Meet the new Oklahoma State School Board!

Stitt's hand-picked a who's-who mix of Oklahoma right-wing grifters, culture wars fighters, and biblical indoctrinators to oversee public education in his quest to, well, destroy public education.

Class is in session! Let the grifts and right-wing indoctrination begin!

Last week, just hours after he started his second term as Governor, Kevin Stitt made major changes to the Oklahoma State Board of Education, replacing four board members with a new batch of servants who are eager to help the Governor – and his henchman Ryan Walters – use sensational culture wars to distract the public and media from their conniving attempt to privatize and destroy Oklahoma public education in the name of “reform.”

The moves were met with general hysteria and outrage from people who actually have studied and/or work in the field of public education; sinister grins from conservative grifters who want to make a few bucks off public education as they watch it fail; and, as usual, general ambivalence and apathy from the average Oklahoma taxpayer.
