Oklahoma’s top education official ordered public schools Thursday to incorporate the Bible into lessons for grades 5 through 12, the latest effort by conservatives to incorporate religion into classrooms.

The directive drew immediate condemnation from civil rights groups and supporters of the separation of church and state, with some calling it an abuse of power and a violation of the U.S. Constitution. 

The order sent to districts across the state by Republican State Superintendent Ryan Walters says adherence to the mandate is compulsory and “immediate and strict compliance is expected.”

There's lots of ways, although voting is probably the only legal one I can think of.

Already tried that me and wife voted against that asshole. What other ways? Can't we get him impeached for violating the law?

No chance, the republikkklowns have zero integrity and even less morals. I don't believe in god but if that orange bastard chokes to death on a big mac in the upcoming days....I may start believing.
