Are you an Oklahoma teacher who's left the profession in the past couple of years because of the climate surrounding education here? I'd enjoy speaking with you about your experiences. Please email me at mdevans@oklahoman.com #oklaed


Great life advice!


To put it another way -- Les Miles, Eddie Sutton, Julie Goodenough and Tom Holliday were coaching Oklahoma State University athletic teams when this document was posted in the courthouse in Stillwater. #okstate

In case you’re planning to place bets on how often the Payne County Courthouse updates its public notice display case… just take the over.

As I conclude my 12 years of service in the legislature, I want to express my gratitude to the people of district 53 and Oklahoma. Serving you has been a honor and a privilege.

Gore official says she doesn’t have to get city emails from company that ran its server. But yes, she does. Can’t avoid Open Records Act by having public records in custody of non-govt entity. ktul.com/news/local/is-…

Serving in the state Senate has been the honor and privilege of a lifetime. I appreciate those who have been by my side throughout this journey, especially my wife @MKTreat Without the support and encouragement from her, my family and many others, it wouldn’t have been possible.

Greg Treat's exit as the leader of the Oklahoma Senate created a power vacuum among GOP lawmakers. oklahoman.com/story/news/pol…

My whole interview with Ryan Walters is here: cnn.com/2024/11/18/pol…

I asked Ryan Walters, Oklahoma State Superintendent, about a controversial video he's requiring students watch of him leading a prayer for President-Elect Trump, as well as the 500 Trump-endorsed Bibles he purchased for classrooms. Oklahoma ranks 48th in the U.S. for education.

CNN: Where is your authority coming from to enforce this prayer video to be played in schools? RYAN WALTERS: I appreciate you pushing the left-wing narrative C: It's not a left-wing narrative. I'm literally talking about a petition parents have signed w/more than 14k signatures

Important info (the Request for Purchase) dug up by some of my Capitol colleagues regarding the 500 Trump Bibles upon which Supt. Walters just wasted your tax dollars (on a political stunt, no less)! 👀

Oklahoma's state superintendent is now doing videos for political advocacy groups -- and judging from the background, this one was shot in his state-owned office. #oklaed

What happens if the U.S. Department of Education is dismantled? @RyanWaltersSupt

Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Okla.) is the next House GOP policy chair, per a source in the room.


If you follow me here, I'm also over on Bluesky -- same name. I'll try to keep regular tabs on both accounts for the near future. Please follow me over there if you do so over here. #oklaed
