TULSA, Okla. (KTUL) — Some members of Gov. Kevin Stitt's own party say he was given too much power after several nominees to the Board of Education had zero education experience.

Many Republican lawmakers are upset and say this shouldn't be allowed.

To fix this, Representative Mark McBride, R-Moore, introduced a bill to expand the Board of Education to 11 members. In addition, the House and the Senate would choose the nominee as long as they're a former superintendent from rural Oklahoma.

McBride believes the recent nominees are "Yes Men" and "Yes Women" who won't push back on an agenda he says is misaligned.

"I've never heard anybody pushing these agendas that say Ryan Walter is. He's saying he's been in every county of the state and this is what he hears. Well, I've got family and friends in several counties of the state and I've never heard anybody aside from a small vocal few who want these things," he said.

McBride thinks the bill will pass the House but is unsure about its chances in the Senate.
