Amendments 11-17? Yeah, really.
The Amendments that abolish slavery and the Women’s right to Vote?

1. And 18-27.

In other words, amendments 11-27.

It includes just the original document and the quickly added addendum, not stuff that trickled in later. Also doesn't include the apocrypha, standard in Catholic Bible (and some others). Probably follows KJV book order and Psalm numbering, not Orthodox or "JBS" ordering and numbering for either.

Then again, if the idea of the social studies standards is to show any effect or parallel between the original founding father's texts and the Bible you'd have both sets of constraints. You'd focus on the original document + 10 and on the Bible known to the majority of the founders, which would have been the KJV--the Bishop's Bible, Geneva Bible, and Tyndale's texts being antiquated and hard to come by in the 1730s ff.

Black Enterprise: Oklahoma School Superintendent Lists ‘Trump Bible’ As One Book That Meets New Classroom Criteria

America is going to hell.

Oklahoma Appleseed Center for Law and Justice Executive Director Colleen McCarty says the RFP seems “fair” but found it odd that there aren’t many Bibles that match the requirements. “We can see there are very few Bibles on the market that would meet these criteria, and all of them have been endorsed by former President Donald Trump,” she said.

However, former Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson thinks the request may violate some laws. “It appears to me that this bid is anything but competitive. It adds to the basic specification other requirements that have nothing to do with the text,” Edmondson said.

“The special binding and inclusion of government documents will exclude almost all bidders. If the bid specs exclude most bidders unnecessarily, I could consider that a violation.”

According to the New Republic, Trump is cashing in on another Bible. The troubled politician signed a different version of Greenwood’s publication and sold it at retail for $1,000 each. Supporters gravitated toward the book because it played on Trump’s campaign, saying, “We must make America pray again.”

4. Why does a Bible have the constitution in it?

I think that’s probably a big no-no to add stuff to the Bible. Isn’t it supposed to be sacred and it’s sacrilegious to mess with it?
