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 ® 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.
Sounds like he needs more bibles in his office.
Yes, he can hide his porn in them.
He made acknowledgment that he saw it,” Carson told NonDoc. “And I said, ‘Turn it off. Now.’ And he was like, ‘What is this? What is this?’ So he acknowledged it was inappropriate just by those words. And he was like, ‘I can’t get it to turn off. I can’t figure out how to turn it off.’ And I said, ‘Get it turned off.’ So he finally got it turned off, and that was the end of it.”
The state’s head of education doesn’t know how to turn off or unplug a television? Explains a lot.
Edit: I forgot that I’d already commented on this and came to promote the Friendly Atheist newsletter and podcast (which is a recap of the newsletter but with one host explaining the stories to the other). They cover this bozo a lot because he’s generally terrible. Check it out if you’re interested in such subjects as creeping Christian Nationalism and other right-wing bullshit. It’s sometimes pretty entertaining, so long as you’re resigned to accepting that we live in hell.
So he either uses a VPN, or he show his identity to access porn. So which is it asshole. Can us Oklahoman please remove him already? I still can’t believe people agree with this asshate.
I automatically assume anyone over religious is a closeted major pervert. The hyper conservative politician that hates gays? Yea, he is going to be found in a men’s bathroom “doing a sin”. The guy that holds the Bible upside down for a photo op? He is likely the antichrist.
“Maybe if the Bible is everywhere, I won’t want to sin!”
I swear these people treat that book like it’s God himself. Ya’ll ain’t got the Guru Granth Sahib buddy.
I wanna see his browsing history.
No finer way to run kids away from the church than to jam the Bible up their ass.
But is it LGBTQ+ porn?
Yes. Two women.
Haha, good one
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.
I’d be willing to bet on a few of his categories if he thinks all queer people are sexual deviants
As a warrior of faith, he needs to know the enemy so that he can fight it.
Plays? Maybe he can help gamers out with some current events…
caught streaming pornography
He only updated his onlyfans!
