@GinnieGraham @tulsaworld What else does Oklahoma have to put up with from Walters. My heavens, he's just bringing public education down further. And wasn't he the guy who called the Oklahoma Education Association terrorists? Why doesn't he get fired?
@GinnieGraham @tulsaworld Ahhhh. The old math is racist defense. Interesting take. We need to fix the inner city schools but we also need parents to do the actual work!
@GinnieGraham @tulsaworld It means actually teaching the kids to read and write. I have a nephew who graduated without even being able to read his own birthday card. This needs to stop. Has nothing to do with being poor. Everything to do with what or how they're being taught.
