Thread by @AC_NoChill

I’ve seen myself or heard firsthand accounts of some really offensive/ridiculous things these lawmakers have said on air or to their constituents re: the #OKwalk4kids. We should keep a thread the “best” so we don’t forget in November. Use #OkLegFAIL if you share one. #OklaEd

Rep. Bobby Cleveland told @NEWS9 that teachers were paid to teach and needed to get back to the classroom the morning the #OKwalk4kids started. #OkLegFAIL

Last week, Mary Fallin said she hoped the teachers would come to the Capitol on Monday and say “thank you,” then head back to the classroom. #OkLegFAIL #OKwalk4kids

Today, Fallin told @OmarVillafranca a couple of doozies: Teachers were acting like teenagers who wanted a better car. She also claimed ANTIFA was among the teacher protesters. 🙄 #OkLegFAIL #oklaed #OKwalk4kids

Rep. Kevin McDugle of BA? I’ll just leave this here and let it speak for itself. 🙄 #OKwalk4kids #OkLegFAIL #oklaed

Two different teachers from Westville told two of my family members that Sen. Wayne Shaw of Grove told them “its not like Westville is the brass ring of Oklahoma schools.” 😡😡
#OkLegFAIL #oklaEd #OKwalk4kids

Sen. Marty Quinn of Claremore said teachers should take a different job if they don’t like the pay. He also told a very articulate student that she was “too young” to understand the school funding crisis. #OkLegFAIL #OKwalk4kids #OklaEd

But she wasn’t too young to know that a local bank has to pay for copy paper because their school is so poor! #OkLegFAIL #OKwalk4kids

Today, Rep. Dale Derby told Owasso teachers the problem was “that Democrats owned this state for 100 years. Republicans have been in charge for 10 years and we’ve gradually picked it up.” 🤦🏻‍♀️ WHAT TEACHER IS BETTER OFF THAN 10 yrs AGO?!!? #OkLegFAIL #OklaEd #OKwalk4kids

Hey Derby — is THIS what you call gradually picking us up the last 10 years??!?! 🤔 (Source: @OKPolicy) #OkLegFAIL #okwalkforkids #oklaed

Derby the sequel: “Oh, your local school districts squandered the money.” REALLY.
Just millions and millions lost at the District level. 🙄 yeah, right. I also like how he says “YOUR PROBLEMS.” Actually Representative, it’s YOUR problem. 😡#OkLegFAIL #oklaEd #OKwalk4kids

And of course, as franchises go on, they always get worse. Derby part III: Not enough money in ALL OF OKLAHOMA to fix education! 🙄 #OKwalk4kids #OklaEd #OkLeg

So I dunno guys.... who has an #OkLegFAIL to share from the #OKwalk4kids?? #OklaEd. Be sure to use the #OkLegFAIL hashtag so we can keep track!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Re: Sen. Wayne Shaw saying Westville wasn’t exactly the “brass ring” district of the state.. #OkLegFAIL #OKLAED #OKwalk4kids

Rep. Scott Fetgatter said of the THOUSANDS of teachers who descended on #OkLeg, “100% didn’t know who their reps were.” #OklaEd — is that true? I don’t think so. Reps I know said you’re extremely knowledgeable. #OKlegFAIL #okteacherwalkout #oklaedwalkout

New #OkLegFAIL!! Sen. Michael Bergstrom (who, oddly, covers the OTHER half of my hometown district w/ Sen. Wayne Shaw) tells teachers “SHAME ON YOU.”
No. Shame on YOU Bergstrom. My mom’s been a teacher for 48 years & doesn’t make $50k. #okteacherwalkout

#OkLegFAIL from Rep. Enns (who had to be fetched from by OHP from Enid last week to cast a vote. Yes, we spent $ making sure he CAME TO WORK)

Teachers are too “emotional,” “they started it” & 25% of them are paid actors from Chicago 🤦🏻‍♀️ #OKwalk4kids

Just realized my typo... but I think y’all know what I mean. 🤷🏻‍♀️
I got caught up in angry typing at the way teachers are being treated. 😬

Governor Fallin arrives in MCALESTER from OKC via AIRPLANE during #OklaEd budget crisis. We’re in 4 day school weeks & textbooks are being held together with duct tape & she FLIES A PLANE 100 miles for a meeting. 🤦🏻‍♀️ #OkLegFAIL #oklaedwalkout

Rep. Kevin Wallace says teachers don’t need more funding this year? Yeah, they’re all just chilling out there for nothing. Well Rep. Wallace... here’s your sign. #OkLegFAIL #OKLAED #oklaedwalkout

Now back to Rep. Enns (again, who had to be tracked down by OHP & brought to work last week). How would he react if he asked teachers about their budgets & they said “I have no idea. That’s what I’ve been told.” NOT ACCEPTABLE! #OkLegFAIL #okteacherwalkout
