HAPPENING NOW: The Senate is considering HB1028, which would prohibit schools from using corporal punishment on students with the most significant cognitive disabilities, as defined by OSDE. Like last year, there are lawmakers against enacting such a prohibition. #okleg #oklaed

State Auditor & Inspector Cindy Byrd released a scathing audit of the use of federal dollars, alleging Oklahoma has become a “no bid” state with systemic state contracting issues under Gov. Kevin Stitt’s administration. tulsaworld.com/news/state-reg… #oklaed via Andrea Eger

Old Ryan Walters encouraging kids to go woke. #oklaed

The kids knew first. #oklaed

This is always one of my favorite celebrations. Students and fine arts teachers from all three Mid-Del high schools! We want the arts — and more importantly, the artists — to thrive in all our schools! #MDpurpose #oklaed

A behavior closely linked to indoctrination is proselytizing. 2SLGBTQ+ allied educators don’t attempt to “convert” students. GSA’s don’t proselytize. But many Christian organizations have an explicit mission to evangelize (convert). This is a product of indoctrination. #oklaed

Someone correct me, but the Parental Choice Tax Credit would go away if they zeroed out the state income tax, wouldn't it? #oklaed

JUST IN: HB1028, proposing to bar the use of corporal punishment by schools on students with the most significant cognitive disabilities, passes off the Senate floor. As it was amended, it will go back to the House for further consideration. #okleg #oklaed

Spent 10 very uncomfortable minutes perusing Superintendent Ryan Walters
teacher feed Mr. Walters
I don’t know if it’s the asks to kick it with former students or awkward use of emojis…but a lot of things click now regarding his laser focus on certain teachers.
The Lost Ogle #oklaed

Each year as we go through state testing it becomes clearer & clearer that we have got to find a better way to assess our students.
Technology fails, older students are not serious (no matter) 1/2 days of “free time”, IEP testing, absences, school activities & more….. #oklaed

Who wants to nerd out with cool, hip Coach Dub about Avengers? #oklaed

Ryan Walters does not accept trans kids for who they are. Ryan Walters wants Christianity in schools over other religions. Ryan Walters likes to tell families what books they can & cannot read. These are some of the reasons I call Ryan Walters a bigot. #oklaed

CLARIFICATION: Under the floor amendment adopted today, HB1028 prohibits the hitting, slapping, paddling or any other means of inflicting physical pain on disabled students (restoring some of the intent of the OG language) with an IEP. 1/2 #okleg #oklaed

Today, I joined the folks at Flashpoint for a legislative update. Be sure to tune in this Sunday! KFOR #oklaed to #okleg

Ryan Walters clearly sold his soul and #oklaed is worse for it.

This young lady said it so well: “Wanting power, in a sense, and wanting this new status, is so dangerous”.

I wonder if Walters looks in the mirror & can see the horror he has become? So sad.

Certainly we could sanctimoniously remind that there is no such thing as a free lunch , yet through our upbringing & through our biblical studies we know that “your measure of greatness is determined by how you care for others” #oklaed #bekind
