State Superintendent Ryan Walters of Oklahoma has been making headlines for aligning his education policies with former President Donald Trump’s “America First” agenda. From advocating for prayer in schools to discussing the potential dismantling of the federal Department of Education, Walters has drawn both praise and criticism.
In a recent interview on News On 6’s The Hot Seat, journalists Scott Mitchell and Haley Weger discussed Walters’ close connection to Trump and the controversial initiatives he has proposed. These include releasing a prayer video for schools, promoting the distribution of the “Trump Bible,” and creating an Office of Religious Freedom and Patriotism.
Speculation has also arisen about Walters potentially joining the Trump administration if it moves to abolish the Department of Education. However, details about this remain unclear. Despite rumors, veteran journalists on Capitol Hill have not heard much about Walters in connection with a federal role.
With more updates expected from Walters’ office in the coming weeks, the education landscape in Oklahoma remains a hot topic. Whether Walters remains in Oklahoma or heads to Washington, his actions will continue to spark debate and controversy. The intersection of education policy and political ideology in the state is likely to remain a dynamic battleground for the foreseeable future.
