Oklahoma’s education board has revoked the license of a former teacher who drew national attention during surging book-ban efforts across the U.S. in 2022 when she covered part of her classroom bookshelf in red tape with the words “Books the state didn’t want you to read.”
The decision Thursday went against a judge who had advised the Oklahoma Board of Education not to revoke the license of Summer Boismier, who had also put in her high school classroom a QR code of the Brooklyn Public Library’s catalogue of banned books.
An attorney for Boismier, who now works at the Brooklyn Public Library in New York City, told reporters after the board meeting that they would seek to overturn the decision.

I’m wondering what percentage of high education labor is military veterans who utilized their GI bill to get a better education, Tinker AFB ain’t small. Huge military populations for Texas too, and there’s a history of dumping retirees out the gate and saying “good luck!”.
Oklahoma University and OSU both have big out of state populations, too.
