Oklahoma’s students will now be taught that the 2020 election was stolen, and that COVID-19 was created in a Chinese lab.
Oklahoma’s Senate refused to even vote on this.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The largest district in the state is a virtual charter school. “Attendance” is a five question quiz at most - they’ll drop you if you don’t “attend” for 14 days straight. So most families game the system - have the kid check in every 5 days or so. There’s a “learning fund” - where parents get around $1000 to shop around on Amazon for “school supplies” - strange how difficult it is to find all of the articles about people using it during the pandemic to buy Christmas trees and television.
Epic has teachers teach all subjects and grades - your child’s high school geometry class will be taught by someone who probably can’t add fractions. The grading workload is impossible, because you are grading across all subjects and grades. Read a paper about the Civil War, look through some material on art history - the reality is that kids are just submitting AI garbage which is never read by anyone.
There is a huge literacy and numeracy crisis in Oklahoma. It’s disgusting.
