Oklahoma’s State Superintendent of Public Instruction has issued a statement in response to Prague Public Schools halting their daily prayer broadcasts due to demands from atheist group ‘Freedom from Religion Foundation.’
Ryan Walters’ remarks were made after Prague Public Schools, a district in his state, halted daily prayers after a complaint from the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), an atheist activist group, KOKH-TV reported.

In the video statement, Walters calls the foundation “a radical atheist group” and further calls the situation “outrageous, stating that his state has no plans of “bowing down to these bullies.”
“We’re going to continue to fight for religious liberty and religious freedom here in the state of Oklahoma,” Walters said, claiming the group has targeted children who wish to initiate prayer in the Prague Public Schools. “It’s outrageous. We have to take a stand for our students’ freedom of religion, their freedom to express their religious beliefs, no matter what those religious beliefs may be.”

Religious liberty necessarily includes freedom FROM Government Religion in any way, shape, kind or form. Including from Government Schools.
“The ‘establishment of religion’ clause of the First Amendment means at least this: Neither a state nor the Federal Government can set up a church. Neither can pass laws which aid one religion, aid all religions, or prefer one religion over another. Neither can force nor influence a person to go to or to remain away from church against his will or force him to profess a belief or disbelief in any religion. No person can be punished for entertaining or professing religious beliefs or disbeliefs, for church attendance or non-attendance. No tax in any amount, large or small, can be levied to support any religious activities or institutions, whatever they may be called, or whatever from they may adopt to teach or practice religion.” (330 US 1)
