A woman in Oklahoma clearly had enough of Ryan Walters , the states far-right school superintendent, as he went off on an extended tangent against trans rights.

Walters tried to get in all the right-wing trigger words as he slammed a radical, woke, activist judge who he said is pressuring school districts to change birth certificates of trans students to match their gender identity.

The states board of education later voted to block districts from changing students gender on school records without permission from the board, KOCO News reported .

The full video was posted on Facebook by KWTV, the CBS affiliate in Oklahoma City.

The woman eventually spoke out during public comments, calling on the board to give teachers the support and resources needed to educate students.

Walters made headlines last year for claiming falsely that there was a legitimate faculty meeting where administrators had to decide if they should provide kitty litter to students who identify as cats, a popular urban myth in conservative circles.
