Oklahoma AG Defends School Prayer Walk | Oklahoma City News

Oklahoma’s Attorney General just dropped a legal bombshell on Muskogee Public Schools — telling them they could’ve legally gone ahead with their canceled back-to-school prayer walk, since it was voluntary, outside school hours, and no one was forced to attend. Citing a 2022 Supreme Court ruling, he clarified that coercion is key under the Establishment Clause — meaning old legal advice might not cut it anymore. The school had already scrapped the event after pressure from the Freedom from Religion Foundation, but Drummond made it clear they were within their rights to proceed. Now, he’s offering free legal help to any Oklahoma district facing similar pressure — urging schools to stand firm on their legal footing and not cave to every demand letter.
