Ryan Walters resigning as state superintendent to lead Teacher Freedom Alliance 'battle tank' Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters said Sept. 25, 2025, he is resigning to lead the Teacher Freedom Alliance.

So if we continue to receive emails from him at TFA we will know our data was stolen?

Also, I know the other TFA is also anti-union but they have got to hate this acronym being used. This new TFA is like, anti-anti-anti-union. How will we distinguish?

Revised OSDE social studies standards tell students to 'identify discrepancies in 2020 election results' Significant changes to OSDE social studies standards about the first Trump administration went unnoticed prior to a Feb. 27, 2025, approval.

Flying under the radar of some State Board of Education members, OSDE’s social studies standards recently approved at the Feb. 27 meeting seem to point students towards election denialism, vastly deviating from what was proposed during the public comment period. #oklaed
