Ryan Walters, the superintendent of Oklahoma, who made national headlines for pushing an ultra-conservative religious agenda in public schools, is stepping down from his job to lead a conservative nonprofit.
Walters said he would transition to lead the nonprofit, Teacher Freedom Alliance, a day after announcing that
he would mandate Turning Point USA chapters in the state’s high schools.
“I’m excited to announce I’ll be stepping down as
Oklahoma state superintendent and taking on the role as the CEO of the Teacher Freedom Alliance,” Walters
told Fox News Wednesday evening.
Teacher Freedom Alliance is a conservative nonprofit that aims to serve as an alternative to teachers' unions. Approximately 2,700 teachers are enrolled in it, according to its website.
