Oklahoma's head superintendent wants to ban LGBTQ+ books but teach the Bible in history classes
Oklahoma’s superintendent of public schools Ryan Walters (R) has suggested that the Bible be taught in history classes.
Walters has previously pushed the transphobic lie about schools providing litterboxes to students who identify as cats. He also recently referred to teachers’ unions as “terrorist organizations” and illegally tried to make rules banning LGBTQ+ books and transgender bathroom access in schools.
Right-wing trolls tried to compare the peaceful protest to the January 6 Insurrection.
In a recent video, Walters said, “Oklahomans, we have a clear choice in front of us. When it comes to our schools, do we want the radical ideology in our classroom that pushes gender theory, that pushes graphic pornography in order to perform a social experiment on our kids?”
The news you care about, reported on by the people who care about you.
“Or,” he continued, “do we want the U.S. Constitution? Do we want documents like the Federalist Papers and the Bible, so that our kids understand our history and how our government was put together — those core fundamental principles have made us the greatest country in the history of the world?”

This is the same asshole who just called Teachers' Unions "terrorist organizations". We are preparing for a teacher shortage and a brain drain!
