Oklahoma education chief Ryan Walters opposes The Satanic Temple's plan to place its ministers in schools after a bill passed the state House that would permit volunteer chaplains.
Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters took a dig at The Satanic Temple on Wednesday after the organization said they would place ministers in public schools if Senate Bill 36 becomes law. 'In Oklahoma, we have conservative values. President Joe Biden and the National Education Association want Christianity out of the classroom and are advocating for our kids to have zero morality and faith,' Walters told Fox News Digital in a statement.
Walters' comments come as Oklahoma's House passed SB 36, which would allow volunteer chaplains in schools. If it becomes law, it would permit volunteer chaplains in public schools but require districts to conduct background checks, barring those with a criminal history, including sex offenders or felons. Chaplains can also be dismissed for child abuse, negligence or moral misconduct.
Some have said that if you do a school chaplain program, that, somehow, you're going to have satanists running around in all our schools. We're not playing those games in Florida,' DeSantis said. 'That is not a religion. That is not qualified to be able to participate in this. So, we're going to be using common sense when it comes to this. You don't have to worry about it.
Co-founder of the group, Lucien Greaves, previously told Fox News Digital the legislation indicates DeSantis is unaware of how the law works and unaware that the bill he signed into law 'does in fact allow Satanic chaplains in schools.' Fox News' Greg Wehner contributed to this report.
