Former Norman High School teacher’s certificate revoked after two years of turmoil, Walters says

OKLAHOMA CITY — Two years after promising to ban a former Norman High School educator from ever teaching in Oklahoma again, state Superintendent Ryan Walters said that teacher’s certification is now revoked.

The teacher, Summer Boismier, drew national attention in August 2022 for posting a QR code in her classroom that linked to a library catalog containing banned books.

The Oklahoma State Board of Education voted on Thursday to approve a new order in the state’s revocation case against Boismier. Walters said the new order, which he hasn’t publicly released, formally revoked her teaching certificate.

Walters claimed Boismier violated House Bill 1775, which bans the teaching of certain race and gender-related concepts, and said she is too liberal to teach in Oklahoma. … “She broke the law, you know,” Walters said after the state board meeting. “And I said from the beginning, when you have a teacher that breaks the law, says she broke the law, says she’ll continue to break the law.”
