Oklahoma’s Ryan Walters wants to bring Bibles into classrooms—and silence the watchdogs. But is it religious freedom or unconstitutional overreach?
In this episode, The Non-Prophets take aim at Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters, who is suing the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) for doing what it does best: upholding the Constitution. After the FFRF blocked Walters from using $3 million in public funds to buy Trump Bibles for every classroom, Walters retaliated by accusing the organization of "attacking teachers and students."
The panel breaks down how this lawsuit isn't just legally flimsy—it’s part of a wider Christian nationalist strategy to chip away at the wall between church and state. We also explore what this means for educators, indigenous communities, and anyone fighting for a secular government.
