Oklahoma’s Ryan Walters announces plan to establish Turning Point chapters at all state high schools

They are frightened by TPUSA because it represents the very first grass roots movement to return to normalcy....something that diffuses anarchy. Up till now the left has had a stranglehold on organizing... That's about to change. They don't like that if course. It presents choice....choice works against coercion.

If a kid wants to start a chapter, none of my business and they should be allowed.

Pushing hard to be the dumbest state in the union.



Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters announced Wednesday that he would step down from his role overseeing the state's schools to lead the conservative group Teacher Freedom Alliance, saying, "We're going to destroy the teachers unions."

The announcement from Walters, a conservative Republican who pushed to incorporate teaching about the Bible into public school classrooms, caps off a contentious tenure marked by a willingness to embrace culture war issues.

"We have seen the teachers unions use money and power to corrupt our schools, to undermine our schools," Walters said on the show "Fox News @ Night" on Wednesday. "We are one of the biggest grassroots organizations in the country. We will build an army of teachers to defeat the teachers union once and for all."

It's so fitting, it really is.

Those who protest the most should always be scrutinized the most.


State Attorney General Gentner Drummond, a Republican, slammed Walters in a statement after the announcement, saying in a post to X that Walters' appointment as superintendent led to "a stream of never-ending scandal and political drama" and calling him "an embarrassment to our state."

Oklahoma, fresh off requiring Trump Bibles, is going to establish Turning Point Chapters in all Oklahoma high schools. I wonder what the Republican clubs think of that.

Oklahoma’s Ryan Walters announces plan to establish Turning Point chapters at all state high schools​

Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters on Tuesday announced a plan to establish chapters of the conservative organization Turning Point USA at all state high schools.

“I am very excited to announce a partnership with @TPUSA to establish chapters in ALL Oklahoma high schools. Radical leftist teachers’ unions have dominated classrooms for far too long, and we are taking them back,” Walters said Tuesday in a post on the social platform X.

Walters’s announcement comes after the deadly shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, a founder of Turning Point USA. The Oklahoma education official’s post was also reposted by Turning Point.

The founder of a right-wing social media account named “Libs of TikTok” last year was appointed to the state library panel in Oklahoma. Walters announced at the time that the founder, Chaya Raichik, would be joining the state Department of Education Library Media Advisory Committee.

“Chaya is on the front lines showing the world exactly what the radical left is all about — lowering standards, porn in schools, and pushing woke indoctrination on our kids,” Walters said last year.

In the wake of Kirk’s shooting earlier this month, there have been intense debates about Kirk’s legacy and the limits of free speech, with late-night host Jimmy Kimmel being suspended by ABC after making controversial comments about the Turning Point founder’s assassination.

“Charlie Kirk’s assassination has just birthed a new era of Christian conservative leaders. There will be new faces and leaders emerge all across the country,” Walters said in a post on X last Wednesday.

That's great news.

It's just another form of indoctrination, but this form of indoctrination is acceptable to you.
Weird.
