Aaaaaand gotta brag on my cousin, Debbie, who cheered for OU back in the day. 😎 When I told her I was moving to Oklahoma 13 years ago, she said, “don’t you dare ever dress my niece and nephew in that God-awful orange. 😂 #RedRiverShowdown #BOOMER

The former Supt claimed Boismier distributed pornography to students and alleged she caused harm and shame to the entire profession of teachers by "sexualizing her classroom." Boismier has not stopped fighting to get her OK teaching license back. Here's what she told me today ⬇️

CLEARING THE BACKLOG- OSDE tells me it's no accident. It's part of an effort by new leadership to act as 'quickly as possible' on outstanding issues that are holding people's lives in limbo. BTW, The agency has a new spokesman, Tara Thompson, who responded immediately. BUT... #OKLAED #Oklahoma

ICYMI- From heartbreaking💔- being told "complaints that come in about our special education students aren't priority..."
To bizarre - "We stood there with our hands over our heart."

MORE GOVERNOR POWER? Gov. Stitt is using the Ryan Walters debacle and his appointment of interim state supe Lindel Fields as evidence OK law needs to change-allowing governors to appoint more statewide positions, instead of letting voters decide. But wait... 🧵
