While paying attention to the open governorship in Oklahoma, we ought not to ignore the state's superintendant of public instruction, which is also up for election. The incumbent, Ryan Walters, is one of the most consequential MAGA nuts in the country. He has mandated that all high schools in Oklahoma teach "discrepancies" in the 2020 election that mean that Biden really lost, and he has required not only that Oklahoma schools teach the Bible but that they buy the Trump Bible. It is not yet clear whether Walters is running for reelection and who else might be running, but something should be done to save Oklahoma schoolchildren from religious and political indoctrination.

Isn't that Drummond idiot (running for governor) related to Ree Drummond of Pioneer Woman fame? Shameful.

Apparently Ree is married to Gentner's second cousin, so not closely related

I disagree with him on most issues, but he is far saner than basically any other Oklahoma Republican and has been an opponent of Walters.
