"I believe that Superintendent Walters should be held accountable just like we would any other school teacher accountable, which means at this point (...) we would probably pull his (teaching) certificate and put him on his own list." — Ryan Deatherage https://t.co/OOle60BCmt
At the OK State Board meeting happening now, Ryan Walters just referred to those of us in public attendance as the “peanut gallery.” Does he know that this is a racist phrase? Yes, he does. #oklaed
Two members of the #Oklahoma State Board of Education were "shocked and mad" to see a video featuring "naked women" on the television screen in Superintendent Ryan Walters' office during the executive session portion of Thursday's #oklaed meeting. https://t.co/OOle60BCmt
A federal judge ordered Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters and his former spokesman to pay more than $170,000 in legal fees to KFOR. Murray's reporting on OSDE in @TheOklahoman_, "he (Judge Jones) considered KFOR to be the winner in the case." 👀

In order to keep my students safe, the following are not welcomed in my Oklahoma classroom: armed police, Immigration & Customs Enforcement, Prager U, Turning Point USA, Donald Trump, Linda McMahon, Kevin Stitt, & Ryan Walters. #oklaed
@RyanWalters_@realDonaldTrump@EDSecMcMahon Why don’t you ask DOGE to take a look at the archaic systems the feds use … I mean Elon could have assisted with some technology upgrades.

@RyanWalters_ The fact that you have to label it as fake news means you are concerned people will actually learn the truth and you are scared that you’ll be called out for who you really are… deny and deflect… “it’s crystal clear” Ryan.
Budget talks are going to fly in fast at the OK Capitol. Here are OSDE's requests, denials, and totals. $3 million for Bibles, the concealed carry training - Senate and House won't fund. There's a lot on this sheet.

"Send the standards back" - Yall, lawmakers just filed SJR 20 to send the social studies standards back to OSBE. They said it would cost $33 million to actually follow through with the standards Walters had them vote on....this was filed moments ago.

The OK Ethics Commission is set to talk about OK Supt. Ryan Walters case where they don't know who donated to his campaign. He was sent a notice last month that they would pursue prosecution and he had 20 days to respond.

@wsuares@RyanWalters_ Oh… and we found out that after Walters rushed out of the room, he met with his “followers”… listening to their concerns but not ALL concerns!? And lunch was still delivered even tho some were not there. Also had OHP on duty - OT pay for no reason!? Lack of communication!!
