Ryan Walters is Oklahoma’s Superintendent of Public Instruction. He has courted controversy by requesting $3 million to buy Trump Bibles to put in every classroom in the state. Oklahoma is dead last in education, but rather than focus on education, he’s neck deep in the culture war. He has led efforts to ban books in public schools, calling books like “The Kite Runner” of someone overcoming childhood sexual abuse pornographic.
Give that Walters presents himself as an anti-pornography crusader, it is ironic that he is now being investigated for exposing the people attending a State Board of Education meeting to the video of a naked woman that was being played on his television screen. This was done without their consent.
