Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters resigned to lead the conservative Teacher Freedom Alliance, vowing to dismantle teachers' unions. His tenure was marked by controversy, including pushing for Bible instruction in schools and requiring citizenship proof for enrollment. Attorney General Gentner Drummond criticized Walters, citing "a stream of never-ending scandal." Walters' initiatives also involved partnerships with Turning Point USA to establish chapters in high schools and calls for prayer and the Ten Commandments in schools. His actions drew both support and significant opposition.
