Ryan Walters is hated by more Okies than was Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. The guy is completely awful, and couldn't be worse if he molested children during church services. He was elected because of straight ballot voting, which is still allowed (and is the method used by the majority of voters in the Sooner or Later State). In most worlds one could safe say that Walters has no political future, but...this is Okiehomie we're talking about.

Good luck to every student in an Oklahoma school--they guy in charge is putting education back by a generation or more...

Fish:
Having lived in OKC since 2018, and having volunteered in the schools, I have seen a bit more of the 'education' in Okiehomie than most. Some things to chew on regarding that state:
-public schools are being de-funded by vouchers and tax breaks given so rich folks can cover a portion of their expense to send their children to the state's private schools
-20 years ago, under a democrat in the governor's mansion the state was #17 in educational outcomes. it is now #49.
-the state superintendent of education spent a bunch of dough on Trump Bibles, and got spanked for it. He had wanted to spend much, much more until he was stopped.
-Oklahoma is an exporter of college graduates, for at least two reasons: first, limited opportunity for those with an education, and second, many Texans who cannot get into UT, Rice or SMU and do not want to go to Tech or A&M come to Norman or Stillwater, study, graduate and then return to Texas.
-the state cannot attract jobs that require knowledge workers, because those are not produced by the state's schools. Even modern manufacturers don't come to the Sooner or Later State because modern manufacturing workers need to know readin' and cipherin', and Okie kids don't

Come to Oklahoma and see how limited economic opportunity and poor education go hand in hand. Efforts by Ryan Walters will make that death spiral accelerate...
