Hey, folks! Gather round, because I've got a story that's more confusing than trying to assemble IKEA furniture without any instructions! 🛋️ So, apparently, Oklahoma's got this dude named Ryan Walters who's like the head honcho of the state's public schools. And let me tell ya, he's not just any old education enthusiast – he's gone full-on cowboy, wrangling up some "radical leftists" he thinks are trying to brainwash kids. 🤠

Now, you might be thinking, "Wait, isn't this the guy who's been busy making a fuss about banning books and giving the side-eye to anything remotely diverse, equitable, or inclusive?" Ding, ding, ding! You're right on the money! But hold onto your backpacks, because our buddy Ryan's got a shiny new target in his crosshairs: Tulsa Public Schools! 🎯

Tulsa Public Schools is basically Oklahoma's big kahuna of education, with over 33,000 students strutting their stuff through those hallowed hallways. And get this – around 80% of these kids aren't sporting that "vanilla ice cream" skin tone, if you catch my drift. 🍦 So, our boy Ryan is like, "Hey, y'all, let's stir the pot even more!" He's moving beyond just talking the conservative talk and is actually taking shots at this district that's seen as a tad more liberal.

Now, remember, this ain't just about Oklahoma; it's like a big trend with Republicans in charge in various states. It's like they're playing a game of "Who Can Make the Most Outrageous Moves in Education?" and folks, Ryan's in it to win it! 🏆

But wait, there's more! While all the other districts got a thumbs-up from the state school board, Tulsa's left hanging like that last slice of pizza you know you shouldn't eat. Ryan's all, "Your standardized test scores are like that sad, deflated balloon from the party no one remembers." And if you thought things couldn't get wilder, he's even talking about revoking their accreditation. 🎈

Tulsa's superintendent, Deborah Gist, wasn't up for the drama, so she's like, "I'm outta here, y'all!" 🏃‍♀️ And she's not holding back – she's like, "Bye, haters! My departure's gonna keep our school's leadership legit, so peace out!" 🖐️

Now, here comes the kicker. According to Oklahoma law, if a school loses its accreditation, kids gotta find new schools that still have their "official stamp of approval." But hold your horses, folks – they can't just dump all those students onto unsuspecting schools like a surprise pop quiz. 📚

And speaking of surprises, remember how I mentioned Ryan's all about the "culture wars" – you know, banning books, targeting transgender students, and probably debating whether pizza is a vegetable? 🍕 Yeah, turns out even some of his fellow Republicans are raising eyebrows like, "Dude, chill out and stop causing chaos!"

So, next time you hear about Oklahoma's education saga, just imagine a bunch of folks dressed up in cowboy hats and roller skates, roller derby-style, duking it out over textbooks and tests. It's like a sitcom episode you never knew you needed. 🤣Hey, folks!
