It is an issue when it is at work. It is an issue when the one with the nudity on their TV screen is so condemning of liberals and the left, and what he perceives is porn when in public.

The conservative evangelical churches I went to never accepted the nudity.
The intent of my post was to convey sarcasm.

As you can see so many people are posting whataboutsim!

There is a certain shock when you expect professional behavior at an Executive meeting at the State Board of Education, and the one is charge has what is being described as a video with nudity in it. That isn't appropriate


...people were defending (and in some instances) advocating for much more racy material to be stocked in Jr. High libraries just last year.

I saw both CNN and MSNBC were covering this story yesterday on TV with the captions like "Breaking" and "Developing Story".

They were the same ones pearl clutching about the fact that some red state schools were banning Flamer and Genderqueer from school libraries. Visual depictions of a naked woman are less provocative than some of the content contained in some of those books.

If this at happened in the private sector, you can bet HR would seeing the guilty party do the door.

Considering that: "It looked like it was made in the ‘60s, maybe.” and the man is 39, suggests it was probably a prank pulled by some else.

Even if he's into the "vintage stuff" and just forgot that it was on his screen, any progressive criticisms of this sort of thing are null and void.

A 39 year old looking at R-rated stuff from the 60's should be considered "pretty tame" by those who advocated for 15 year olds to be able to access X-rated anime.

Exactly. It's like are they really saying these things with a straight face?

It's highly doubtful the left would otherwise care about an adult having 1960s images of naked women.
I have 1960s images of naked women, but I would expect a pink slip if I showed them at work on work equipment.

So the interest in this is wanting to see him properly punished? To savor some yummy schadenfreude?

No, it's more about exposing the moral hypocrisy of leaders in the Republican Party.

They are upheld by many as paragons of Christian virtue, when we can see there are enough flies in that ointment for it to stink.

When a public schools Superintendent requires:

“Effective immediately, all Oklahoma schools are required to incorporate the Bible, which includes the Ten Commandments, as an instructional support into the curriculum” in grades 5 through 12, according to the notice from Republican school superintendent Ryan Walters.

“The Bible is one of the most historically significant books and a cornerstone of Western civilization, along with the Ten Commandments,” the notice reads.


One might reasonably assume the said superintendent adheres to the Bible....and conducts meetings in a mannter that reflect his "Christian" values.

What should have been a mundane Oklahoma State Board of Education executive session Thursday turned shocking after board members saw naked women appear on a TV screen behind Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction and board chair, in his office, according to The Oklahoman.​
The Independent has reached out to Walters for comment. A spokesperson for Walters branded the incident as a "junk tabloid lie” to the outlet.​
Now, the state’s Senate has launched a porn probe.....​
“This is a bizarre and troubling situation that raises serious questions about the events and what took place during yesterday’s executive session at the Oklahoma State Board of Education meeting,” Paxton told the outlet in a statement. “The accounts made public by board members paint a strange, unsettling scene that demands clarity and transparency.”....​
Becky Carson, a board member who attended the meeting, said she was "disturbed" by what she saw on TV.​
“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.’...I was so disturbed by it…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!’” she told The Oklahoman.

Walters then promptly shut it off, Carson told the outlet.​
I am glad they are starting a probe.
I like the bit where he demands Bibles while simultaneously watching lewd material at work in front of ladies.

Ryan Walters fires back:

“Any suggestion that a device of mine was used to stream inappropriate content on the television set is categorically false,” Walters—who ordered all public schools in his state to teach the Bible last year and who has labeled modern education “absurd“—posted on X Sunday.

“I have no knowledge of what was on the TV screen during the alleged incident, and there is absolutely no truth to any implication of wrongdoing.”

Resignation and tearful apology in 3… 2…

The problem with that is a lot of those "exposing the hypocrisy" are being hypocritical. That's why it falls flat.
They are upheld by many as paragons of Christian virtue, when we can see there are enough flies in that ointment for it to stink.
Like St. Paul the Chief of Sinners? Or King David as in Jesus the son of David? There's no Christian, no matter how righteous, who's incapable of sinning. This is something we all understand, but atheist fail to grasp. The only person who ever spoke out against sin, who was without sin, was Christ. Aside from that, the guy having a 60s nudie show suddenly pop up on a screen is extremely fishy. And that's probably what they're going with; it being a prank.

That’s old think. Deep state did it he’s above reproach.
No, not the deep state, just someone with access to the office who has an axe to grind because he banned the lewd books from school libraries that the left are vehemently defending and tying so hard to distribute to children. It's not even remotely far fetched that he was set up.

Per Snopes:

Though the video featured nudity, it did not involve sexual intercourse, according to the board members' accounts. Deatherage said he recalled seeing "multiple n*de women on the screen and some sort of 'chiropractic table,'"


Perhaps this is a case where someone simply searched for:

"The only Chiropractic-related video on the internet that has any redeeming qualities"

...and that's the only search result that came back.

That speaks to his fidelity to faith. We also question his fidelity to the Constitution, inasmuch as the state Supreme Court has stayed his Bible idea as unconstitutional.

Look, if I eat pork, I can still point to people who say they keep kosher using one side of their mouth while stuffing bacon in the other side, and say they're hypocritical. I'm not pointing at the pork-eating, I'm pointing at the hypocrisy.

It's pretty silly though coming from those who are mad at him for banning lewd books from school libraries. Not to mention that he was probably pranked.

LOL.

How many of "those" conduct meetings with naked women images?
