Oklahomas 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 states schools.
In the video, Walters said the following:
For too long in the country, weve seen the radical left attack individual religious liberty in our schools. We will not tolerate that in Oklahoma. Weve also seen patriotism mocked and a hatred for this country pushed by woke teachers 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 wasnt enough, Walters then went on in the video to say a prayer for Trump and encouraged students to pray along with him:
