Teacher Freedom Regional: Heartland | May 22–23 | Stand Up. Teach True. Lead Boldly.

Ryan Walters

CEO

Ryan Walters is one of America’s boldest conservative education reformers, leading the charge to restore freedom, break union control, and return power to commonsense teachers and parents.

Elected in 2022 as Oklahoma’s State Superintendent, Walters wasted no time dismantling the failed status quo. He created Oklahoma’s first Office of School Choice, banned predators from classrooms, brought the Bible back into schools, stripped accreditation from lawless DEI-pushing districts, and forced failing schools to improve. His reforms are proof that conservative leadership can deliver real victories for teachers and families.

A former classroom teacher who saw firsthand how unions and bureaucrats suffocate students, Walters is now fighting and winning by taking the fight for liberty in education nationally. His bold disruption has created a national movement, and the support of parents and patriots across the country.

Ryan Walters is more than a former state superintendent. He is a conservative warrior in the fight for America’s future, restoring freedom, defending families, protecting teachers, and proving that unions can be stopped. Victory is possible when leaders, teachers, and individuals across the country refuse to back down.

Saving Public Education Together

"There is so much power in realizing you are not alone. Teachers are in the frontlines of a very dysfunctional system and society. We are the foundation and future for the direction of both.   Empowering teachers will help change our society in a good way, but there are so many teachers who are afraid to speak up. Thank you for helping us find each other and educate ourselves and others!"
