Observercast

Back To School In Walters’ Toxic Brew

By Arnold Hamilton

on

Oklahoma’s students returned to class this month amidst arguably the most toxic environment ever, courtesy of state Superintendent Ryan Walters. For this week’s Back-To-School Observercast, teacher-turned-Rep. Jacob Rosecrants, veteran teacher Sandra Valentine and Mid-Del Superintendent Rick Cobb help explain the challenges – and landmines – facing the state’s 500-plus districts, 700,000-plus students, their parents, teachers and administrators. This conversation was recorded Aug. 10 at The Observer’s monthly Newsmakers event at Full Circle Books in Oklahoma City.

Observercast and Newsmakers are presented by the Mary Lou Lemon Foundation.

The Observer carries on the "give 'em hell" tradition of its founder, the late Frosty Troy. I read it from cover to cover. A progressive wouldn't be able to live in a red state without it.
