Walters’ Dangerous Hypocrisy

on

Minister Lori Allen Walke’s words reveal Ryan Walters for the dangerous and disgusting hypocrite he is.

Whether wrapping himself in our flag, thumping the Bible in self-promotion, dissing his board members or disregarding the Constitution, Brother Walters has managed to elevate himself, and by connection the rest of us, to national scorn and ridicule.

It’s not just the dripping and disgusting arrogance he displays while running roughshod over laws, lay people, logic and others’ liberties; rather, it’s the dangerous and destructive hypocrite he is while doing it.

Forget for now, if you can, the on-going investigation of “Naked-Gate” because it is only the latest in a long line of national embarrassments this immature megalomaniac has bequeathed to our state, its citizens and their 704,000 children enrolled in our much-maligned public schools.

 

Over the last three years Reckless Ryan, even before but especially during his term as superintendent, has generated an endless string of lawsuits, all paid for by you every step of the way to their losing conclusions. Each time non-lawyer Walters would play the role of a modern-day Clarence Darrow – though the demented and dimwitted version – then morphed into a lonely and courageous Don Quixote.

Only he stood between battered, abused parents and terrorist teachers who peddled their Godless gobbledygook, guaranteeing their youngsters would eventually be molded into a modern-day Karl Marxes.

Bibles for classrooms. Social Studies smugly assuring the 2020 presidential race was stolen. Ideological screening for newly arriving educators especially from “blue” states. Pontificating about and praising private for-profit promoters regardless of their often illegal involvement in previous mis-adventures.

And, of course, the phony patriotism coupled with his patron saint in DC, the draft-dodging and deranged Donald Trump – never a speech or lecture given without reverent reference to both.

In 2022, 56.8% of voters cluelessly and carelessly cast their ballots for Reckless. I can’t imagine a single one would repeat such action again in 2026.

But then again, I am reminded of our state motto and in case you have forgotten or didn’t know it is:

Imagine That!
