It’s important to explicitly name what’s happening here: The Governor of Oklahoma is using taxpayer money to target public schools in a town which saw one of the worst instances of racial violence in American history & accuse them of breaking the law by teaching their own history

2/ He’s doing all of this for one reason: to distract from his administration’s *multiple* recent scandals and help his re-election chances this November by generating Fox News headlines.
I explain why the “audit” he’s calling for is bullshit here:

3/ Reporters need to ask Stitt & Walters what *exactly* they believe Tulsa Public Schools did to violate his "anti-CRT" law.
Republicans get away with this stuff by making vague illusions w/out concrete details that could be either proven or disproven.

4/ They use lots of vague language about "not teaching one race or sex is superior to another race or sex" without ever saying when or how the public school teachers they're accusing supposedly did that.
If they're going to make accusations, they should be forced to be specific.

5/ Public school teachers & admins deserve the right to face their accusers, especially when their accuser is using taxpayer money & the bully pulpit of the Governor's office to accuse them.
If @govstitt & @sec_walters are going to cast aspersions, they better provide receipts.

@GovStitt @sec_walters 6/ Last month, we learned that @GovStitt & @sec_walters did no oversight of $18 million in emergency edu funding, violating both federal & state requirements.
Now they're calling for an audit of an adversary over $20k—0.01% of the amount they misspent.

@GovStitt @sec_walters 7/ Fraud by Stitt's donor buddies at Epic cost the state more than $22 million—& they tried to hide it.
The Tulsa Public Schools discrepancy Stitt & co. are trying to hype up was for $20k—and the Superintendent was the one who found & disclosed the issue.
