Oklahoma’s Christian nationalist Superintendent of Schools Ryan Walters issued a directive ordering all teachers in the state to show a video in the classroom of himself praying for Donald Trump. Walters also requested that each school send a copy of his video to every parent with a child in the state’s schools.

In the video, Walters said the following:

“For too long in the country, we’ve seen the radical left attack individual religious liberty in our schools. We will not tolerate that in Oklahoma. We’ve also seen patriotism mocked and a hatred for this country pushed by woke teacher’s unions. We will not tolerate that.”

As if an attempt to continue to use his taxpayer funded office and the public school system as a right-wing indoctrination laboratory denouncing teachers wasn’t enough, Walters then went on in the video to say a prayer for Trump and encouraged students to pray along with him:

“Dear God, thank you for all the blessings you’ve given our country. I pray for our leaders to make the right decisions. I pray in particular for Donald Trump and his team as they continue to bring about change to the country.”

The Oklahoman broke the story about Walters sending out the memo. OK’s two largest school districts have already stated that they will not comply with Walters order because he has no legal authority to issue it and it is unconstitutional. Walters posted on Twitter that people objecting to his directive are “mocking religious liberty.”

Oh, well, apparently this man has never read Mt 6:6

"But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret".
