OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters emailed leaders in Oklahoma school districts on Thursday telling them they would be required to play their students and parents a video showing Walters blaming the “radical left” and “woke teachers unions” for “attacking” religious liberty, then inviting students to join him as he prays for President-elect Donald Trump.News 4 obtained a copy of the email Walters sent superintendents in Oklahoma school districts just before 4 p.m. Thursday.

In the email, Walters told superintendents they were required to play a video for all students and parents, in which Walters makes politically-charged statements about teachers unions and liberals, followed by a prayer for President-elect Donald Trump and the country.
The email said:

“Dear Superintendent:
We are in a dangerous time for this country. Student’s rights and freedoms regarding religious liberties are continuously under assault. The newly created Department of Religious Liberty and Patriotism will be working to thwart any attempts to disrupt our Oklahoma student’s fundamental freedoms.
In one of the first steps of the newly created department, we are requiring all of Oklahoma schools to play the attached video to all kids that are enrolled. We are also requiring that that school districts send this video to all parents as well.
Students are encouraged but not required to join me in this prayer.
Prayer for the Nation
Sincerely,
Ryan Walters
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
Oklahoma State Department of Education”
