‼️NORMAN BOOK BAN- A close source tells me an English teacher has already been removed at Norman High for providing students a qr code link to the Brooklyn Library and informing them there are free e-books there. This caused further fallout among other teachers in the district...

This teacher, now pulled from her a Norman High classroom, finished her comments- “Let me be absolutely clear: I place the primary responsibility for this chilling of free speech and free association at the feet of Ryan Walters, Governor Stitt, and their ilk at 23rd & Lincoln.”

NPS, like many districts, is also making teachers review their classroom libraries and remove any titles that don’t have 2 research articles demonstrating their value. Teachers were given virtually no time to accomplish this so students returned to classes with empty bookshelves.

To be clear- this statement from NPS contradicts what we have learned from this teacher, her colleagues and several parents. The teacher was pulled after day 1 and told she was “on leave.” For whatever reason, the district is not calling this a “suspension.”

👀 OK’s new superintendent of education is off to a shaky start. Lawmakers are visibly upset with his lack of preparation. Some criticize him for staying in “campaign mode” rather than getting to work for our kids in public schools.
A lot of confusion on the floor. Walters is presenting Hofmeister’s budget that was previously approved, but wants to change the budget and present it next week.
There’s questions on why he’s presenting a budget with numbers he wants to change & if he can change them.
