Two days after U.S. voters elected former President Donald Trump to a second term, state schools Superintendent Ryan Walters issued a memo listing what he described as the Oklahoma State Department of Education's priorities under Trump.
Walters directed the memo, with a subject line of “Regarding the Elimination of U.S. Department of Education,” to Oklahoma parents and copied in public school superintendents. He said he would direct "agency resources" to make sure five priorities were championed, including "ending social indoctrination in classrooms" and "stopping illegal immigration's impact on our schools."
