"In the weeks since he was accused of showing explicit content on his office television, Oklahoma schools chief Ryan Walters has canceled a State Board of Education meeting and skipped a subsequent one on September 3, calling into question his ability to oversee public education and renewing threats to oust him from leadership. Walters has not commented publicly on his absence, but a spokesperson for him said in a statement, "Superintendent Walters is focused on tackling the big issues facing Oklahoma schools.""
"In July, two education board members, Ryan Deatherage and Becky Carson, said they saw full-frontal nudity on Walters' office TV during an executive session of the board. The state superintendent not only vehemently denied the claims but also accused the duo of spreading "falsehoods" about him in a coordinated attack spearheaded by Gov. Kevin Stitt, a fellow Republican with whom Walters has clashed."
Oklahoma schools chief Ryan Walters canceled an August State Board of Education meeting and skipped a September 3 meeting amid allegations he showed explicit content on his office television.

Two board members reported seeing full-frontal nudity on his office TV during an executive session; Walters denied the claims and accused them of spreading falsehoods.
