Exclusive: Oklahoma Education Board members speak out about inappropriate images in Walters office
In an exclusive sit-down interview with News 9, three members of the Oklahoma State Board of Education are publicly sharing their accounts of a startling incident that unfolded during a closed-door meeting inside State Superintendent Ryan Walters office. The board members, Becky Carson, Ryan Deatherage, and Mike Tinney, allege they saw nude images playing on Walters office television during an executive session.
Their accounts come amid a growing political storm: Walters has called the accusations lies, claimed he has been cleared of wrongdoing, and demanded that the board members resign. The Oklahoma County Sheriff says the investigation is still in its early stages.

Q: Becky, can you describe what you saw and how it unfolded in the superintendents office?
Becky Carson: We were in the middle of our executive meeting I had noticed the TV was on when I first came in the room, but I really didnt pay much attention I had to make eye contact in that direction, and I was kind of in shock. I was like, What am I seeing? Are those women naked? I kind of moved forward a little bit. And I was like, No, they are fully unclothed.

Q: Becky, how did you confront Walters? What happened in the moment?
Carson: I basically treated him like a 15-year-old son. I said, What am I watching? What is on your TV? Get it off now. He looked at me and then turned around and said, Oh my gosh, and stood up, picked up the remote he goes, I cant get it off. And I said, Get it off immediately. Get it off now.

OP
Cost of living and much lower rent/housing prices will decimate that mere $10,000 difference

I'm sure there are thousands of teachers in NY and CA devastated that their life dreams to teach in OK has been dashed.

Looks like Superintendent Walters managed to weasel out of the porn in his office incident.

These are Jackie Chan movies and I am familiar with them both. Jackie Chan DOES NOT have nudity in his films.

If they want to work in Oklahoma, then they should sign the document and then teach the way they want to.
