This means accreditation cannot be used as a reliable metric depending on the state.

And this is why Oklahoma is going to stay one of those shithole flyover states.

That dipshit Walters just resigned to become CEO of some far right nonprofit called Teacher Freedom Alliance. Good riddance. Only worry now that he's still in a position to do harm to our education but at least he's out of our fucking government.
