Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction told FOX Business host Stuart Varney he wants the Bible taught in public schools.

Walters penned an op-ed for Fox News digital so he received an invitation to appear on Varney & Co to spout his religious mumbo-jumbo trying to link the US Constitution to the Bible.

"Do you want to go straight back to Christianity being taught in our schools?" Varney asked.

"Right, " Walters said. "What we've seen is the Biden administration and the Teachers Union forced the state religion in our school."

Wrong. The Supreme Court made those rulings decades ago keeping religion out of public schools. The Biden administration has done nothing of the sort when it comes to "replacing American and biblical values with woke, anti-education values that tell students that they should treat their classmates differently depending on their race and sex and that they should be taught graphic sexual content at a young of an age as possible." Those are Christopher Rufo inspired lies.

Now for some MAGA jingles.

"It's secularism. It's atheism it's wokeism," he rhymed.

"And instead of allowing Biden and the unions to inject their ideology through graphic pornography like gender-queer and flamer, we want the Constitution, we want the Bible in our schools where kids understand our nation's history and what has made this country great," Walters ranted.

(Sure, teaching about slavery is not allowed though, right? Please, move to Florida)

"So you actually want to put, not put the Bible in schools, but teach from the Bible in schools, which is something which I think the Supreme Court ruled against many, many years ago," Varney responded.

"Well, yes sir, and we need to take a look at this," he replied -- meaning we need to get this to the Supreme Court.

"The reality is, is the Bible is a foundational document in our country's history," Walters said.

Christianity, religion, and the Bible were so important to the Founders that they excluded it from the U.S. Constitution.

The Christian nationalists have been emboldened by the kangaroo Supreme Court's recent rulings elevating religious views over constitutional principles.

Whatever happened to the concept that families are the sole dispensers of whatever religious or nonreligious values they decide to imbue to their kids? Why must public schools take on the duties of churches, synagogues, Mosques, or other place of worship?

There are at least 110 million+ US citizens who don't believe in Christianity. Are they to be force fed your religious dogma?

F*ck off.
