Native American Community Advocacy

Our first amendment talks about freedom of religion yet they want to force their Christian values on people who have different religions. This country wasn’t built on Christianity, there’s a reason why the fathers of the constitution wanted church separate from state. So why in force it on others? Prayer is for at home and church, not schools.

I don't want my future kids to be in this state if this man keeps on trying to put religion into our schools and discriminating children for being in the LGBTQ community!

Born and raised in Oklahoma and I’ve never seen this blatant overreach of power as I do with Ryan Walters-which is saying a lot given our sordid history of politicians in the past. His policies have nothing to do with education and more to do with half formed, misguided notions of how lack of religion is somehow the sole reason our state is 49th in education. He set his entire policy in place with false equivalency and straw-man arguments- putting real at-risk students in danger as well as prioritizing religion based learning over actual academics. He accomplished this by scaring religious conservatives into believing their own children were being persecuted in school. Which is NOT the case. He pushes religious education for one religion only while still insisting on merging church and state. He wants to dismantle programs that help the most in need and at risk students for what seems to be no other reason but bigotry. He poses a real threat to students and their families with his policies and needs to be removed from office immediately.
