It is abhorrent what this man has done to our states education standards. He deserves life in prison but we will have to settle for removal from office
As a student, and believer of Christ. I find this hard to approve. The word of God should be shared, and spread across to neighbours graciously. Not forced upon; that thought has never once crossed my mind. Religion is a choice and a style of life. Ryan Walters should not be in office if that means seeing my peers who are nonreligious, or any other religion who do not follow the same scriptures as us be handed the Bible as if it was homework. It is disrespectful and shouldn't be required. As much as I love the Lord, I also love the comfortability of others around me.
I’m am appalled at Ryan Walter’s ignorant decision to enforce this in Oklahoma classrooms. Back in 2013, I attended a Catholic high school and in my senior year religion class, they even made it a point to explore the other religions of the world and we even took field trips to different temples and mosques. That is how to properly teach religious history. And it needs to be an elective! No one should have religious beliefs forced upon them!
Forcing the Bible on children and teachers who may not subscribe to that faith in public schools is morally corrupt and inherently wrong, vile, and evil.
Ryan Walters is actively destroying the Oklahoma education system. He has neither the education or the integrity necessary to be in the office he holds. He has misappropriated public funds, he has punished teachers for disagreeing with him politically, he has made horrible comments about students, calling them "filth." That is *never* appropriate, I don't care what opinions there are on LGBTQ topics, attacking *children* is not okay. Walters MUST GO.
Evan is my son, and it is a tragic loss that we are all dealing with daily, it really shocked me that the school would not honor them with a simple moment of silence at least. we can do better, we should do better. we love you evan. you still live on in our hearts.
If Ted’s vision and Parkview’s - board member visions do not align, I have to question what is Parkview’s vision? Ted has brought depth and sound biblical teaching. He has been a breath of fresh air. It’s clear attendance and tithing is up and your congregation is questioning how your visions do not align? We feel blindsided and we need answers. I do t think the board realizes the domino affect this decision is having on the body of Christ! This was poorly done and has hurt many! Very sad Parkview!
