Oklahoma's Superintendent of education is a real piece of work, check out his tweety:

Things are pretty bad down here. Walters is trying hard to be the furthest right of anyone. Lots of Oklahoma tax dollars are being spent on him travelling around doing speaking gigs and interviews. He actually appointed the lady that runs the libsoftiktok lady to our state library board. She isn't even from here, but his virtue signaling knows no bounds.
Somehow the dude won state teacher of the year before getting into politics. Now pretty much every educator in the state hates him. WOuldn't surprise me if he is our next governor as our current one terms out in 2 years.
The tragedy with Nex is unfortunate. Owasso is a super white super conservative suburb of Tulsa. Not surprising that things like that have happened. The latest word from news here is that the cause of death might not have been the physical altercation. Certainly a lot to unpack with the story though.
Edit: might as well give a source -
