The head of Oklahoma’s schools was not amused by a video in which Deer Creek school district students were shown licking the toes of other people as part of a fundraiser on Thursday.

“This is disgusting. We are cleaning up this filth in Oklahoma schools. Our agency is investigating,” State Superintendent Ryan Walters posted on X.

“The video we’ve seen from Deer Creek is shocking and disgusting. OSDE [Oklahoma State Department of Education] is investigating this incident,” his office said in a statement to Newsweek.

The X account Libs of TikTok sounded off as well, posting that adults were the recipients of the licking during the fundraiser.

There was no official verification of that claim.

“UNBELIEVABLE. This happened at @DCAntlers. Students sucked on the toes of adults during a school fundraising event. Who approved this???” it posted.

According to KOKH-TV, the videoed activity was part of the school’s Wonderful Week of Fundraising to support Not Your Average Joe Coffee, which hires people with intellectual, developmental and physical disabilities.

One parent whose name was not given shared a reaction to learning from their daughter about the event, which the parent said involved peanut butter.

“Whenever she told me yesterday that was happening, I had to ask her, ‘Wait, what? They’re licking peanut butter off of toes? What?” the parent said, according to KOKH.

“I am all for fundraising and all for really fun and silly things, but that right there just seems a little excessive.”

“It was surprising,” said a student whose name was withheld. “I didn’t think they were going to do all that. I was just shocked. I didn’t really have like a feeling. I was kind of disgusted, and then kind of glad I wasn’t over there.”

The school district released a statement regarding the fundraiser.

“This afternoon, Deer Creek High School announced a grand total of $152,830.38 raised for Not Your Average Joe Coffee, an organization created to ‘inspire our community by including students and adults with intellectual, developmental and physical disabilities,’ according to their website,” the statement said.

“On Thursday, February 29, 2024, Deer Creek High School hosted an assembly called the Clash of Classes for students who paid to attend. During this assembly, ninth through twelfth grade students volunteered to participate in various student-organized class competitions, in the spirit of raising money for NYAJ.

“All participants in the assembly were students who signed up for the game(s) they played ahead of time. No Deer Creek faculty or staff participated in any of the games during this Clash of Classes assembly,” the school said.

But the parent was not buying it.

“It’s really great that they raised a lot of money,” the parent said, per KOKH. “I feel like maybe they could’ve done a little bit more accountability and ownership in that statement for, ‘Hey, you know, maybe we didn’t fully think this thing through here.”

A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them.

Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal.

And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people.

The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.

We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.

But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight.

The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help?

With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans.

We can do this only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.
