Petition Against the Mandated Inclusion of Religion in Oklahoma Public Schools

We, the undersigned, stand in support of Joseph Price’s lawsuit against the State of Oklahoma and Ryan Walters, opposing the unconstitutional mandate that enforces the inclusion of religious teachings in our public school classrooms.

We believe in the fundamental principle that public education should remain secular, ensuring that no single religion is endorsed by the state. Mandating the teaching of a specific religious text in public schools infringes upon the constitutional rights of students, parents, and educators, and violates the separation of church and state.

By signing this petition, we affirm our belief that the State of Oklahoma and Ryan Walters have overstepped their bounds by attempting to impose religious instruction in public schools. We call for the immediate cessation of this mandate and for the preservation of our public schools as inclusive spaces that respect the diverse beliefs of all students.
