Iām looking forward to when Ryan Walters is completely absent from the Oklahoma media landscape. But that day is not yet. He does not get to just walk away. There are so many things he needs to answer for. There is so much harm that will take time & attention to heal.

I taught for approximately 300 days with Ryan Walters as State Superintendent in Oklahoma. He is now gone. I am still here. Today was day one without his hateful presence! Hereās to better days ahead for Oklahoma public education!

Oklahoma knows that Ryan Walters really wanted the following, in this order: 1. U.S. Secretary of Education 2. Governor of Oklahoma 3. Fox News Anchor Instead, he is āexcitedā about the Teacher Freedom Alliance? This was not part of his plan, & Iām here for it!

State Superintendent Sent Oklahoma Teachers the Wrong Constitution. In March of 2025, state Superintendent, Ryan Walters, who recently resigned, sent two āGod Bless the USAā Bibles to my school to be used in my AP U.S. Government & Politics classes. (1/7)

Ryan Walters is so afraid of big bad woke boogeyman teachers from California. Meanwhile, Iām a leftist, & I teach U.S. Government right down the road from his office. He spreads fear about out-of-state woke teachers when the call is coming from within the house!

Ryan Walters is motivated by what will keep him in the headlines. Thatās what this woke test bullshit is about. Thatās what him trying to end state testing is about. Itās what Trump does, so Walters does it. And it works! Thereās no clear way to counter this tactic.

So many Oklahoma teachers oppose the hatred and indoctrination touted by Ryan Walters. We donāt need teachers from California or New York. We are resisting from within! We got us!

There are practically no lawyers left in Oklahoma willing to represent Ryan Walters or the State Board of Education. Donāt be surprised next week at the state board meeting if seated beside Ryan Walters is Rudy Giuliani.

If Ryan Walters thinks his political career will benefit from fudging state testing numbers, he will do it. If Ryan Walters finds personal gain in canceling state tests, he will do it. Everything Ryan Walters does is for Ryan Walters.

Teaching āAmerica Firstā is bias. Teaching āAmerica Firstā is uncritical. Teaching āAmerica Firstā is ethnocentric. Teaching āAmerica Firstā is indoctrination. Teaching āAmerica Firstā is bad pedagogy.

Tomorrow I begin year 14 as an Oklahoma social studies teacher. But perhaps more impressive, I will also begin year 4 teaching under the oppressive Ryan Walters regime.

Ryan Walters is extremely unpopular in Oklahoma right now! But the reality is that if general reelection was tomorrow, he would still have a solid chance of defeating any highly qualified Democrat. Thatās the incredible stranglehold the Republican Party has on Oklahoma!

Oklahoma districts and schools are breathing easier right now knowing that Ryan Walters is a little too preoccupied to keep up his usual pace of constantly hating on teachers and students around the state.

Two things that would be immensely better than Ryan Walters getting in serious trouble for inappropriate material on an OSDE device: 1. Ryan Walters was a decent human being not beholden to out-of-state operatives. 2. Oklahoma elected Jena Nelson in 2022.

The anti-woke movement has taken a teacher shortage and made it so much worse! This is apparent in Oklahoma where state board of ed. members quibble over bandaid solutions while ignoring the root cause. Oklahoma will never incentivize its way out of our teacher shortage!

At the OK State Board meeting happening now, Ryan Walters just referred to those of us in public attendance as the āpeanut gallery.ā Does he know that this is a racist phrase? Yes, he does.

When Ryan Walters says that new Oklahoma social studies standards are āpro-American,ā he is admitting a bias that is certain to run counter to anything āfact-based.ā When the facts are not pro-American, Ryan Walters denies the facts.

Today was InspireOK, a one day event hosted by OK State Dept. of Education. Honestly, I forgot, but Iām curious. Last year, I registered many dead racists to attend this conference. I submitted information for Andrew Jackson, George Wallace, Strom Thurmond, & others.

Oklahoma is better than and did not ask for Ryan Walters. He was hand picked by our very hateful Governor, Kevin Stitt, who has now decided that Walters is too hateful. Ryan Waltersā greatest accomplishment is being the single most hateful politician in the entire state.

I teach U.S. Government in Oklahoma. Will I teach the new social studies standards? Yes. Will I only teach the new standards? No. Will I teach every single substandard? Probably not. Will my classroom suddenly become āanti-wokeā because of the new standards? Fuck no!

The presence of Bibles in classrooms is not necessary for students to understand U.S. History. Ryan Walters knows this. His quote here is an example of a false cause fallacy. Like Trump, Ryan Walters does not care about truth and honesty as an elected leader. (1/2)

Ryan Walters lost today in the U.S. Supreme Court. But Ryan Walters loses every school day when trans students are seen & respected, Black history is taught, and neighborhood schools accept every student.

Cellphone use in schools is a complicated issue. The Oklahoma Legislature needs to listen more to public input.

Iām not a martyr. Iām just an Oklahoma teacher willing to admit Iām part of the āproblem.ā Iām part of the problem of supporting trans students. Iām part of the problem of anti-racism in the classroom. Iām part of the problem of religious pluralism in public schools.

More than what I teach my students, DEI informs how I treat my students. The movement against DEI in schools will set student safety back decades. Think teachers sitting around smoking in the lounge, but instead of smoking, theyāre casually using the ānā word.

As long as I am teaching in Oklahoma; diversity, equity, and inclusion will be centered in my classroom and anywhere I have influence. In the end, I donāt need special funding to demonstrate to my students what Dr. King called āThe Beloved Community.ā

Oklahoma, donāt worry about good social studies teachers who will have Christian Nationalist standards starting August ā25. Worry, instead, for students of social studies teachers who are excited about being empowered to inject Christian Nationalism into their teaching.
