When I woke up this morning – a little later than normal after a night out – I checked my phone and had several texts from Ogle Moles containing screenshots of a strange email that Matt Langston – the Texas-based political operative who’s working for Ryan Walters to destroy Oklahoma education from the inside – bcc’ed to agency employees, demanding they not leak documents to the liberal woke media.
As opposed to earlier emails from OSDE staff that contained a more constrained and professional tone – you know, like the one we shared back in January – this one quickly set off my B.S. detector, as it seemed crafted with the explicit purpose and intent of being leaked online.
In my semi-hungover, drowsy state, I decided to hold off on sharing it, figuring it was either A) a hoax, B) a silly trick to catch leakers and whistleblowers, or C) a desperate ploy to get some attention.
