February 16 2024- Oklahoma’s Superintendent of Schools, Ryan Walters, has gained attention for his strong criticism of teachers’ unions and what he perceives as a “woke ideology” in public education. Previously a high-school teacher known for engaging AP history lessons, Walters has used inflammatory language, likening teachers’ unions to terrorist organizations and accusing schools of being like “Epstein island.” He has also targeted individual teachers and school officials, arguing that educators are harming students by introducing political ideologies into the classroom. Walters stands by his rhetoric, stating that teachers need to follow state law and avoid promoting political ideologies.
