Oklahoma schools superintendent mandates students watch announcement of new religious department

Oklahoma's education superintendent has sent an email to public school superintendents requiring them to show students his video announcement of a new Department of Religious Freedom and Patriotism. Ryan Walters, a Republican, announced the new office on Wednesday and on Thursday sent the email to school superintendents statewide. Two of the state's largest districts, Edmond in suburban Oklahoma City and Bixby in suburban Tulsa, say they have no plans to show the video. The office of Attorney General Gentner Drummond issued a statement Friday saying Walters has no authority to issue such a mandate and that it is not enforceable.

This is the most shocking reporting I've read.

Trumpers voted for the Taliban and for Russia's "strategic control of the United States".

My god. Frightening.

The day after Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, Afghanistan’s Taliban offered its congratulations to the American people for “not handing leadership of their great country to a woman.”

so… have they set this up so he can take unlimited money from anyone and just pocket it without declaring anything?

do they bother putting the word “transition” on the office door? or just cut a slot in it that says “insert bribes here”?

Trump Holds Up Transition Process Over Ethics Code

President-elect Donald J. Trump has not submitted a required ethics plan stating he will avoid conflicts of interest.

#Trump says he's naming Elon #Musk and Vivek #Ramaswamy to lead an outside-of-government group called the Department of Government Efficiency to slash regulations and "restructure" agencies.

Governmental spending decisions are up to Congress and the president — not outside groups.

In 2001, I swore to defend the Constitution and the freedom of The People of the United States. 9/11 happened a month after I started basic training, and in 2003 I spent 5 months in the middle east doing my duty.

22 years later, The People thanked the service of veterans like me by voting in a draft dodging insurrectionist who has threatened to suspend the Constitution and who just loves to cozy up with our enemies.

You know what? You can keep your thanks.
