Mother 'embarrassed' daughter鈥檚 textbook once belonged to Blake Shelton
An Oklahoma mother and former teacher said that a book issued to her daughter once belonged to singer Blake Shelton.
Shelly Parker shared photos of the book on Facebook. She said her daughter was issued the book, and on the inside, they saw 鈥淭he Voice鈥� star had written his name in 鈥淟ook Away (Keys to Reading)鈥� in 1982.
Parker said her daughter was excited to have the book. But she said she was embarrassed it was old.
"Marley is EXCITED that her 'new' reader belonged to , but I am EMBARRASSED!!!! I鈥檓 40 and these people are my age!!! Thank you to every teacher/parent/support staffer/etc. for fighting for my kids education!!! Don鈥檛 give up until education is FULLY FUNDED," Parker said in the Facebook post.
Parker also thanked Oklahoma teachers, parents and support staff for their efforts to raise education funding.
Oklahoma teacher demonstrations for more classroom money have entered their second week. Leaders of Oklahoma鈥檚 largest teacher鈥檚 union said protests will continue until lawmakers and the governor act.
