OK Education Chief: Biden Wants To Destroy Christianity

September 13, 2023 Christianists, Extremists

Kyle Mantyla reports at Right Wing Watch:

Ryan Walters is a Christian nationalist culture warrior who is using his position as Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction to promote far-right propaganda throughout the state’s public school system. On Sunday, Walters appeared at a special service held at right-wing pastor Jackson Lahmeyer’s church in Tulsa, where he claimed that President Joe Biden wants to destroy Christianity, the family, the schools, and the nation.

“President Joe Biden wants to destroy this country,” Walters declared. “He wants to destroy our schools. He wants to destroy your family. And he wants to destroy our Christian faith. Let’s be really clear, that is his end goal,” Walters continued. “But let me tell you, not here in Oklahoma. It is absolutely not going to happen. We are going to be the tip of the spear to tell Joe Biden, ‘This isn’t communist China, this isn’t California, this is Oklahoma.’ This is where woke goes to die.”

The FBI is currently investigating Walters’ department for misspending $1.7M in education funds on items such as “kitchen appliances, power tools, furniture, and entertainment.”

Last month Walters posted a ranting video in which he baselessly claimed that China is secretly funding Tulsa’s public schools. His claim was immediately denounced by Tulsa officials.

In June, Walters appeared here when he announced that Oklahoma’s public schools will soon have a mandatory daily prayer, the mandatory posting of the Ten Commandments in classrooms, and a mandatory high school course in “Western civilization.”

In July, Walters declared that Oklahoma public school students will be taught that the infamous 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre was not inspired by racism.

Many expect Walters to run for governor when fellow Christian nationalist Gov. Kevin Stitt is term-limited out of office. Next week he will speak at the Family Research Council’s annual far-right “Pray, Vote, Stand” summit.
