Across the Desk - S6:E11 (Ryan Walters MIA, but the Cavalry is on the Way)

This week on Across the Desk, Kit talks about how Sec. of Education Ryan Walters has been MIA over the past month, and in the middle of election season. But that's okay! Because he went back to regroup after getting kicked pretty hard when it came to the defaming letter he wrote about a Norman High School teacher. Now the Oklahoma Legislature has even stepped in as House Leader Charles McCall is making base claims about Joy and Jena, Democrats running on opposite tickets of Stitt and Walters. As well as 14 Legislatures who signed a letter asking for the State Board of Education to investigate for HB1775 violations and to immediately revoke said teacher from Norman's Teaching Certificate. Even after the Ryan Walters Fiasco of the same measure. And the fact that the Norman School Board and High School administration have said there was no violation of HB 1775. It's all about saving a campaign whose boat has taken on a lot of water from more than one self inflected wound....
