OKLAHOMA — State Secretary of Education Ryan Walters is sending two letters to address bathroom policies at an Oklahoma school district.
Another letter was sent to Attorney General John O'Connor asking him to get involved and stop the board's current bathroom policy.
Secretary Walters issued the following statement after sending the letters and O'Connor's response:
"I urge the Stillwater School Board to make the right decision and end their current bathroom policy that puts "wokeness" before the safety of our students. If they do not, I plan to work tirelessly with Attorney General O'Connor and Governor Stitt to put an end to this dangerous policy.
A misinterpretation of Title IX and a liberal east coast court decision does not dictate the law in Oklahoma or excuse the fear young girls are facing in Stillwater school bathrooms. I will do everything that I can to protect our students."
