With the 3 million they would save buying the cheaper bibles(something they shouldn't be doing either) they could wash a lot of men's feet. They could be teaching all these students how to fish. That is their job after all.
Why would any school want a Bible that doesn't also have the Declaration and Constitution? It's a perfectly logical requirement, and it's not Trump's fault so few others are making them.
Did you drop this: /s
No, because the sarcasm was so obvious that a doorstop would get it.

On the other hand, some of us couldn't give less of a shit if people don't realize we're being sarcastic.

When at least 30% of people would post that without any sarcasm intended it is absolutely needed. Sorry bud, but that is the world we're living in now.

Forcing your State to buy 55000 Bibles from ONLY Trump is PROOF that DEMOCRATS are the Swamp!
Scam to shovel taxpayer dollars to Trump.
Specifically created for the grift.
Walters is a piece of shit.
people still read the KJV?
and like, not as some sort of masochistic snoodery?
It's public domain so they don't have to pay for the copyright of a modern translation.

Some denominations do believe that only the KJV is the correct English translation. Many of those people do not understand what the words actually mean. They interpret the text very narrowly and frequently are told by others what interpretation is correct.
They also don't know that King James was gay. And it pleases me to inform them.
Which the whole symbolism of the temple veil being torn when Jesus carked on the cross was meant to mean there was no need for anyone (the clergy) to do that or to intercede.
