We have some bad news for wacky Christian Nationalists who want to use government resources to force religion on kids, or still panic about kitty litter in school bathrooms.
Earlier today, new sane Oklahoma State School Superintendent Lindel Fields announced he will not be moving forward with Ryan Walters’ unconstitutional plan to distribute Trump Bibles in Oklahoma classrooms, officially ending one of the more shamelessly moronic crusades Ryan tried to force through as superintendent.
Via News 9:
Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction Lindel Fields announced an update regarding previous items and actions from former Superintendent Ryan Walters on Wednesday morning.
The immediate plan, announced by Superintendent Fields, included filing a motion to dismiss and halting Walters' plan to "distribute Bibles or a Biblical character education curriculum in classrooms."
The mandate previously faced a lawsuit filed by a group of Oklahomans, who argued it imposes upon students' religious liberty.
As one of those people who thinks we probably shouldn’t use government resources to force any religion on anyone – much less a student – I think this is pretty swell news.
My only concern is, what is Fields going to do with the money we’re saving on the Bibles?
