Oklahoma School Superintendent Orders Schools To Teach The Bible
See, this is what happens when you elect Christofascists to positions of responsibility where they have little to no oversight. Gov. Kevin Stitt recently approved all of the "regulations put forward by Ryan Walters that included time for prayer in schools and expanded the state Education Department’s “foundational values” to acknowledge a “Creator” and the existence of good and evil," so I guess he now feels he can do whatever he wants, including disregarding Oklahoma's own statutes.
Ominously, all teachers are expected to adhere to the new policy. “Immediate and strict compliance is expected,” the memo noted. “Every teacher, every classroom in the state, will have a Bible in the classroom and will be teaching from the Bible in the classroom,” said Walters in his press briefing.
