When I read that Walters left the OK Superintendent’s job yesterday I wondered why he was joining a new group with a little over 2700 members. At the time I thought this new group was OK based, now I see that it’s a national group. Still 2700 members from across the country? I wonder how that’s going to work out, and what the group expects of him.

More and more holding elected office is too much of a distraction for GOPers dedicated first, last, and always to the grift. My condolences to the sex workers in whichever towns this degenerate picks to hold conferences/fundraisers for his organization.

Yeah, it’s clear that one of the biggest problems facing our public schools is that our teachers are paid way too much. Every public school teacher I know of lives in a multi-million dollar mansion and flies to school in a private jet, even if they only live a few blocks away.
This excessive teacher pay must stop! We need to prioritize people who contribute more to our society, like corporate CEOs. Why are they always getting the short end of the stick? It’s as though we don’t even care about how much CEOs do for us. Perhaps we can start a charity for them, or simply divert excess teacher pay directly to them. That would solve all of our problems in public education.

“They’re about power and they’re about money,” he said of the unions at last year’s event. “They could care less about student test scores.”

The “Freedumb Fountain” is filled with pervs and hypocrites like Walters in every state they have offices. They are financially and politically supported by other weak-minded, racist and anti-worker fascists. Or, what we call “Republicans”. But I repeat myself.

Any truth to the story that - in addition to the use of “company car” …
Ryan Walters also will get a “gold level” subscription to Pornhub?

This is where this guy belongs, with his kin of angry weirdos. He’s a fascist zealot and he should never have had any responsibilities; he was unfit from the start.
OK will probably remain ruby-red, so for any sane people there, all we can do is wave from a distance and wish them well.
