MAGA Superintendent Who Put Bibles in Schools Faces Porn Investigation

Ryan Walters, Oklahoma’s culture warrior superintendent of public instruction, is a self-avowed opponent of pornography in education—so much so that he’s accused schools of “pushing pornography” for containing decidedly non-pornographic books like The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini and The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls.

Now, he’s under investigation after allegedly displaying a pornographic video on a TV in his office during the closed-door portion of a Board of Education meeting last week.

According to Oklahoma politics site NonDoc, board member Ryan Deatherage noticed the video on a screen in Walter’s office while a parent discussed appealing a district transfer denial. Deatherage says the video featured “multiple nude women” and “some sort of ‘chiropractic table.’”

As Deatherage considered how to broach the subject, fellow board member Becky Carson—the only other person with a view of the screen—spotted it too. “I was like, ‘What am I seeing?’” Carson told NonDoc. At first, she wondered, “Is that woman naked?” before thinking that “she’s got a body suit on.” After noticing nipples and pubic hair, she realized, “That is not a body suit.”

I figured this guy was on the path to GOP Glory and we would be seeing him in Washington soon.

Hoping this will take the wind out of his sails.

Ryan Walters was already controversial, but alleged images of naked women on his office television during a board meeting have made matters vastly worse.

Another religious fraud demanded bibles be placed in all classrooms in Oklahoma â€¦ while he watched porn during an online meeting.

But now the radical activist is facing a different kind of problem. NBC News reported:

A sheriff’s office in Oklahoma is investigating an incident during a state Board of Education meeting last week that reportedly involved images of naked women on the state school superintendent’s office television. The images were seen during the board’s executive session, held in Superintendent Ryan Walters’ office, The Oklahoman newspaper of Oklahoma City reported, citing members Ryan Deatherage and Becky Carson, who attended the meeting.

....Indeed, Walters isn’t exactly benefiting from an outpouring of support from his fellow GOP officials. Two leading Republicans in the Legislature, including Senate President Pro Tem Lonnie Paxton, issued a statement late last week on a separate investigation into the matter.

“This is a bizarre and troubling situation that raises serious questions about the events and what took place during yesterday’s executive session at the Oklahoma State Board of Education meeting,” Paxton said. Board members’ accounts, he added, “paint a strange, unsettling scene that demands clarity and transparency.”

State House Speaker Kyle Hilbert, who’s also a Republican, called the allegations “serious” and said that “an expeditious third-party review is warranted.”.....

Waters has called an Oklahoma teachers' union a “terrorist organization.” He’s partnered with a far-right propaganda outlet, bringing its materials into classrooms. He pushed a social studies curriculum guidance that directed educators to push pro-Trump conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election.

At one point last fall, as my MSNBC colleague Ja’han Jones noted, Waters even wanted to require schools to show children a video of him praying for Donald Trump — though the state attorney general’s office said that couldn’t happen.

It’s against this backdrop that the radical official is suddenly facing a new and unusual kind of mess. Watch this space.
