OK Schools Chief Orders Teachers to Show Video of Him Praying for Trump

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."

The video shows this crackpot directly addressing the students of Oklahoma, and then bowing his head in prayer for Trump. Although this would seem to directly contradict separation of church and state, dont expect the far right SC to say a word about it.
It doesn't violate the separation clause untill they actually show it to the kids.
Most teachers won't show it. If one does, then the legal shitstorm will kickoff.
He issued a directive ordering all teachers in the state to show the video in their classrooms. That is a violation of the 1st Amendment.
And well they shouldn't.
Not until they do.
Joe Biden is the president, and will be when this video is shown to kids in school. Walters doesnt deem it proper to pray for Biden when he prays for the country. LOL.
Matthew chapter 6, starting with verse 1:
This guy has a fucking problem. He has several screws loose.
Yes. And this is not the first chapter in this book.
Just when you think they've set the bar impossibly low.... someone goes even lower.
