Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma state superintendent who attracted attention for promoting Bibles in schools and his contentious tenure, has announced his resignation. His departure marks the end of a scandal-plagued period during which he ordered schools to teach the Bible and openly opposed teachers unions. Walters plans to take on a leadership role in the Teacher Freedom Alliance, a conservative organization with a mission to challenge educational unions. His resignation has elicited reactions from state lawmakers, educators, and the public, with many questioning the implications for the future of education in Oklahoma.
