I’m 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. #oklaed

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! Here’s to better days ahead for Oklahoma public education! #oklaed

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 “excited” about the Teacher Freedom Alliance? This was not part of his plan, & I’m here for it! #oklaed

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

Ryan Walters is so afraid of big bad woke boogeyman teachers from California. Meanwhile, I’m 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! #oklaed

I don’t need to take a fucking PragerU test! I already teach U.S. Government in Oklahoma! I don’t teach American Exceptionalism, and I don’t teach American First. Call me woke if you like. Ryan Walters is full of shit! #oklaed

Ryan Walters is motivated by what will keep him in the headlines. That’s what this woke test bullshit is about. That’s what him trying to end state testing is about. It’s what Trump does, so Walters does it. And it works! There’s no clear way to counter this tactic. #oklaed

So many Oklahoma teachers oppose the hatred and indoctrination touted by Ryan Walters. We don’t need teachers from California or New York. We are resisting from within! We got us! #oklaed

There are practically no lawyers left in Oklahoma willing to represent Ryan Walters or the State Board of Education. Don’t be surprised next week at the state board meeting if seated beside Ryan Walters is Rudy Giuliani. #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

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

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

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

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

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! #oklaed
