State of Oklahoma Just blocked Superintendent's plan to make it mandatory to worship Trump in Schools

[Lakhota]

Oklahoma’s state superintendent of schools, Ryan Walters, wants every teacher in the state to show a video message from him to their classes which shows him praying for Donald Trump.

Unfortunately for Walters, the state attorney general says that he can’t require students to watch the video, which also announces the creation of a new Department of Religious Freedom and Patriotism, and at least seven of Oklahoma’s school districts say they won’t show it.

“There is no statutory authority for the state schools superintendent to require all students to watch a specific video,” Phil Bacharach, a spokesman for the Oklahoma attorney general’s office, told The Oklahoman. “Not only is this edict unenforceable, it is contrary to parents’ rights, local control and individual free-exercise rights.”

On Thursday night, Walters sent out an email to Oklahoma’s public school superintendents ordering them to show his one-minute-and-24-second video to students. The email contained several grammatical errors, with Walters writing, “We are in a dangerous time for this country. Student’s [sic] rights and freedoms regarding religious liberties are continuously under assault.”

Mandatory or by choice?

This is just the beginning. My children have classrooms with dozens of maga hats on the tables upon entrance. They say the children can choose not to wear one, but there are already reports of backlash for those who dont.

We even have a maga parade scheduled for Christmas day.

Can you imagine if Trump had control of your bank accounts and could seize them any time he wanted?

"Backlash for those who don't" is going to bite you in the ass eventually.

Very good. Church and public schools must be separate.

What is your problem. Read the 1st Amendment Then read it again. Repeat after me, "I don't have to be a tool."
