据共和党参议员Adam Pugh说,前俄克拉何马州州长Ryan Walters的教育任务在法律上是无效和被忽视的,因为他无权执行这些任务。 Former Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters' education mandates were legally invalid and ignored, as he lacked authority to enforce them, according to Republican Senator Adam Pugh.

俄克拉荷马州前州长Ryan Walters(Ryan Walters)在其任职期间发布了教育授权,但共和党参议员Adam Pugh(Adam Pugh)指出,这些授权缺乏法律权威,无法执行,因为作为董事会主席,Walters没有单方面授权改变或处罚地区的权力。 Oklahoma’s former Superintendent Ryan Walters issued education mandates during his tenure, but Republican Senator Adam Pugh stated they lacked legal authority and were unenforceable, as Walters, as board chair, had no unilateral power to mandate changes or penalize districts. 尽管有降低认证级别或启动审计的威胁,但这些命令没有法定支持,基本上被忽视。 Despite threats to downgrade accreditation or trigger audits, the orders had no statutory backing and were largely ignored. Pugh说这些行动具有象征意义, 可能是为了建立政治形象。 Pugh said the actions were symbolic, possibly aimed at building a political profile. Walters在争议中辞职,现在担任教师自由联盟的首席执行官,该联盟是一个支持美国的反工会团体,得到自由基金会的支持,向教育工作者提供传统工会的替代办法,允许他继续影响政府以外的教育政策。 Walters, who resigned amid controversy, now serves as CEO of the Teacher Freedom Alliance, a pro-America, anti-union group backed by the Freedom Foundation that offers educators an alternative to traditional unions, allowing him to continue influencing education policy outside government.
