MAGA Superintendent (Maybe) Caught Watching Porn Wants to Give Teachers ‘America First’ Tests

Carson told the outlet it took her a second to understand what she was looking at. “I saw them just walking across the screen, and I’m like, ‘no.’ I’m sorry I even have to use this language, but I’m like, ‘Those are her nipples.’ And then I’m like, ‘That’s pubic hair.’ What in the world am I watching? I didn’t watch a second longer…  I was so disturbed by it, I was like, ‘What is on your TV?’ I was very stern, like I’d been a mother or a classroom teacher. And I said, ‘What am I watching? Turn it off now!'” There’s a joke to be made about how the meeting was supposed to be about public and not pubic instruction here, but I’ll refrain.

“We have suspended teaching certificates for less than this,” Deatherage said.

The incident occurred during a closed-door meeting session limited to a few board members, attorneys, the board secretary, and legislators. The TV was only viewable for a select few because of the way the room is set up, Deatherage told The Oklahoman. The Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office is currently investigating with assistance from the Oklahoma State Bureau.

Walters became Superintendent of Public Instruction in January 2023, after campaigning on the promise to combat “radical leftists” who were spreading their agendas and indoctrinating young children. He even threatened to revoke a teacher’s certificate for providing a QR code to students that linked to banned books in the Brooklyn Public Library. Meanwhile, Walters has been trying to get the state board to affirm the first religious charter school in the nation, a direct betrayal of Oklahoma’s constitution.

He posted a response on Twitter on July 27. “Any suggestion that a device of mine was used to stream inappropriate content on the television set is categorically false,” he wrote. “I have no knowledge of what was on the TV screen during the alleged incident, and there is absolutely no truth to any implication of wrongdoing.” Sure.

On July 29, Walters claimed he’d been cleared of all charges by the Sheriff’s office, but Aaron Brilbeck, a spokesperson from the department, quickly denied the claims.

“That simply isn’t the case,” Brilbeck told News 4.  “Our investigation is still ongoing. In fact, I would categorize it as being in its infancy. This is going to be a very thorough investigation. And once the investigation is complete, we’re going to be very transparent with our findings.”

The Office of Management and Enterprise Services hired a cybersecurity firm to figure out what happened, but to no avail. The education department later stated that the acting secretary was in the room before the meeting and insisted the TV was on Fox News—but hey, that’s practically porn for the right, right?
