#breaking: I’m hearing from credible sources there’s a petition led by Republican lawmakers circling around members to the Speaker of the House to investigate Ryan Walters and the Department of Ed.
More updates to come.

- "Drama" in Oklahoma's K-12 education & low test scores are reasons OU Pres. Joseph Harroz says there's "headwinds" recruiting world class faculty, staff and students to come to OU.
00:00 - 🧵While there's been A LOT of attention towards Supt. Walters partnering with PragerU, from the handful of schools I've reached out to, no one will be using the curriculum. Here's what your school district had to say:
- Yesterday was my last day at FOX25. If I’ve learned one thing in my 3 years, it’s when you have the chance to move to a place you’ve never been to, alone, far from home, trust yourself. Trust the dreams you’re chasing & the hope you’ll catch them. Trust you’re there for a reason.
- ‼️FEDERAL GRANT UPDATE: Rep. McBride tells me OSDE did not apply for more than $270M of federal grants. He says his info is from the U.S. Dept of Education. His concern is OK taxpayer dollars will go to other states because OSDE doesn’t think the grants fit “Oklahoma values.”
- UPDATE: Deer Creek is standing with Edmond Public Schools on the Department of Education book ban issue. “This level of local control is a right belong to public school parents in Oklahoma and should not be undermined by any agency at the state level.”
- Replying to @paytonmaytv @libsoftiktok and 2 othersPeople are screaming protect our kids in the halls after @pubmanokc voiced his fears with Chaya Raichik’s history with Oklahoma, which led to multiple bomb threats in Tulsa area schools.
00:00 - 👀House Republicans are calling out Supt. Walters for "questionable leadership and tactics" saying he violated the Open Meetings Act, denied lawmakers access to executive sessions and is depriving districts of $$$. They say the Supt. is "putting children's lives at risk."
- ‼️"I am calling on Speaker McCall and Mark McBride to begin their impeachment proceedings Monday. It's time for Oklahomans to have the answers." -@RyanWaltersSupt, calling for his own impeachment proceedings to start
00:00 - “Some Oklahoma educators have indicated they won’t follow the law and Oklahoma standards, so let me be clear: they will comply, and I will use every means to make sure of it.”- Supt. Walters Some districts have said they will NOT teach the Bible, but here's new OSDE guidance⬇️
- 🧵I just want to share a story of a mom & her son at the Rose State College shooting today. When she pulled up she was crying, hadn’t heard from her son and his car wasn’t in the lot he normally parked in. I went over to her (mic off) & asked if she was okay.
