GOOD NEWS & BAD NEWS!
Ryan Walters Fails in Humiliating Bid for Secretary of Education!

John,

While Trump continues to select awful TV personalities to run his next administration, allow us to share and laugh at one exclusion from that sad club. Ryan Walters failed to rage bait and post his way to Washington as Trump selected another anti-public school zealot for the position.

He wasted nearly $25,000 of state dollars on Trump endorsed Bibles. He has spent tens of thousands of taxpayer funds on the PR firm headed by the wife of the chief architect of Project 2025. And you’ve seen his countless screeds in his car. These years of malfeasance, the thousands of taxpayer dollars wasted, and Trump still didn't pick him.

Pictured is Trump's totally normal pick to lead the US Dept. of Education, former WWE CEO & performer Linda McMahon.

Look folks, anti-public education groups are already salivating about how McMahon will cause Mayhem by helping them pilfer money meant for public school students and funnel it into private voucher schemes. We're in for a rough one with this nominee. There's no doubt our schools will continue to face sabotage from both Walters and now the USDE.

But, for today, we encourage you to laugh at the misfortune of a failed man who has painted himself into the saddest, loneliest corner. And then, we ask you to help us get to work because the bad news is - he's still Oklahoma's Superintendent of Public Education. Local school boards have been fighting against Walters’ mismanagement and political schemes these past two years. And school board elections are coming up. Filing deadlines for candidates in these races start next month. If you can chip in you can help us equip their campaigns to connect with voters, and help us lead the fight in standing up for kids over politics.

In Solidarity,
