Oklahoma Superintendent Denies Racism Drove Tulsa Massacre Despite Overwhelming Evidence

Oklahoma's Superintendent of Public Instruction, Ryan Walters, denied that race was the main reason behind the Tulsa Race Massacre in 1921 during a public forum.
Attorney Damario Solomon-Simmons criticized Walters' comments, stating that the massacre was all about the skin color of the Black people who were targeted.
Walters implemented a ban on teaching critical race theory, despite previously teaching about the Civil Rights Movement and segregation in his history class.
Walters inaccurately described the famous "Dolls Test" study conducted by Dr. Kenneth Clark and his wife, attributing the results to racism.
There has been criticism and protests against Walters, with some calling him ignorant and incompetent.
