This 6:48 video discusses a new requirement to teach Christianity in all public schools in Oklahoma. The requirement demands immediate and strict compliance, or teachers will be fired for failure to properly comply. Teachers must teach from the Bible itself. The administrator imposing this requirement arrogantly and blithely dismisses criticisms as nonsense coming from the left.

This morning in my defense of democracy efforts, I sent sharp criticisms to four NYT reporters for under reporting about the kleptocratic authoritarian threat of DJT, his hideous, lies-packed "debate" performance, recent Supreme Court decisions and the Republican Party in general. I pointed out that calling DJT, GOP elites and Republican Supreme Court judges "conservative" is unjustifiable and wrong. Those people are not conservatives. They are aggressive kleptocrats and authoritarians, i.e., autocrats, plutocrats and Christian theocrats. Calling them conservative softens the threat and normalizes both kleptocracy and authoritarianism at the expense of democracy, the rule of law, civil liberties and transparent, competent governance. It also insults actual pro-democracy, pro-civil liberties, pro-rule of law, pro-rationality conservatives.

To drive home the argument I keep making that Christian nationalism (CN) is kleptocratic, this video affords a glimpse of the scope of the lust for tax dollars that drives essentially all Christian theocratic elites. Getting access to tax dollars has always been a key goal of the authoritarian CN wealth and power theocratic movement.
