OKLAHOMA CITY ( KFOR ) — A recorded prayer was emailed in an unlisted YouTube link to Oklahoma school superintendents yesterday, telling them to have the video shared in classrooms and with parents.
This is what the email to Oklahoma superintendents said:
“Dear Superintendent:
We are in a dangerous time for this country. Student’s rights and freedoms regarding religious liberties are continuously under assault. The newly created Department of Religious Liberty and Patriotism will be working to thwart any attempts to disrupt our Oklahoma student’s fundamental freedoms.
In one of the first steps of the newly created department, we are requiring all of Oklahoma schools to play the attached video to all kids that are enrolled. We are also requiring that that school districts send this video to all parents as well.
Students are encouraged but not required to join me in this prayer.
Sincerely,
Ryan Walters
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
Oklahoma State Department of Education”
