teachers union="enormous army of teachers"

So, they want a teachers union, just one that undermines it's members instead of advocating for them.

Yeah. I am going to ditch the union that kept my salary decent, if not spectacular, over the years and ensured me a decent pension now I am retired just so I can "own the libs."

I see posts on FB from all kinds of anti-teachers' union groups. The teachers who comment on them roast them royally.

Oh what a fine young perv walking a sure to be successful career path. He's mediagenic (love that drooping mustache which is a MAGA shout out in the West) and will crawl over broken glass to get Fox air time. A real comer. Love also the financial ecosystem that provides secure and prosperous lives for those of his ilk. I bet he feels the world is his oyster. But over the years his world will darken and he will become frustrated and angry. He should turn away from this path he is on now and avoid that sad end of his ambitions.

Ta, Dok. For fuck's fucking sake! Teachers have been among my favorite humans since age five. Both of my oldest friends are teachers. I even married a teacher. While it may be true in some cases that the teachers' union keeps bad teachers on payroll, they're removed from the classroom and given other work to do (and there's plenty of work in any school), at least in NYC. Ryan with the mustache-from-Christopher-Street circa 1971 is working (if one can call it that) to ruin children's lives.

Good bye Ryan Walters. Very glad that this piece of shit has been wiped from the Office of Public Instruction. This turd needed flushing years ago. Now Oklahoma can go about improving its public school system.

And many did and some still think that way - especially in this Administration.

Walters oversaw Oklahoma’s education ranking drop from 49th to 50th out of 50 states and said, “my work here is done.”

As someone who teaches at two colleges, one of which is unionized and the other is in the early stages of organizing a union, I think I can say with confidence that the anti-teachers union movement is fighting a losing battle. Not only are unions still strong in public K-12 schools, but higher education institutions are getting into the act. Something like professors being fired for quoting Charlie Kirk may even accelerate the process.

Local tabloid OKC Gazette has a nice article about all the meetings and boards he's failed to attend. Just another lazy right-wing grifter.

I'm sure there was a big push behind the scene to get him out following that naked ((somebody)) video.

I've seen documentaries about the pizza delivery business where a significant number of those involved have 'staches like that.
