Description

Hanna Rosin sits down with Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters to ask him about a purity test for teachers and a nearly scandalous incident that happened days before the interview. And two Oklahoma high-school teachers take very different paths.

This is the second episode of a two-part series from Radio Atlantic. (This episode has been updated from a previously published version to include additional news.)
