Why we need something like the Dept of Education is because it creates career pathways and ensures federal aid reaches our poorest students while protecting vulnerable learners' rights. Reorganization can't become an excuse to cut funding for those who need it most.

Of course Gov. Stitt just approved all of Supt. Walter’s education rules, including the one which attaches state test scores to school accreditation. 🤬 This WILL harm many schools, especially in high-needs districts & in rural Oklahoma. REMEMBER THIS IN NOVEMBER & VOTE!!! 🗳️

BREAKING NEWS‼️ Today, Gov Stitt approved & adopted all of the OSDE admin rules which includes one that ties the accreditation of a public school district to test scores. 60 school districts will be affected initially. RURAL SCHOOLS WILL BE DISPROPORTIONALLY IMPACTED. 🧵

Largest Oklahoma school districts to opt out of lesson plans with conservative advocacy group

PragerU promotes one-sided perspectives with misleading information under the guise of educational content. Thank you, @OKCPS, for trusting our teachers to teach the Oklahoma academic standards with facts, rigor, and compassion.

The state superintendent's decision to partner with PragerU is an unfortunate and inappropriate use of taxpayer dollars. Ryan Walters touts that our schools should be free of indoctrination when this program is the literal definition of indoctrination.

Happy Labor Day from my family to yours! Labor unions nationally have stood up and protected workers for years. Let’s celebrate Unions and all they do! I’m honored to be supported by Oklahoma Labor Organizations! #Labordayweekend #unionstrong #laborday #LaborDay2023
