Oklahoma superintendent has no power to make schools show Trump prayer video, AG’s office says

State Superintendent Ryan Walters ordered schools to show students a video of him praying for the president

OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma’s top education official has no authority to force schools to show students a video of himself praying for incoming President Donald Trump, the state Attorney General’s Office found.

“Not only is this edict unenforceable, it is contrary to parents’ rights, local control and individual free-exercise rights,” Attorney General’s Office spokesperson Phil Bacharach said Friday.

State Superintendent Ryan Walters sent the video statewide on Thursday and ordered public schools to show it to all students and parents.
