It was a metaphor for the ways he’s fucked OK education and the students.

Ryan Walters Accidentally Screens Retro Nudie Flick for State School Board Members...
(thelostogle.com)
Hah, and when this source asked the guy's office about it the guy's spokesman went full DARVO:
Asked about the situation, Walters’ latest director of communications, Quinton Hitchcock, responded with a pointed statement Friday afternoon.
“What an absolute joke of a story and this is embarrassing from you to write a junk tabloid lie,” Hitchcock wrote in an email. “Any number of people have access to these offices, you have a hostile board who will say and do anything except tell the truth, and now, ‘NonsenseDoc’ is reporting on an alleged random TV cable image. Rock solid truth in journalism.”
So yeah, now I'm even more convinced the guy was caught red-handed....
Yup. Avoiding the question and topping it off with a personal attack is almost as good as an admission of guilt, IMHO. It’s a ridiculous, desperate tactic.
I feel like modern journalists really need to focus on the main logical fallacies and dissect these quotes pointing out how powerful they are at misinformation. People use fallacies offensively like this because it's effective.
Or, this spokesman is auditioning for a gig on Trump's PR team.
Walters was really gunning for Department of Ed. Not as rich as McMahon though…
Especially from the right
Walters’ latest director of communications
Sounds like he goes through a lot of them. I wonder why 🤔
Quinton Hitchcock
I'd make up a fake name if I was to represent him in public too. I wonder if "Quinton" also wears a mask.
Either way, he hitched his cock to the wrong wagon.
Weird that it's always they guys you suspect the most... Must be a conspiracy.
He forced a principal who did drag on the weekend to resign.
School districts across the state forced their teachers to remove their in classroom libraries, to avoid being accused of having porn.
He's an asshole and terrible and everything, but this caught my eye:
And I hate to even use these terms, but I said, ‘Those are her nipples.’ And then I was looking closer, and I got a full-body view, and I was like, ‘That is pubic hair.’
It's ridiculous that there are adults who are so prudish that the mere utterance of words like "nipple" and "pubic hair" cause them consternation.
Which is why it’s funny that he’s accusing them of having a political agenda. They are all arch conservatives!
~~How the fuck is this NotTheOnion‽‽‽~~
How the fuck isn't this The Onion‽‽‽
bear with me here...because it happened and its absurd enough to be an onion article
Let me rephrase that...
Aha, agreed
Carson said the images caught her eye during the meeting. “And I was like, ‘Those are naked women,’” she said. "And then I was like, ‘No, wait a minute. Those aren’t naked, surely those aren’t naked women. Something is playing a trick on my eye. Maybe they just have on tan bodysuits. … This is just really bizarre.’
“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? I didn’t watch a second longer. … I was so disturbed by it, I was like, ‘What is on your TV?’ I was very stern, like I’d been a mother or a classroom teacher. And I said, ‘What am I watching? Turn it off now!’”
"It looked like it was made in the ’60s, maybe," she said.
This is the guy who’s going to have teachers from out of state take a “morality test”.
We really need to get weird back in the rotation. Cause that's fucking weird.
Link to the flick? Some retro stuff is pretty good and this guy seems like a connoisseur.
In the article picture, it looks like Jane Birkin and Brigitte Bardot, who are not porn actresses, but french cinema always had a lot of nude scenes
Sauce?
