Christian Nationalist Ex-Oklahoma Schools Chief Ryan Walters Is Getting No-Fault Divorced

Congratulations to his family on getting to spend less time with him.

Former Oklahoma Schools Superintendent Ryan Walters is one of the holiest men in all the land. He worked tirelessly for many years to use the power of the state to convert children to Christianity, without care or regard to how “unconstitutional” that was. A Bible in every classroom! Every wall straight up papered with the Ten Commandments! State funding for Catholic charter schools! Forcing kids to watch videos of him praying to Donald Trump! Sure, many of his initiatives failed, but he did ultimately succeed in one thing: spending over $100,000 in taxpayer funds to pay PR firms to promote his “personal brand” and secure over 400 media appearances for him.

To be fair, he was also really good at sending and showing porn to his colleagues.

And now he is about to be very good at being alone.

Last Friday, Ryan Walters filed a petition to divorce Katie Walters, his wife of 15 years and mother to his four children. In the filing, Walters’s attorney cited "a state of complete and irreconcilable incompatibility" as the reason for the divorce, claiming that this "destroyed the aims of the marriage of the parties and rendered its continuation impossible."

In other words, a no-fault divorce.

Repuke clown. Doubt he pays alimony or child support on time or consistently. Most of those Reich Wingers are dead beats.
