Oklahoma Superintendent and Porn Sheriff Streams Naked Lady Vid During Meeting
It’s probably not great for Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters that when I Google his name one of the first things that comes up is a post by X account user @RyanWaltersSupt that reads, “This is a difficult time for me and my beautiful, confused family. We ask the privacy and respect owed to a man who courageously stands as a bastion of faith against the horrors of pornography.”
The post accompanied an image of official-looking letterhead reading, “Dear Parents and Guardians, You may have heard the LYING FAKE NEWS MEDIA…spreading FILTHY LIES about your favorite humble servant.” It was then that I noticed it was from an account called “Ryan Walters Superintendent Parody.”
But one can hardly fault me for not immediately recognizing it as parody. I mean, there are Republicans who actually talk like that. See, for example, the most prominent and embarrassing Republican in the world: Donald Trump.
Walters is hardly in Trump’s league when it comes to prominence, but he’s in the headlines after a video of a naked lady played on a screen in his office during a State Board of Education meeting.
Embarrassing, for sure! Also confusing for everyone involved.
One of the people in attendance was board member Becky Carson who described the incident to The Oaklahoman thusly: “I was like, ‘Those are naked women.' And then I was like, ‘No, wait a minute. Those aren’t naked, surely those aren’t naked women. Something is playing a trick on my eye. Maybe they just have on tan body suits.”
A common mistake. In fact, just the other day I saw a woman coming out of the gym wearing a tank top the same color as her skin and I thought for a brief moment that I was looking at a topless woman. Except I wasn’t. The board members in Oklahoma were, though.
“I saw them just walking across the screen, and I’m like, ‘no,’” Carson continued. “I’m sorry I even have to use this language, but I’m like, ‘Those are her nipples.’ And then I’m like, ‘That’s pubic hair.’ What in the world am I watching?”
Woah there, Carson. No need for such spicy language. What are we, in a gynecology office?
Board member Ryan Deatherage was also in attendance and told The Oklahoman that “Walters did not apologize or offer any explanation after he turned off the television once he was alerted to the issue by Carson.”
Now, look, I don’t know what was going on on the TV in Walters’s office. I do know that Walters more or less appointed himself the porn police of Oklahoma schools, which is what makes this whole thing so, well, interesting.
In 2023, Walters sent out an email with “graphic, sexually explicit photos” to State Rep. Mark McBride and other lawmakers claiming the images were available to students in Oklahoma schools.
McBride told KOKH FOX 25 that there was no evidence given to connect the images with school-available content. It doesn’t appear Walters ever provided proof, either.
In 2024, Walters appointed the anti-trans Libs of Tik Tok creator Chaya Raichik to the Oklahoma State Department of Education’s Library Media Advisory Committee.
“Chaya is on the front lines showing the world exactly what the radical left is all about – lowering standards, porn in schools and pushing woke indoctrination on our kids,” Walters said in a statement announcing the appointment.
With Raichik aboard, the committee moved to ban “The Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini and “The Glass Castle” by Jeannette Walls from school libraries, deeming them pornographic.
When the superintendent of Edmond Public Schools challenged this ban, Walters was not happy.
“Edmond Public Schools not only allows kids to access porn in schools, they are doubling down to keep pornography on the bookshelves,” Walters said in a statement according to the Oklahoma Voice. “Parents and kids should have the confidence of going to schools to learn. Instead of focusing on education, EPS has chosen to peddle porn and is leading the charge to undermine parents in Oklahoma.”
It’s a bold choice of words from a guy who, according to Rolling Stone, “told schools to teach the Bible and Ten Commandments, demanded students watch him pray for Donald Trump” and tried to use state money to buy Trump branded Bibles for school classrooms.
I mean, sure he’s engaging in indoctrination, but at least it’s not “woke.”
Walters responded to the allegations about the naked lady on his office TV with a totally chill press release titled, “Response to the Most Absurd, False, and Gutter Political Attack from a Desperate, Failing Establishment” and vowed to keep his focus “on making Oklahoma the best state in the nation, in every category.”
By the way, when it comes to education, Oklahoma ranks last in the nation. So, you know, great work all around.
