“You keep cutting my mic, but I promise you won’t silence these Oklahoma teachers!” —Rep. Scott Inman

How does Oklahoma spell tenacity? R E P S C O T T I N M A N. #OkLeg #OklaEd #MyHero @OKHouseofReps

Oh my gawd. We followed @govmaryfallin up the stairs so we shared it with the crowd and they took out their keys 🔑 I’m crying.

Today we walked... again. 13+ miles to the Capitol... again. We will do it tomorrow and every day until there is a resolution. #oklaed #mps #togetherwearestronger #okteacherwalkout @koco @NEWS9 @kfor

We're with you, Oklahoma teachers. #oklaed #oklahomateachers #oklahomaeducation #OklahomaTeachersWalkout #oklaedwalkout

@smileviviann Thanks so much @smileviviann! We walked 12 today. We will walk everyday until this is resolved!

Oklahoma teachers are amazing!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ (Eleven hearts for eleven miles) #oklaed #oklahomateacherwalkout #OklahomaTeachers twitter.com/mackinleycross…

@Rhetticent All of those things are still in effect....

@MackinleyCross What happened to the grading system for schools? And graduation criteria? Reading proficiency?

Today we walked 11+ miles to the Capitol. I’d walk 100x that to make a difference for my students #mps #oklaed #OklahomaTeachersWalkout

We are walking to the Capitol again tomorrow! Leaving MHS at 7:30. All teachers, supporters, & districts welcome! Spread the word! #oklaed #okteacherwalkout

@Rhetticent Not sure what system you’re thinking of, but we have ridiculous amounts of accountability at the district, state, & fed level. I’m sure the 30,000+ Ts at the Capitol would be happy to have you visit their classrooms any day if you would like to see what we are teaching! #oklaed

@MackinleyCross You're employed by a public monopoly with zero accountability for the end product, yet you demand more funds. What are we getting for this investment?

@Rhetticent Your private business? I’m sorry, but I’m a public employee who is charged with educating and preparing America’s future. Do you have kids in OK public schools?

@MackinleyCross I make less today than I did 10 yeas ago. My small business can't afford benefits for my employees. Where do people like me go to strike for a raise? Will student performance improve now?

@Rhetticent I don’t want “more” money. I want the billions of dollars that have been taken away the last 10 years. We haven’t stayed stagnant, it’s been a steep decline. Over 2 billion cut from the #oklaed budget in the last 2 years

@MackinleyCross How about demonstrations and walkouts to demand school consolidation and better reading and math levels? How much money is enough? We have a bloated, inefficient government monopoly: more money never fixes it. Never has. Read about HB 1017 and the great lotttery scam.

I’m just going to leave this right here.... twitter.com/newson6/status…

@MagicMemMayhem Yes it was!!! See you again tomorrow!
