Debra Herlihy for State Superintendent of Public Instruction

Student's Voice for Oklahoma


Fellow Oklahomans, 


Our education system is at a crossroads, and it is time for a new approach that prioritizes parents, student success, and teachers over broken bureaucracy. 


As your State Superintendent, I plan to rid our schools of communist fraud and ensure that administrators and teachers' unions are not turning our classrooms into different forms of anti-Americanism, anti-Christian bias, and indoctrination. By bringing different forms of political ideology to diverge from our Judeo-Christian views, it is time for Western civilization to stand up for Christianity. 


Oklahoma does not have a money problem; we have a spending problem, and we need to eliminate administrative bloat and communist teachers' unions. I will overhaul the antiquated A-F report card system to reflect true excellence and transform the OSDE into a supportive partner for local districts.


We need to stop the cycle of blaming schools and start empowering them. Together, we can make Oklahoma a top-ten state in education by focusing on what truly matters: supporting and fostering excellence in every child, and respecting our teachers and parents. Thank you.
