Walters to US House Committee: Chinese Govt Set Up in Tulsa Schools
Typical conservative Republican "argument": set up straw man, provide no evidence, claim to knock it down.
" (Ryan) Walters testified in front of the US House Education and Workforce Committee on potential Chinese influence in schools. “'The Chinese government actively set up in schools in higher ed and K-12 to spread communism and undermine the United States,' Walters said.
" Walters spoke specifically about Tulsa Public Schools, but did not provide proof during his testimony. “'That school district maintains an active connection with the CCP through a program called Confucius Classrooms,' Walters said."
...
“ 'Hopefully, we can take action as they’ve done in Oklahoma, and across the nation, of what they’ve done to counteract,' Representative Aaron Bean (R-FL) said.
" In a statement, Tulsa Public Schools said: 'Contrary to accusations, the district takes no funds from the Chinese government and has no Confucius Classroom programs in its schools.' "
You can almost hear the eyeroll in TPS's statement. But it's serious that this Okie nut is testifying before Congress.
