Ryan Walters

Office of the Secretary of Education

State of Oklahoma

Oklahoma State Board of Education:

In light of recent events involving Norman High School English Teacher Summer Boismier, I am asking the Oklahoma State Board of Education to revoke her teaching certificate immediately.

Upon review of the situation, the teacher resigned rather than face removal. There is no place for a teacher with a liberal political agenda in the classroom. Ms. Boismier's providing access to banned and pornographic material to students is unacceptable and we must ensure she doesn't go to another district and do the same thing. This action must be dealt with swiftly and with respect to all our kids and parents.

Teachers are one of our state's greatest assets and it is unfortunate that one of them has caused such harm and shame for the entire profession. This type of behavior will not be tolerated in Oklahoma and I speak for parents across the state who are demanding swift and immediate action.

Kids first,

Ry Walter

I want to punch this guy in the face so much. Kids first…

Meanwhile cops get caught doing actual bad shit and just resign and go to the next county.

Meanwhile priests get caught molesting children and don't have to resign because the church silently moves them to another parish hoping nobody else finds out.

This gets awkward if you don’t immediately recognize ‘face’ as the verb here.

Waiting for the reactionary who blinks straight passed the OK Sec of Ed trying to financially ruin a teacher for handing out digital library cards and accuses liberals of advocating violence.

Jesus Christ that is a person that shouldn't be anywhere near kids. How do we get him rightfully fired and blacklisted from being around children?

He's an elected official in this shithole state. He's not going anywhere but up.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I run for the position but how do I get the support down here? Or hell this teacher should run I do anything to help get someone elected that cares about kids.

This guy looks EXACTLY like one would imagine a thirty-something, poorly educated, American fascist would look.

Dude as someone from Oklahoma I 100% agree he needs to be removed from our state. Me and wife voted his against him but apparently to many hear agree with him or don't fucking vote in midterms.
