The self-proclaimed enemy of “the radical left” and all things woke who heads Oklahoma’s public schools has proven his ignorance anew by declaring that race was not a factor in theAs Oklahoma schools have been required by law to teach since 2002, the massacre was a 1921 paroxysm of racist violence in which white mobs killed as many as 300 Black residents and burned some 1,600 homes and businesses in what was known as Black Wall Street.
At the time, Walters was preparing his students for the Advanced Placement U.S. History exam. The video shows him sharing the screen with a black and white photo of armed soldiers escorting the first nine Black students into Little Rock Central High School in 1957. “And so these psychologists went on and talked about how detrimental that was,” Walter said. “So it’s a fascinating case.”The Walters of 2020 clearly understood that even if he had some of the details wrong.
One question that arises from this 50-minute class three years ago is how can Walters now declare that race is not a factor that demands critical study in American society? Could it be that he simply found it politically expedient in a red state going even redder?appointed Walters the Oklahoma secretary of education.
Last week, Walters was in Philadelphia to address a gathering of the far-right Moms for Liberty, which the Southern Poverty Law Center has branded an extremist group. He spoke much the same nuttiness there as he did at the library in Norman.
