RYAN WALTERS - TEACHER TURNCOAT: PROMOTING PRIVATIZATION TO DESTROY OKLAHOMA PUBLIC EDUCATION


RYAN WALTERS - TEACHER TURNCOAT:

 PROMOTING PRIVATIZATION TO DESTROY OKLAHOMA PUBLIC EDUCATION

Ladies and gentlemen, gather around, because we have a story to tell about Ryan Walters, the man who wants to destroy Oklahoma public education. Now, before we dive deep into this topic, let's take a moment to appreciate the irony of a man who was once a Teacher of the Year finalist now being accused of wanting to destroy education. Oh, how the tables have turned!

But who is Ryan Walters, you might ask? Well, he's a Republican politician who has been serving as the Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction since 2023. Before that, he was the appointed Secretary of Education from September 2020 to April 2023. And let's not forget his humble beginnings in McAlester, Oklahoma, where he was born in 1985.

Now, you might be wondering what qualifications Mr. Walters has to be in charge of education in Oklahoma. Well, he graduated from Harding University in 2007 with a degree in history and then went on to teach high school history for eight years in McAlester and Millwood. I guess that's enough to qualify someone to be in charge of an entire state's education system, right?

But let's get to the juicy stuff - what policies has Ryan Walters put in place in Oklahoma? Well, he's all about school choice and expanding access to charter schools. He believes that parents should have the right to choose their children's schools and that charter schools are the way to go. Because who needs public education when you can have privately-run schools funded by taxpayers?

Now, some people might say that Ryan Walters' policies are too conservative and that he's trying to dismantle public education. But I say let's give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he just wants to make education great again by privatizing it. After all, what could go wrong?

However, there is one little thing that might put a damper on Mr. Walters' plans - a pesky little lawsuit. You see, two former state Department of Education employees were fired after they released department communications to the media. They're now suing Ryan Walters and his advisor Matt Langston for violating their First Amendment rights by firing them for exercising their free speech rights. Oopsie!

But fear not, my friends, because this lawsuit is still pending in federal court. And even if Ryan Walters loses, I'm sure he'll find a way to spin it into a positive. Maybe he'll say that he was just testing the limits of the First Amendment and that he's actually a champion of free speech. Who knows?

In conclusion, Ryan Walters might be accused of wanting to destroy Oklahoma public education, but let's not jump to conclusions. Maybe he just wants to make it better by privatizing it. And if that doesn't work out, he can always fall back on his history degree and become a tour guide at the Oklahoma State Capitol.
