walters and the Oklahoma State Department of Education have filed a federal lawsuit against the Freedom From Religion Foundation, escalating a long-standing conflict over religion in public schools.

Oklahoma Democratic lawmakers filed House and Senate Joint Resolutions Monday to reject controversial proposed social studies academic standards.

Senate Bill 10 passed late Wednesday on a party-line vote. Democrats condemned the measure as unconstitutional and a threat to religious liberty.

The group of 30 parents, teachers and faith leaders say the campaign is a new way of trying to foist Bibles onto public school classrooms after his previous attempt was paused.

The Oklahoma Supreme Court stayed State Superintendent Ryan Walters’ request for proposals for Bibles and Biblical instructional materials for Oklahoma classrooms.
