from Furthermore with Amanda Head

On this episode of the podcast, Ryan Walters, former Oklahoma State Superintendent and now CEO of the Teacher Freedom Alliance, joins to break down his ongoing fight to reshape American education. Walters details his efforts in Oklahoma to eliminate CRT from classrooms, expand school choice, and return decision-making power to parents.He exposes the massive financial muscle of teachers unions, revealing more than $10 million spent to oppose his reforms and over $1 billion in political spending over the past decade. Walters argues that this influence has allowed the left to maintain a grip on education, often at the expense of student outcomes.With momentum building, including a 14,000-member surge in his organization, Walters makes the case that a growing number of Americans are pushing back against what he describes as ideological indoctrination in schools, and are demanding accountability, transparency, and parental control in education.You can learn more about the Teacher Freedom Alliance by visiting their website: https://www.teacherfreedomalliance.com/ and you can follow Ryan Walters on X, along with this podcast and Host Amanda Head by searching for their respective handles: @RyanWalters_, @AmandaHead, and @FurthermorePod.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
