Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond
OKLAHOMA CITY (Sept. 24, 2025) – Attorney General Gentner Drummond made the following remarks this evening following the announced resignation of State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters.
“Ever since Gov. Stitt appointed Ryan Walters to serve as Secretary of Education, we have witnessed a stream of never-ending scandal and political drama. From the mishandling of pandemic relief funds that resulted in families buying Xboxes and refrigerators to the latest squabbling with board members over what was or wasn’t showing on TV, the Stitt-Walters era has been an embarrassment to our state.
“Even worse, test scores and reading proficiency are at historic lows.
“It’s time for a State Superintendent of Public Instruction who will actually focus on quality instruction in our public schools. Gov. Stitt used to say he would make us Top Ten, but after seven years we are ranked 50th in education. Our families, our students and our teachers deserve so much more.”
