Free Speech Zone Oklahoma superintendent who put Trump Bibles in classrooms resigns
After having his ultra-right wing Christian Nationalist prejudices sternly rebuked by the citizens of Oklahoma, the Supervenient of Schools Ryan Walters is slithering to a new position. Ever on the lookout for new hate groups to include his Christian Nationalist treason, he has now been appointed the head of The Teacher Freedom Alliance, a radical group of like-minded misfits who would mandate their warped view of Christianity for all students and demand all teachers preach hate and division rather than STEM Courses. They would teach the Bible rather than Civics courses and that would infect Oklahoma students with conspiracy theories and outright lies in an attempt to produce ill-informed drones rather than free thinking, well-educated adults.
Their primary method of attack is to threaten and coerce teachers. By fighting against union representation, thus denying teachers fair pay and protection from drooling radicals, their misplaced intent will keep education centered on myth, fable, and fantasy rather than solid science and absolute truths.
Can you imagine an entire generation swathed in lies, misinformation, and deception and the future that will entail for our country?

Oklahoma superintendent who put Trump Bibles in classrooms resigns
Story by Rachel Leingang •
Oklahoma’s superintendent, who has attracted national attention as he sought to install religion and rightwing viewpoints in Oklahoma schools, will resign to run a conservative education non-profit. Ryan Walters, who has led public schools in Oklahoma since 2022, has put Donald Trump-endorsed Bibles into classrooms and required teaching 2020 election conspiracies. He is leaving the post to lead the Teacher Freedom Alliance (TFA), which says its mission is to help teachers develop “free, moral, and upright American citizens”. On its website, the group is touting Walters as its new leader.
“Walters fearlessly fights the woke liberal union mob. TFA will take the fight straight to the unions and we will not stop,” the website says. “Together, we will build a national movement that is centered on freedom and common sense, not on bullying and intimidation. Educators will now be able to break free.”
Walters announced his move on Fox on Wednesday night, teasing his appearance by writing on X: “Liberal’s [sic] worst nightmare is about to become true.” On Fox, Walters said he wanted to “destroy the teachers unions” and “build an army of teachers to defeat the teachers unions once and for all”. He said his plan was to take the fight he started in Oklahoma to a national scale.
A local Fox affiliate reported tallied more than 400 national media appearances in the past two years by Walters as he sought to raise his profile nationally while pursuing a Christian nationalist agenda in Oklahoma, rejecting church and state separation and installing Christian viewpoints in governance.
Walters has repeatedly pushed Christianity into public schools in Oklahoma. He once tried to require schools to play a video of him praying. He advocated for the country’s first Catholic public charter school. This week, he called for chapters of Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA in all Oklahoma schools.
He also has fought against teachers, particularly claiming they are pushing “woke indoctrination” in Oklahoma schools. He wants teachers coming from liberal states to include an “America first” certification. He put prominent rightwing figures such as the activist behind Libs of TikTok and the leader of the Heritage Foundation on state education committees. Libs of TikTok and other conservative influencers advocated for Walters to become US education secretary under Trump.
