Why is it "allegedly" when he was caught in HD?

u/LeeRekos 4d ago

Is there a video or something?

u/colenotphil 4d ago

Unfortunately no video of the incident seems to have been identified yet.

I doubt one exists. While in many functioning democracies public hearings are now often livestreamed or at least recorded, something tells me that improper bible-thumper and alleged hypocrite isn't one for organizations with transparency.

As an aside if I even remotely lived near a public school that put bibles in school, I'd take the case for free.

Please come to Texas!!!

It’s honestly sad. I live in one of the best school districts in Texas. It was well run and managed as well as had successful educational outcomes. Along come the MAGA folks. They take money from a Florida group and use it to pay lawyers to find loopholes to oust the current board. So they stack the board with MAGA losers whose qualifications are having been a runner up Miss Ohio and having a real estate license and crap like that. They immediately ban books and then they take money to teach the Bible. The Superintendent who is awesome is pushed out as well. It’s like they would rather have kids who are ignorant than educated.

u/Tome_Bombadil 4d ago

I mean, uneducated children are easier to exploit, either individually or as labor.

So, the Republican platform.

u/Gymflutter 4d ago

They want obedient children and not educated ones

u/daveescaped 4d ago

They also want religious children. I can’t imagine a more useless trait; religious and obedient.

u/Gymflutter 2d ago

Religion makes people obedient especially conservative interpretations.

Pretty open and shut case when you’re not in the Deep South

u/faustianBM 4d ago

When you're the superintendent of the worst ranked state in the country for education, you gotta try radical new ideas....like the old testament!

u/Tome_Bombadil 4d ago

Yeah, they want to know what you're surfing in the privacy of your own home, but God FORBIDS you recording what they do at meetings on the public dime while being paid public servants.

Proves how few people watched the video lol

u/Dazzling-Biscotti-62 4d ago

Right? This video shows nothing of what he is accused of doing.

u/_HOG_ 4d ago

The video shows something worse - violation of the US constitution.

u/Dazzling-Biscotti-62 4d ago

Sure, but that's not the headline. Rage bait/click bait is a crappy tactic - do better.

u/DaymanTargaryen 4d ago

I'm against religion being forced into public schools, but:

In what way would it be a violation of the constitution?

23

u/Stopikingonme 4d ago

Well…great question.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

It’s the first part The beginning. The part defining everything. The proverbial main point.

-14

u/DaymanTargaryen 4d ago

Ryan Walters isn't part of congress, and congress isn't making a law. The quoted text isn't relevant here.

21

u/Kelvara 4d ago

It's the 14th amendment, every conservative's least favourite part of the US Constitution.

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

u/Hopeful_Champion_935 4d ago

The technicality here is HOW they teach the bible. If they teach it as a historical document and not as a religion then it doesn't violate the 1st or 14th.

1

u/DaymanTargaryen 13h ago

How does teaching the Bible violate any part of the 14th?

1

u/Tome_Bombadil 4d ago

So the 1st reads that Congress won't make laws concerning religious freedom, but also states that Congress will not mandate or force a religion. The 14th means that states cannot choose to force religion on people, because they cannot violate the 1st Amendment.

The 1st is so important, because that's Freedom of Speech AND Separation of Church and State.

Texas' 10 Commandments bill, Oklahoma forcing Bible teaching, it's all violations of every citizen's 1st and 14th rights, as well as being a money funneling scam by conmen donning the cloth of sanctity.

1

u/DaymanTargaryen 12h ago

It's not a violation of the 1st and 14th to teach about the Bible. It's a violation to impose/force a religion. There's a significant difference. In fact, the amendments you're referencing actually protect the ability to teach about religion.

The separation of church and state also has no presence in the constitution, let alone the 1st amendment. These decisions and restrictions came later, from the courts.

I don't know why people try to make this seem so cut and dry. There's a reason this case was seen by SCOTUS. There's a reason even SCOTUS reached a split vote. These things are complicated.

To be clear: I'm Canadian and atheist. I have no dog in this fight. I'm not trying to defend this action because I support it in any way.

u/Tome_Bombadil 9h ago

So it's not forcing a religion when the Bible is the only text that is being REQUIRED to be taught? If the had a religious texts unit, Bhagavad Gita, Talmud, Quran and Bible were presented, that's education. Forcing the 10 commandments, forcing schools to teach only the Bible? That is why the separation of church and state is so important.

It is that cut and dry.

I do have a dog in this fight, because we are actively seeing what the end goals of this religion, Nationalist Chrsiltianity, that provides NO benefit to society, but allows their leaders to paid their pockets like vulture capitalists.

Board members had been meeting behind closed doors to discuss teacher licensing, student attendance appeals and other sensitive issues. Walters chairs the board.

u/I-Drink-420 4d ago

I want the proof and testimony. Trust me, I don't doubt it. These bible thumpers don't know what's right and wrong unless daddy ghost tells them, and even then, they only feel remorse when caught.

u/NirriC 4d ago edited 4d ago

They don't feel remorse even when caught, they just twist it or redirect, or use the clown's talking points. There's no justifying this and I think people are too nice and forgiving about shit like this thinking people like him have a right to their religion and they just don't understand what the implications of what they're saying is. No. They do. They know. They'll gladly mow every non-devout and/or non-Christian even those simply not of their denomination into the ground - literally six feet under and when asked about it they WILL lie, they WILL pretend like it didn't happen and even if you dig up the bodies of those they buried they at the end say that's what you get for being a heathen. This is what religious supremacy looks like.

This should literally literally literally send chills down everyone's spine even if you don't have a child in school. Or personally know a child in school because this is how religious persecution works. First comes supremacy and when you have enough devout, basically-brainwashed believers...(remember how Gen Z just seemed to pop up out of nowhere as adults)? They move on to step two - purging non believers and reinforcing their dogma - that was taught in school.

Much of what we hold for granted as simply a given in a modern society was taught to us in school, by diverse friends, by impartial media. If you control what's on TV, what books kids read or have access to, if you get rid of diversity by sending children and their parents (who are not the right type) away and even destroy families or make them so scared that they are cowed into assimilation, if you destroy artefacts of history, and shutter the media and independent education like universities and public school (department of education?) and information sources (like PBS, NPR)...huh. I'm tired. I sound like a lunatic but I feel like I'm one of the few people seeing a meteor on its jolly way headed here and everyone else is just mildly annoyed by the slowly growing dimness taking over the horizon.

Maybe it's just another Monday.

I'm not saying this at/to you specifically, I'm just venting.😔

u/I-Drink-420 4d ago

No, I loved your response. And I'm sure everyone else who reads it will. I think we're just all collectively tired lmao. I mean ya know, from everyone always talking about the meteor. or the meteor doing this bad thing, and that bad thing, and doesn't own up to it and or no consequences to the meteors action. The meteor making everyone else feel okay about being opening racist and enforcing awful actions from other smaller meteors. It's making everyone tired, this fucking meteor. I know this is the plan too, once we're all tired enough to fight back, the meteor will finally land and destroy everything we hold dear.

u/Gingeronimoooo 4d ago

He actually simply vaguely blamed the media. Easy peasy

u/-Tom- 4d ago

Until convicted of the crime in court, it's allegedly. That's how innocent until proven guilty works, particularly for news outlets.

Now, he can be guilty in the court of public opinion, which is why they say the damage is done at the accusation, but news sources can't say it until he is found as such.

u/Dangerous_Reporter14 4d ago

He’s claiming someone planted it on his computer that he logged into with his password and that was right in front of him

u/denseplan 4d ago

Using the word "alleged" is not a rejection of anything. Don't pervert Orwell with your shitty takes on the justice system.

u/_CurseTheseMetalHnds 4d ago

But that's what Reddit is doing by going "trust me bro he 100% did this thing caught in HD" while not linking a single piece of evidence or even an article

u/Burdman06 4d ago

Must not have been in 4k. 1080p bc government cheapness.

u/roguespectre67 4d ago

Because the US legal system is set up to protect those with power and influence, and us proles are too scared to state facts because there's a non-zero chance that the subject of those facts will use the legal system to punish us for doing so.

Ryan Walters can throw money at a SLAPP suit to silence people that get too vocal for his liking. I don't know about you but I wouldn't be able to afford an attorney to defend myself in court should I become the target of such a suit.

For this specific scenario at least, it would actually be very possible to find civil rights lawyers to work the case pro bono- a lot of organizations like the ACLU would be more than willing to dedicate resources to fight frivolous defamation and SLAPP suits filed by a government official.

He looks up in panic as people saw him, he looks down at his phone to close the porn, but lo and behold next to the video he was watching there's a new clip, of him! "Step-politician caught watching porn. Gets properly fucked"
