Ryan Walters: “They were pushing an ideology rather than Oklahoma academic…”

“Walter says intent is the key difference between what he taught and what Mustang and Tulsa Public schools were in violation of doing. They were pushing an ideology rather than Oklahoma academic standards. It was telling students to feel a certain way and instructing faculty to tell students to feel a certain way.

But argues House Bill 1775 leaves too much open for interpretation.” (01:59–02:10)
