MAGA schools boss says naked women spotted by colleagues on his work TV were from Jackie Chan movie
Oklahoma 's top education official is under investigation after a TV in his office showed nude women during a closed-door meeting, a claim now allegedly backed by the state's House Speaker and Samsung TV logs. State Superintendent Ryan Walters, the hardline MAGA schools chief who mandated Bible study in public classrooms, is accused of having inappropriate material play on his office television during a July 24 board meeting. The movie in question, The Protector (1985) starring Jackie Chan, features scenes of naked women in lab coats packaging cocaine in a drug factory. House Speaker Kyle Hilbert says it aired on Samsung TV Plus Channel 1204 at the exact time of the executive session. Board members Becky Carson and Ryan Deatherage say they saw the footage, describing it as 'fully nude women doing something involving a chiropractic table.' Carson says she confronted Walters, who turned off the screen. She later filed a complaint asking the Oklahoma Office of Management & Enterprise Services to investigate Walters' computers, personal devices and cell phones, prompting a formal probe on July 28. While Walters publicly claimed the TV had only been on cable news, he privately told Hilbert he believed the footage showed 'a doctor and a nurse in a white lab coat' when he turned to shut it off. He did not mention that detail in his public statements or at a July 29 press conference. Hilbert says Walters welcomed an investigation and that he contacted Samsung himself. The company confirmed that during the meeting, The Protector aired on Movie Hub Action, followed by The Foreigner (2017). IMDb notes The Protector contains multiple scenes of nudity. News 4 reporters reviewed the film and confirmed scenes matching the board members' accounts, including fully nude women in lab coats inside a drug lab. Carson and Deatherage said they are both disturbed and relieved by the findings, which they believe confirm what they witnessed. Walters has not addressed the movie revelation publicly. The investigation is ongoing. In a joint statement to News 4, Carson and Deatherage said: 'We are grateful for the Speaker's efforts to vindicate the board. What we saw on TV is content that would get the certificate of any teacher in this state revoked had it showed up on a classroom TV. Now we have to ask the question: Why did Superintendent Walters lie about the TV being connected to the internet and what he saw on the TV that day? He repeatedly called the board members liars and attempted to destroy our reputation. We are deeply disturbed by the events of the last week and a half, but we will continue to work for the students of Oklahoma.' Walters has not responded beyond the July 29 press conference, where he claimed he had been cleared of wrongdoing, blamed cable news for the footage and accused board members of lying. The allegations are explosive given Walters' political image. Since being elected in 2022, the former teacher and father of four has led a conservative overhaul of Oklahoma's education system, targeting what he calls 'radical leftist indoctrination' in public schools. His most controversial move has been mandating that all classrooms display the 'God Bless the USA Bible,' a Bible endorsed by Donald Trump and country star Lee Greenwood that includes the Constitution and the Pledge of Allegiance. Disclosure reports show Trump earned $300,000 in royalties from its sales. The Oklahoma Supreme Court blocked the plan, but Walters filed a motion this week to reinstate it. Now, his credibility is being tested under a completely different lens. 'These falsehoods are the desperate tactics of a broken establishment afraid of real change,' Walters said. 'They aren't just attacking me - they're attacking the values of the Oklahomans who elected me to challenge the status quo. 'I will not be distracted. My focus remains on making Oklahoma the best state in the nation, in every category,' he went on. But for board member Becky Carson, who watched the alleged images appear on the screen, the moment was unforgettable. 'I was like, 'Those are naked women,' and then I was like, 'No, wait a minute… this is just really bizarre,' she said, initially wondering if the women were wearing tan bodysuits. She added that Walters never addressed what happened. 'There has to be accountability.' Walters' tenure has been marked by sharp rhetoric, high-profile battles with LGBTQ+ advocates, and controversial remarks about educators, whom he has previously labeled as 'perverts' when criticizing gender-inclusive curricula.

Supt. Walters unapologetic in latest statement regarding 'nude women' allegations
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (KFOR) – Superintendent Ryan Walters released a statement days after school board members reported nude women on a TV in his office during Thursday's closed-door meeting. The reporting came first from The Oklahoman and Non-Doc after they had spoken with the two board members, who recalled the events. Investigation inquiry underway after bombshell reports say board members saw naked women on Ryan Walters' office TV during meeting > 'I was like, 'No, wait a minute. Those aren't naked, surely those aren't naked women,'' OSBE member Becky Carson told The Oklahoman. 'I saw them just walking across the screen, and I'm like, 'No.' I'm sorry I even have to use this language, but I'm like, 'Those are her nipples.' And then I'm like, 'That's pubic hair.' What in the world am I watching?' On Saturday, News 4 spoke to another board member, Chris Van Denhende, who was in the room. He said he didn't see exactly what was on the TV, but could tell by everyone's reactions that it was something that shouldn't have been on the TV. Van Denhende then hinted at the possibility of an impeachment as he said Supt. Walters continues to be unprofessional. Supt. Walter's statement read, 'As I lead the charge for a bold overhaul of education in Oklahoma, putting parents back in control, rejecting radical agendas, and demanding excellence: it's no surprise to face politically motivated attacks. Any suggestion that a device of mine was used to stream inappropriate content on the television set is categorically false. I have no knowledge of what was on the TV screen during the alleged incident, and there is absolutely no truth to any implication of wrongdoing. These falsehoods are the desperate tactics of a broken establishment afraid of real change. They aren't just attacking me, they're attacking the values of the Oklahomans who elected me to challenge the status quo. I will not be distracted. My focus remains on making Oklahoma the best state in the nation, in every category.' Carson told the Oklahoman in their reporting that Walters was not apologetic Thursday either, that he just continued with the meeting as if nothing had happened. Third board member speaks out after allegations of naked women on TV in Supt. Walters' office > Soon after their reporting, House Speaker Kyle Hilbert released a statement that said Supt. Walters should relinquish his devices, and a third-party investigation should commence. Van Denhende told News 4 on Saturday that he believes the two board members, and said he felt they wouldn't make something like this up. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Now SNP-led council staff try to watch Netflix and porn while using work computers
An SNP-led council has become embroiled in the Netflix and porn scandal, as The Mail can reveal that workers tried to access inappropriate sites using their taxpayer-funded devices. Staff at Glasgow City Council, some of whom continue to work from home for at least some of the week, have attempted to stream their favourite TV shows on Netflix on 63 occasions in the past year. Workers also tried to click through to the X-rated Pornhub website 17 times, with the same number of attempts made to get onto gambling websites. Although most of the attempts were blocked by the council's in-built safety firewall, five click-throughs to betting sites were successful. A spokesman for the local authority said that some staff may have been working on a gambling harms project at the time of the successful web entries. However, the shock figures come as a number of public sector staff continue to work from home some days of the week, with one local authority admitting that some are logging on from the United Arab Emirates, Bulgaria and Germany. It also follows revelations in The Mail last week that Scottish Government civil servants had also been accessing inappropriate material at work. Scottish Conservative Glasgow MSP Annie Wells said: 'Glaswegians who have been hit with huge hikes in their council tax will be appalled that council employees have been trying to access dodgy websites and Netflix on their time. 'We know that this behaviour has occurred within the SNP government, and this culture is clearly prevalent within SNP-run Glasgow City Council too. 'Hard-pressed taxpayers expect employees to be focused on fixing the city's pothole-ridden roads, emptying bins, and supporting our schools. 'Instead, there have been multiple occasions of them trying to view dodgy content, place a bet or watch their favourite new shows. 'This might only be a select number of staff who thought this was appropriate, but SNP bosses at the City Chambers must guarantee all staff will be working on what matters to Glasgow at all times.' Figures obtained under freedom of information laws show that there were 63 attempts to access Netflix on Glasgow City Council devices between May 14, 2024, and May 13 this year. Every attempt was blocked by a firewall, the council insists. In the past year, there were also 17 attempts to access pornography on Glasgow City Council devices, but every attempt was again blocked by firewalls. Over the same period there were 17 attempts to access gambling websites, with five of those being successful. The statistics, obtained by the Scottish Conservatives, follow a public backlash over the number of civil servants and local authority staff still working from home, despite the Covid pandemic ending in 2022. Some workers only need to attend their office one day a week while council staff have been allowed to work from far-flung locations including Japan, India and Australia. A spokesman for the council said: 'The council has clear policies on acceptable use of IT equipment and access to some sites and services are restricted or blocked. 'The council has thousands of staff that use a PC, phone or other internet-enabled device and these figures reflect a very small number of incidents.'
