A video from the Oklahoma State Department of Education painting the state’s largest teacher union as a menace in public schools, mixed with resolute Fox News sound bites from the head of the state agency, has ratcheted up tensions and deepened frustrations among teachers.
The agency posted the video on its website homepage after first showing it during an Oklahoma State Board of Education meeting Thursday. The video was quickly removed, as officials said they planned to reupload it to the agency’s official YouTube page.
