After two-plus years of using State Board of Education meetings as an unchecked propaganda pulpit to fight culture wars and push and promote his dystopian, privatized, theocratic version of public education, Ryan Walters was finally challenged by the people who are supposed to challenge him!
In case you missed it, last Thursday Ryan Walters held his first big State Board of Education meeting since Governor Stitt – exploring the erotic kinks and freedoms of his new lame-duck status – sacked three of Ryan’s lemmings and replaced them with people who – despite probably agreeing with Ryan on lots of things – actually want the Board of Education to support Oklahoma students, and not just score Ryan brownie points with the MAGA / Christian Nationalist / God’s Misfits crowd.
Novel concept, huh?
