Office of Religious Liberty and Patriotism opens at Oklahoma Education Department

You also seem to be ignorant of the Incorporation doctrine of the 14th amendment that makes those law applicable to the states, county and cities.

The actions of the government at all levels must be secular, so as to obey the Establishment Clause and not violate the Free Exercise Clause that guarantees equal religious rights for all people, regardless if they believe or not.

The FF, especially Jefferson, Madison, and Adams were quite clear about keeping religion out of the government. Even Madison took issue with Capitol church services. But that alone doesn't validate your point, especially given the words on the FF themselves, the Constitution, and the SCOTUS. If the religious practices of the FF is the best you can offer, you would be wise to quit now before you embarrass yourself further.

Yes, I am very aware of the letter to the Danbury Baptists and the common misreading of that letter.

So to which part of congress does a state run government school belong and which law was made by congress?

Which part of the separation of church and state do you not understand? Or about when the SCOTUS used Jefferson's letter as a "declarative authority" when affirming the separation of church and state?
 
The Oklahoma State Department of Education should be careful what they wish for. This will lead to endless legal challenges and a complete mess. Another “solution” looking for a “problem”. This will only create problems where there were none at all.
 
Chaos and systematic destruction is the MAGA plan. State by state they will work their strategy taking the easiest states first until the achieve the destruction of our Constitutional democracy and replace it with a Christocracy where the Bible will be the basis for all laws.

This sounds like Sinclair Lewis predicted the MAGAs almost a century prior.

Nobel Prize-winning author Sinclair Lewis allegedly warned that when fascism comes to America it will be "wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.​

Looks like Oklahoma is as far right as my state is far left.

Ideologues will be the end of us all.
 
This office is a violation of the constitution.

It assumes that the state is allowed a religion, it is not. It needs to massive lawsuits against Oklahoma and then end of careers in Oklahoma government.
 
Boycott Oklahoma in every way possible.
Same with every red shithole congressional district.
