EXCLUSIVE — If Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma state superintendent of public instruction, had his way, he'd get teachers unions and the federal Department of Education out of public schools.
The 38-year-old superintendent, who has spent his first nine months in office courting controversy after controversy, from approving the formation of a Catholic virtual charter school to publicly feuding with the leadership of Tulsa Public Schools, isn't afraid to name and shame his political foes.
Walters said that the main goal of a conservative education policy framework is centering it"around a family-focused vision" that"includes parents every step of the way." This means supporting parental rights, which, among other things, requires pushing for school choice. Teachers unions, Walters said, view education"as a way to create Democratic voters" and that they use the education system to"promote their ideology in order to win elections."
He continued,"They view [education] as a way to create an ideology early on in kids. You look at the positions they've taken; they are absurd. Talking about radical gender theory with first and second graders, talking about telling kids that they're racist because of the color of their skin in grade school.
