Oklahoma State Superintendent Lindel Fields announced Wednesday he will reverse several initiatives launched by former Superintendent Ryan Walters, including a Bible distribution plan now tied up in court.
Fields said his immediate plan includes filing a motion to dismiss an ongoing lawsuit and halting Walters’ proposal to “distribute Bibles or a Biblical character education curriculum in classrooms,” according to the Oklahoma State Department of Education.

Seems like this is just AI generated, likely from jumbling up another papers reporting.
AI rehashing wouldn’t normally do that, at least not if it generates the article in one go. In my experience this is from multiple editing passes and no review.
