The effort is led by members of the state house GOP.

    Walters, a right-wing extremist, has waged a war on all things he considers “woke,” is accused by some advocates of creating a hostile environment for LGBTQ+ students in the state, and mandated that the Bible be taught in public schools.

      I believe in two things… Discipline and the bible, Here you’ll receive both.

    Walters, who was elected with strong support from conservative voters, has dismissed the calls for an investigation as a politically motivated attack by moderate Republicans in league with Democrats, the Oklahoma Voice reports.

    It’s all those RINOs, right bud? It couldn’t be because you’re massively over-reaching or anything, of course not.

    The impact of Walters’ policies and rhetoric has also been reflected in a sharp increase in crisis calls from LGBTQ+ students in Oklahoma. The Rainbow Youth Project USA, a national organization dedicated to supporting LGBTQ+ youth, tells The Advocate that since February, the group has received over 1,000 monthly crisis calls from Oklahoma alone, making it the leading state for such calls. This marks a significant increase from the average of 352 monthly calls the organization received from Oklahoma before Walters took office. According to the organization, 63 percent of these callers specifically named Walters as a source of their distress, and 84 percent reported being bullied both in school and through social media. The organization says it is currently providing mental health counseling to 184 LGBTQ+ teens in the state and represents several students in Title IX claims.

    The guy has failed to use funds apportioned to Oklahoma schools from both Federal and State sources, and has stonewalled attempts from the state legislature to investigate the Oklahoma DoE. He’s being sued for defamation of a superintendent and has outright defied the Oklahoma Supreme Court.

    He’s speedrunning the alienation of his own party.
