My quick take on Walter’s SDE Budget plan so far: His plan is a mix of some of what Mississippi, Tennessee, North Carolina, & Texas are doing and then sprinkling things in we’ve already invested in, like LETRS training. This is a Frankenplan! 🧵
His plan is asking for a ton of $ with very little deets. It’s like: “Just trust me and my SDE.”
Judging from the questions (from both sides of the aisle) Walters has a ton of work to do to build relationships & trust with #okleg
@ryanmwalters what is transgender education??!! Joe Biden isn’t in our classrooms in Oklahoma bro
It’s trippy to see how his tone changes when he retreats into campaign mode…”indoctrination”, “Joe Biden” “liberal”. Ryan Talking Points is who Oklahoma elected to lead our schools. *Deep sigh*
Dammit Ryan…widespread radical indoctrination isn’t occurring in our schools. And Biden? Again? Biden (who isn’t a radical liberal) scares the 💩 out of these folk and I don’t get it. Ffs 🤦♂️
I do agree with Ryan that we need to do things differently, but by different I mean: Respect Ts, fully fund the formula, end high stakes standardized tests, & de-corporatize the corporate reform ed system…not vilify Ts, push vouchers/ESA or detail-free “silver bullets”.
