Summary

Oklahoma’s Attorney General rejected State Education Superintendent Ryan Walters’ directive requiring schools to show a video announcing a new Department of Religious Freedom and Patriotism.

The video, which includes a prayer for Trump, was sent to schools and parents, but multiple districts have refused to comply.

The AG’s office called the mandate “unenforceable” and a violation of rights.

Walters, known for opposing “woke ideology,” also faces lawsuits over requiring Bible-based lesson plans and purchasing Trump-endorsed Bibles for classrooms, which critics argue breaches church-state separation.

    This has been their MO for years. A good documentary called “Jesus Camp” was made in like 04. It was about a children’s religious summer camp. It ended with a bunch of children praying to a literal life sized cardboard cut out of W Bush. Those kids are like 30 now and likely have their own kids. They’re just so fucking weird.
