God Bless the USA' Bibles being distributed in Oklahoma schools are missing 17 amendments. [View all]
Copies of the Donald Trump-endorsed “God Bless the U.S.A.” Bibles currently being distributed in Oklahoma classrooms are missing amendments 11th to 27th, according to a report.
The Trump Bible uses the King James text, takes its name from the patriotic country song by Lee Greenwood, and also includes the Constitution of the United States, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and the Pledge of Allegiance as additional content.
However, the version being introduced in the Sooner state’s schools will not enable students to learn about the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery, the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote, or the 22nd Amendment, which limits a president to two terms in the White House

Being an atheist seems I am butting in here a bit but come on.
