Mike Belcher posted several statements on his social media account on April 15, 2026, addressing topics ranging from religious instruction to public school funding.
In a post made at 16:22 UTC, Belcher commented on religious education and new converts. He stated, “This is occultism. There’s a reason Scripture itself prohibits teaching by new converts.”
Earlier in the day, at 14:31 UTC, Belcher shared a link without additional commentary: https://t.co/Hopr9J4SRs.
Later that evening, at 22:42 UTC, Belcher discussed state revenues and educational spending. He wrote, “Our yearly revenues are about 130 million over predicted due to smart fiscal policy, the EFA program (which saves money) costs around 51 million… and the Democrats keep demanding we put another 1,075 million into already excessively funded public schools.”
Belcher’s remarks come amid ongoing debates over state budget surpluses and education funding allocations. His reference to the EFA program highlights its role in state cost savings while critiquing calls for increased public school budgets. The issue of who should teach within religious communities remains a topic of discussion among various denominations.
