We will continue to do all that we can to make sure Oklahoma students have the best education possible."OKLAHOMA SUPERINTENDENT SPARS WITH CNN HOST OVER BIBLES IN SCHOOLS: LIBERALS 'DON'T HAVE TO LIKE IT'Walters faced some criticism for his announcement, particularly from Democrats."Listening to conservative radio host Chad Alexander.
