Ryan Walters Resigns as Oklahoma's State Superintendent of Education

From the end of the article:

Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond, who has been anticipating Walters to be one of his challengers in the next GOP primary for the state's next governor, immediately issued a press statement reacting to Walters' announcement.

“Ever since Gov. Stitt appointed Ryan Walters to serve as Secretary of Education, we have witnessed a stream of never-ending scandal and political drama. From the mishandling of pandemic relief funds that resulted in families buying Xboxes and refrigerators to the latest squabbling with board members over what was or wasn’t showing on TV, the Stitt-Walters era has been an embarrassment to our state," Drummond's statement reads.

"Even worse, test scores and reading proficiency are at historic lows. It’s time for a State Superintendent of Public Instruction who will actually focus on quality instruction in our public schools. Gov. Stitt used to say he would make us Top Ten, but after seven years we are ranked 50th in education. Our families, our students and our teachers deserve so much more.”

He's kinda cute.

Does he have an OnlyFans?

“Forget it, Jake. It’s Oklahoma.”

What kind of name is Gentner? Is it short for something?

Oklahoma is ranked at #48 for education in the US. Fundie MAGA christian Walters wants to get it down to #50.

Wow, this is really unexpected. This little fundie wing nut was using that position as his MAGA podium to spread Jesus and Trump far and wide and now he formed some wing nut organization with 2600 people? There must be some kind of scandal boiling under the surface. Maybe the porn during his zoom meetings is the tip of the iceberg..

Oklahoma is already ranked #50, R5.

Oklahoma AG Gentner, from article in OP:

[Quote] It’s time for a State Superintendent of Public Instruction who will actually focus on quality instruction in our public schools. Gov. Stitt used to say he would make us Top Ten, but after seven years we are ranked 50th in education.

To confirm: A study released by WalletHub this summer ranked Oklahoma 50th of 50 states and the District of Columbia for public schools. (See link below to article about study, which contains a link within it to actual study.)

Which state ranked 51? New Mexico.

Oklahomans will be pleased this nark is resigning. Can't wait to hear Jen and Pumps on the IHIP podcast talking about this.

This guy was unusually tyrannical even when compared to other extremists. Very odd for someone of his type to just give it up like that. Makes one think a scandal is brewing. I'm sure teachers in Oklahoma are breaking out the champagne today.

German, r4.

That great news R7. 50 is even worse. I got the 48 from this 2023 study:

This is the guy caught watching porn at a public meeting? What an educator!

R12 and such a moral, wholesome Christian!

Will there now still be a Bible in every classroom or will that be shelved? These of course we're going to be Bibles sold by Trump.

This is your typical American citizen of the Trump era: full of fake religious piety, full of fake patriotism on the outside, rotten to the core on inside, completely amoral and immoral.

Which is why the Republican Party is growing in membership so rapidly, especially among the young.

He probably defended his obvious pron addiction by saying the Bible doesn’t say anything about porn, it also doesn’t say anything about abortion or gay people, but Christians won’t ever acknowledge that.

R6 kind of think the porn he broadcast during school meetings is the cause of it. It’s an open and shut sexual harassment case and this is probably part of the ongoing settlement.

You just want him to be gay because you find him attractive.

Pathetic.

Was it gay porn?

He is loathsome but I’d definitely throw him a fuck.

Charles Keating, founder of the Citizens for Decent Literature, was reported to have the second largest collection of pron in the country, second only to Leonard Bernstein. And then he caused the Savings and Loan scandal.

Wonder if there's another scandal in the works besides the porn stuff

Good. Fuck him.

Seems unlikely he'd give up that job willingly.

The reporting I heard from the Friendly Atheist channel was that there appeared to be naked females taking turns lying on a chiropractic table.

R2 He’s not kind of cute. He’s wicked hot.

Loathsome, but hot.

Totally agree, R24!

I hate that I find him so damn hot. If he would have gotten past his mental issues, and just been a normal Republican, I guarantee he could have been the state’s senator in looks alone, then from there, who knows.

But he had to act like he was dropped on his head as a child.

Further, he also seems gay. Been around those types, usually from mega churches. Then again, could be wishful thinking. Either way, I’m sad to say I’d blow him in a NY second.

Gentner Drummond is, of course, part of the extraordinary wealthy Drummond family, who own a huge amount of land in Oklahoma, seized up during the days the Killers of the Flower Moon era. Pioneer Woman Rae married into the family.

Early photos of Walters on instagram showed him in a Taylor Swift t-shirt, happy go-lucky looking, surrounded by male friends. They’ve since been deleted, but you can find them if you look hard enough.

Somewhere along the way, he turned into a hateful religious nutcase, married with three children in five years.

R27 he is just another closet-bisexual that sought out public office, so he did a rush job marriage and kids setup to have the family-man requirement locked down.

Just like the donor that plucked Charlie Kirk out of obscurity, someone clearly whispered in his ear and told him to make a name for himself. I BET he was hoping to be made Ed Sec under Trump’s second term or tapped for higher position.

This new role will give him more access to DC, and access to Donald.

Or, a scandal is gonna break, hopefully included nudes!

R28, if he had billions of dollars, he’d definitely be in Trump’s inner circle. I’m sure he’s grifted and skimmed taxpayer dollars, but he’s not wealthy enough to be noticed. Which must chap his ass on a daily basis. He’s tried to institute Trump bibles, he tried to require mourning time for Charlie Kirk in schools, he tried to prosecute teachers who supposedly cheered Kirk’s demise. But never a peep from Washington D.C.

Walters and Governor Bull-Stitt both wanted to be promoted to D.C., but Stitt threw his support to Rhonda early in the presidential campaign, and was never forgiven.

Found this on Reddit: texts from Walters in 2006, when someone named Jeremy touched him in his “happy place”!

[quote] What kind of name is Gentner?

There’s 72 of them.

[quote] Will there now still be a Bible in every classroom or will that be shelved?

I saw a TikTok video from a teacher in Oklahoma showing that those Bibles include the Constitution but only with the Bill of Rights (no 11th-27th Amendments) and includes the 3/5 rule for Black people. The 13th Amendment essentially removed that from the text. The 14th is about due process, of course, and this is the one that people receive proper treatment. The right hates this because it says "people" and not "citizens."

[quote]There’s 72 of them.

72 of what?

[quote]Oklahomans will be pleased this nark is resigning.

What’s a nark? And why would they be happy? Don’t Oklahomans have the same mindset as him?

He looks like he could be a fag.

R34, in Aussie vernacular Ryan is a pain in the arse.

I assume he's gooning his little heart out now to that porn he loves so much. Butt plug and cockring firmly secure, poppers within reach.

Just a couple of days ago Ryan Walters was demanding that every Oklahoma school have a chapter of Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk's organization.

Of course he wears cowboy boots.

HE IS GAY.

If you can find a man who will look at you like that, marry him, or at least fuck him.

R5 Hahahaha! Dumbasses.

R23 lmao.

Is his hair getting lighter? It wasn’t this blond before.

Sorry to disappoint everyone who thought Ryan Walters had porn on his TV screen during a board meeting, but the official investigation revealed it was a racy scene with naked women in the 1985 Jackie Chan movie [italic]The Protector[/italic].

[Quote] Oklahoma House Speaker Kyle Hilbert, R-Bristow, who was the first to publicly call for an investigation, later announced that after his own sleuthing, he believed that the Walters TV incident was likely just “a bizarre accident” involving the Samsung TV Plus streaming services Channel 1204 showing an obscure, 1985 Jackie Chan film called “The Protector.”

[Quote] In a press conference in Oklahoma City, Sheriff Tommie Johnson III said the situation was “the first of its kind” but that his office sought evidence of the truth without regard for politics.

[Quote] Johnson said that in consultation with Samsung officials and follow-up interviews with board members Carson and Deatherage, he verified that it was the Jackie Chan movie that was playing on Walters’ office TV.

[Quote] “It was just an accident, but with that being said, they did see what they came out and talked about. They did see those images,” Johnson said, according to a recording of the press conference from The Oklahoman.

R12 R13 R16 R18 R20 R23 R37

Why is he watching Jackie Chan movies in his office when he should be working? And why watch it even while you’re in a meeting?

I think it was accidentally turned on, R46.

I think he was accidentally turned on.

R34, He’s so far right most Oklahomans don’t like him. Yes, there’s a handful of dumbasses that love and adore him, but he’s too Christian militant for the masses, which shows just how nuts he is.

R8 Our dream came true this afternoon!

Who are they?

R51 If you mean the ladies at R50 it’s a podcast. Well two. They do one early in the morning like a radio show, then they have a separate channel with 2-3 15 minute shows of various Trump fuckery. Jennifer was raised atheist and Angie “Pumps” was raised evangelical. They’re from Oklahoma so they’ve seen MAGA type fuckery their whole lives.

Some patriot sent him their photographic evidence that he's a pedophile.

They have education in Oklahoma. Who knew.

Used be like Iowa’s, now their education system is worse than Mississippi.

I love them, R50.

Highly questionable anal hygiene

Oh, he’s got a squeaky clean ginger hole. He looks like he showers twice a day

Attorney general orders forensic audit of Oklahoma State Department of Education

"In light of Ryan Walters’ departure as state superintendent, Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond has ordered an investigative audit of the State Department of Education.

“Now that former State Superintendent Ryan Walters has formally resigned, a number of current and former OSDE staff have raised credible concerns about the spending practices under his leadership,” Drummond wrote in a Wednesday email to State Auditor and Inspector Cindy Byrd, ordering the audit.

As requested, the audit would span Walters’ entire tenure as state superintendent, which ran from Jan. 9, 2023, through Tuesday. State statute allows for the Attorney General’s Office to call for an audit of government entities, including OSDE."

Does he have an OnlyFans? or is he just a viewer.

He has several lawsuits pending against him, maybe a dozen. I’m surprised he left the safety umbrella of the government. But he’s never been the sharpest tool, just a tool.

Cocaine addicts have notoriously bad breath and this dude looks like his breath could singe the whiskers off a cat. LOL
