Ryan Walters is attempting to gaslight people when he says “no one should be discriminated against because of their religion” when he’s literally advocating for a religious public school that will in fact… discriminate based on religion and religious ideology. So, there’s that.

Those who oppose DEI, only oppose it because DEI leads to children having empathy and the ability to think critically.

They’re afraid their kids won’t fall in line with their religious brainwashing.

There is no “war” on Christianity.

You are NOT free to decide for others what faith they practice or when or where they do.

The Secretary of Oklahoma’s public education department has publicly endorsed a man who tried to overthrow the 2020 presidential election and has been indicted. Why did Oklahoma voters vote for this man? How dumb can he get?
