CNN anchor presses superintendent who ordered schools to show video of him leading prayer

President-elect Trump has repeatedly vowed to abolish the Department of Education .

That call has been echoed by Oklahoma 's top educator, state Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters .

Walters is requiring that all public schools in the state show students that video, which includes him leading a prayer for president-elect Donald Trump .

Walters also announced the purchase of 500 Bibles for use in classrooms across the state.

The Bible was what drove so much of so many of the consequential events in American history.

President Trump has a clear mandate. Our kids have to understand what made America great in the 1st place. If the left continues to censor the Bible from our history classes, listen, the left doesn't have to like it. They can be offended by it, but we've got to teach history to our young people.

Critics say the money that you're spending on the Bible , I'm putting Bibles in every classroom you've asked for, $6 million , should be spent in other ways to better educate the students.

What do you say to that? We are in the middle of a turn around here because we are following President Trump 's agenda.
