Ryan Walters, Oklahoma’s Republican State Superintendent of Public Instruction, is under investigation after he was allegedly caught streaming pornography on his office TV during a meeting of the state Board of Education.

Oklahoma’s Senate President Pro Tem Lonnie Paxton (R) confirmed in a July 25 statement that the state’s Office of Management and Enterprise Services is leading an inquiry into the incident, according to The Oklahoman.

The outlet, along with Oklahoma media nonprofit NonDoc, reported Friday that Oklahoma State Board of Education members Becky Carson and Ryan Deatherage said they had seen images of naked women on a television in Walters’ office during the closed-door executive session portion of a July 24 meeting.

Carson and Deatherage said that Walters, who drew bi-partisan criticism in early 2024 for appointing anti-LGBTQ+ hate influencer Chaya Raichik to Oklahoma’s library advisory committee to remove supposedly “pornographic” books, neither apologized for the incident nor mentioned it further.

Oh my, that sounds rather unholy. Also, in your office? C'mon.

Oh, it was worse than that. This creep had some kinda softcore porn playing on the TV in his office during a board meeting. Got caught red handed.

These losers have no shame

NOOOOOOOOOO, WHAT AN ABSOLUTE GOONER, WTF

Eh, I personally couldn't care less, to be honest. Does kinda paint him as a creep, I guess.

But not having the self awareness to not having it playing at a damn board meeting is just ridiculous.

Did kinda crack me up heating about the response of the women who saw it playing.

I don't really care what he was watching as long as it's legal. Watching porn in a place where other people are going to see? That's really bad. Like, doing it in the bathroom would've been better. At a board meeting should be sexual harassment or something, idk. Weirdo.

We do really need to get weirdo back in the rotation.
