    Ryan Walters

    Office of the Secretary of Education

    State of Oklahoma

    Oklahoma State Board of Education:

    In light of recent events involving Norman High School English Teacher Summer Boismier, I am asking the Oklahoma State Board of Education to revoke her teaching certificate immediately.

    Upon review of the situation, the teacher resigned rather than face removal. There is no place for a teacher with a liberal political agenda in the classroom. Ms. Boismier’s providing access to banned and pornographic material to students is unacceptable and we must ensure she doesn’t go to another district and do the same thing. This action must be dealt with swiftly and with respect to all our kids and parents.

    Teachers are one of our state’s greatest assets and it is unfortunate that one of them has caused such harm and shame for the entire profession. This type of behavior will not be tolerated in Oklahoma and I speak for parents across the state who are demanding swift and immediate action.

    Kids first,

    Ry Walter

    Ryan Walters

    Oklahoma Secretary of Education

    I want to punch this guy in the face so much. Kids first…

    As if the internet was not full of porn and horrible stuff FREELY available to everyone who can click “I am 18”.

    But no, free acces to educational resources, that’s where the line should be drawn. God forbid kids get access to books for free.

    All I see is a pdo groomer, grooming children in a public education institution, one that is paid by tax payers. In a state that outlawed such material.

    Boismier’s long journey to Brooklyn started when Oklahoma passed HB 1775, known as the anti-Critical Race Theory law. The law punishes school districts for teaching lessons designed to make students feel uncomfortable or guilty because of their race or gender.

    Boismier was told to weed her classroom library — a library full of books she’d spent her own money to buy over the years. Instead, she draped red paper over them with the words, “Books the state doesn’t want you to read.” She gave students a QR code to the Brooklyn Public Library’s Books Unbanned project, which gives students anywhere in the country access to its books.

    Her teaching license should be revoked, at the very least in the state of Oklahoma.

        … I was almost a victim as a child. It was terrifying. And knowing that feeling of soon to being a victim is fked up for a child. More than likely the reason why I don’t trust a single human being, because their 2nd person, the person that the public doesn’t see, could be a fkin degenerate of the worst kind. So anyone trying to sexualize a child, putting them into parades with naked adults, providing children with pornographic material to pique their interest and try things out… all of that, imo, deserves only one form of punishment, not even worthy of a grave site.

          Cool story. So, which books were pornographic? Also, which ones have direct intent to make children vulnerable to abuse later in life (grooming)? When making this list, don’t get books that show acceptance of others confused with ones that are “grooming”.

          To anyone else that has it handy, I misplaced my MASSIVE list of actual groomers and pedos that this person may find interesting (it is pretty much all conservatives and religious leaders…there is a small scattering of other walks of life but they are collectively a huge minority).

            When you sexualize (groom) a child, you’re preparing them to be willful victims of pedophiles. This is what YOU support by making excuses for pornographic material to be pushed onto children.

          She covered her books and directed students to get a library card from a source that is aligned against the book ban. You said this makes her a pedophile groomer, implying she is trying to sexually assault the kids. How?

          Don’t be a coward, answer the question :)

            She should have taken her books back home with her. Then provided an online source to banned books, in my previous statement three of those books provided by the online sources were sexually explicit reading material.

            Disseminating indecent materials to minors is an act of pedophilia. You… know that right? Literally a federal crime.

              Three books out of thousands had sexually explicit content, but the reason these books are controversial because they have literary and educational value. There are many who want to maintain the intellectual freedom to engage with those ideas instead of banning them. For instance, Idaho’s recent book ban received overwhelming opposition from the public. Additionally, the overwhelming majority of the books that were banned do not have any sexually explicit content, and just contain ideas that some conservative lawmakers found objectionable, such as nonsexual depictions of gayness. The law was written with extremely vague definitions, likely to have this exact effect where huge amounts of information are removed.

              Are you saying that everyone who disagrees with these book bans are deliberately engaging in pedophilia and want to rape children? That is what “pdo groomer” means, which is what you said about the teacher. Please answer this question, you have been avoiding it. I really want to know if you actually think the teacher wants to rape the kids she works with. Is that what you think?

                If you commit acts of violence, does that not make you a violent person? She committed an act of pedophilia, on multiple children. That makes her a pedophile. Pedophiles are groomers and groomers are pedophiles.

              Pedophilia (alternatively spelled paedophilia) is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children.

            Pornographic material is for adults. Right? So how is it unacceptable to restrict CHILDREN access to pornographic material?

            Or is your moral compass backwards? Because if that’s the case, then so be it.

        The point is quite simple, an adult, a so-called educator, is directly providing children access to pornographic material. She’s a slithering pos trying to push her agenda even when she was told to re-evaluate the selection of books she bought, brought into the classroom and gave access to children to… by covering up the books with paper. THEN proceeds to provide a QR code to books that are banned for specific reasons, books that apparently are for an audience as young as 13 years old.

        If you can’t see the problem… that’s on you.

                  If you think that having an option to learn about life and know something about it before being exposed to the dangers going blind into an experience is bad and grooming, I have news for you. You have been groomed into being a breeder-only type of human being with all these anti sex-education (even optional for only those who seek it) showing it.

                  Go breed like rabbits and shut up about people learning how to safely engage in sex and how to turn it into an enjoyable experience rather than a sneaky risky fleeting act that can put on them lifelong unwanted responsibilities.

              All this proved is that you believe books on LGBTQ rights are pornography, somehow. Children of the age specified in this program (13+) are at the age where they will begin to question their sexuality, by denying them any outlet or healthy way to understand this concept is to essentially stunt their emotional development. The reason these books are labelled as pornography is to make people like you scared of them so they can ban them and so children can grow up scared and confused by their own feelings and emotions, therefore making them more easily manipulated. This is likely what has happened to you, you have been groomed to think this way.
