Ryan Walters criticizes familiar foils on his first day out of office

On his first day out of office, now-former state schools Superintendent Ryan Walters played to a friendly audience and took political shots at two of his favorite targets — the media and teachers’ unions .

Walters spoke Wednesday, Oct. 1, at a monthly event for OCPAC just across the street from the Oliver Hodge Building, which houses the Oklahoma State Department of Education, which he once led. The OCPAC Foundation touts itself as promoting Christian principles and culture and has actively pushed to support elected officials who will mesh faith and politics. OCPAC stands for Original Constitutional Principles Affecting Culture.
