WWE MATCH OR OKLAHOMA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING
It's not every day that a meeting of the Oklahoma State Board of Education turns into a WWE match, but that's exactly what happened on June 22nd. Apparently, two individuals decided to play bouncer and block people from entering the meeting, causing a scuffle to break out. And just when you thought things couldn't get any crazier, criminal affidavits were filed.
Now, I don't know about you, but when I think of a State Board of Education meeting, I picture a bunch of stuffy old men in suits sitting around a table discussing curriculum and standardized testing. But apparently, things are a bit more exciting in Oklahoma.
According to the affidavits, OHP Lieutenant Alan Beaty was called in to deal with the situation. I can only imagine his reaction when he heard that there was a brawl going down at a State Board of Education meeting. "What? Did they run out of coffee and donuts or something?"
When Lieutenant Beaty arrived on the scene, he found another OHP Lieutenant and a Security Officer who filled him in on the details. I can only assume that they were all standing around scratching their heads wondering how they ended up dealing with a bunch of rowdy adults at an education meeting.
I mean, let's be real here. What could possibly be so important at a State Board of Education meeting that people would resort to fisticuffs? Are they arguing about whether or not to teach cursive writing in schools? Is there a heated debate over whether or not Pluto should still be considered a planet? Or maybe it's just a bunch of parents fighting over whose kid is the smartest.
Whatever the reason for the scuffle, one thing is for sure: it's not every day that criminal affidavits are filed over an education meeting. I can only imagine what the judge was thinking when he saw these affidavits come across his desk. "Wait, what? A fight at an education meeting? Am I reading this right?"
In all seriousness though, it's a bit concerning that people would resort to violence over something as trivial as a State Board of Education meeting. Let's hope that everyone involved learned their lesson and that future meetings will be a bit more civil. And if not, well, at least we'll have something to laugh about.
