Vouchers/Education Savings Accounts take money away from an already underfunded public-school system and divert it to private & religious schools, without providing accountability or transparency, and without even guaranteeing everyone a seat in the classroom.
Idk how people are surviving honestly. My electric bill was $236. My phone bill was $470 (????) and my fios bill was $145. Daycare was $475 (for half). Drowning. Frikkin drowning.
If you are a teacher in Oklahoma, and you vote/voted republican, then congrats! You got exactly what you asked for with slimy ass Walters. You did this, and I will not hear a thing about it from you guys.
Oklahoma teachers are hardworking, dedicated & caring.
Republicans rewarded them with low pay, increasing workloads & MAGA State Supt. Ryan Walters.
Teachers hold our schools together. They're the real heroes & Walters the villain. We won't let Walters destroy public education.
The dark clouds of scandal and corruption have filled #Oklahoma’s sky over the last 3 years.

"Cat lady" is such an established archetype used to insult women but one thing I've learned from researching for this account it's that there have been PLENTY of cat dudes throughout history. Here's Mr. Comstock in 1913. https://digitalcommonwealth.org/search/commonwealth:4t64hk15p…
People say that throwing money at public schools won’t fix the problems
But rich folks throw money at their problems all the time & it seems to work out okay for them
Maybe we just give it a try with our schools and see what happens?
People who say they would never come to Oklahoma because of our politics…….
I get it but you are missing out on some beautiful places and very good people.

If Gov. Stitt & Republicans pass private school vouchers as education savings accounts it'll be a disaster for Oklahoma.
State Supt. Ryan Walters will set up favored vendors who'll raid the accounts for private profit.
Students get no education & public schools get defunded.
Watching State Superintendent Ryan Walters present this year’s education budget. He begins by pointing to shortcomings in Oklahoma education outcomes. /1
First thing to understand about Gov Stitt & Republicans is they don't support Public Education. They never will.
In fact - they're working against it.
Realize that & look at their privatizing, vouchers & woke attacks. These aren't better ideas - these are a means to destroy it.
Dear Oklahoma Corporation Commission: my OGE bill has effectively doubled over the last 3 years. Today, OGE sent us all a notice that another increase of 4.8% is coming. This is on top of ONG effectively doubling over that same time frame. You know what hasn’t doubled? My income
