Oklahoma Secretary of Education Ryan Walters asked the state Board of Education to revoke the teaching certificate of a former Norman Public Schools teacher who quit her job after a complaint from a parent that she made political statements about access to literature in her classroom.
It would be the first teacher certificate revoked in Oklahoma of its kind if the board was to follow through on Walters’ request. Teacher’s certificates in Oklahoma are usually tied to criminal behavior, according to Department of Education spokesperson Rob Crissinger.
