Walters was paid approximately $120,000 a year by Every Kid Counts Oklahoma compared to his state salary of $40,000. The Frontier and Oklahoma Watch reported that Every Kid Counts Oklahoma was funded by national school privatization advocates and charter school expansion advocates, such as the Walton Family Foundation and another group founded by Charles Koch.
Non-profit my ass.
“The Life is Beautiful Foundation! Funded by Satan.”
I’m going to assume that’s a foundation devoted to making sure everyone watches the Roberto Benigni film ‘Life is Beautiful’, in which case I’m totally onboard.
Given the intentions of Ryan Walters for Oklahoma schools, this might be as good of a place as any to mention the Greenwood Rising museum, opened in Tulsa in 2021 for the 100th anniversary of the massacre. It’s an absolutely fantastic place.
From talking with people who went through the OK public school system, this history hasn’t really been given much attention even prior to the latest shenanigans. It boggles the mind to think that thousands of black residents of Tulsa were rounded up and interned around town, and the incident wasn’t even included in the state curriculum for 80 years.

Thank you for mentioning it, I will have to go check it out sometime
Another lying GOP bigot, but I repeat myself.
