Oklahoma still has schools?

Then kids go to college realize the lies of the adults around them. Blah blah blah lib college ruined my kids.
I used to hear that from my dad all the time.

hahaha so accurate. I was born without fingers and grew up as a Jehovah's Witness. They'd tell me I'd have fingers once the "new system" comes along with all this other made up garbage. Parent's divorced around age 13, mom got dis-fellowshipped and shunned. Once I was old enough to take Earth Science and learn about the universe and age of everything. Something finally clicked like, "oh they're all full of shit."
Never looked back. I guess the unfortunate side effect is, I don't believe in anything at all anymore.
-
That last side effect isn't unfortunate, welcome to atheism. That is, I still believe in things, I believe in science because it's right there, I still believe in some people because I see what they are capable of. I still believe, just not in fairytales
-
If you're ok with it, Could you elaborate on the "new system" they described was?

-
As long as religious schools exist, there will always be lies taught as fact.
-
How is that relevant to this article?
-
Because its the same shit.....

Just wanted to add the obligatory, "I'm ashamed I live here but not all of us are this stupid or blind" comment.
-
Just the majority though. Because if they aren’t thick as mince and they don’t vote against these people, they’re dumber than the first group of imbeciles are.
-
You...are not wrong. Oklahomans are a rare breed of stubborn which makes them, as you put it, thick as mince indeed.

Next up, calling slavery “jobs training” like Florida, then we can start just teaching blood libel after that.
-
it's ok none of those kids will be able to read.

Tiger King country

Reading is passé. It is all A1 now.

Do you mean it's alright, or Oklahoma?

In addition to the curriculum revisions, a proposed rule approved by the state board of education in January mandates that parents enrolling their children in the state’s public schools show proof of immigration status.
Describing the rule, which has been met with widespread outrage among parents, students and immigration advocates, Walters said: “Our rule around illegal immigration accounting is simply that … It is to account for how many students of illegal immigrants are in our schools.”
Right. There's no way ICE would get called or just have access to the database.
-
Among those Walters appointed to the review committee were Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation and a key figure in its Project 2025 blueprint for a conservative presidential administration, and Dennis Prager, a radio talkshow host who founded Prager U, a conservative non-profit that offers “pro-American” educational materials for children that some critics say are not accurate or objective.
No! 😮
-
Prager of Prager Not-a-University. On a committee that makes decision about actual school education. Goodness. But as things stand, it's just another brick in the wall. The USA is doomed to fail. It's just a question of When and How, not If.

The shithole country was inside the house all along....
