If racial justice and DEI were important in 2020 (and they were), then racial justice and DEI are still important in 2025 (and they are). #oklaed

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. #oklaed

Ryan Walters has never paid this much attention to anything Oklahoma related. He is for himself and his own career. He is not for Oklahoma. #oklaed

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 “anti-woke” because of the new standards? Fuck no! #oklaed

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 Walters’ greatest accomplishment is being the single most hateful politician in the entire state. #oklaed

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

When Ryan Walters says that new Oklahoma social studies standards are “pro-American,” he is admitting a bias that is certain to run counter to anything “fact-based.” When the facts are not pro-American, Ryan Walters denies the facts. #oklaed

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

I recently had a dream in which I befriended Ryan Walters. In the dream, Ryan Walters told me in confidence, “I don’t believe any of this shit, not a single word!” and then proudly smiled at me. #oklaed

If possessing the full knowledge that Ryan Walters is the undeniable #1 threat to Oklahoma schools is a medical condition, then consider me “Ryan Walters Derangement Syndrome” patient zero! #oklaed

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

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! #oklaed

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. #oklaed

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. #oklaed

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. That’s the incredible stranglehold the Republican Party has on Oklahoma! #oklaed

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. #oklaed

Teaching “America First” is bias. Teaching “America First” is uncritical. Teaching “America First” is ethnocentric. Teaching “America First” is indoctrination. Teaching “America First” is bad pedagogy. #oklaed

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. #oklaed
