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!

Those are just the statistics on emergency certified teachers, who must have a degree. There are adjunct positions where a high school diploma lets you teach high school.
I remember during a teacher meeting one of our e-certs telling us that one of his students had told him that she had been raped the night before. He had no idea that he was a mandatory reporter
As the younger generations shrink it will become harder and harder to economically support public education. I am pro public education. This is an issue we need to figure out.
Oklahoma does not allow abortion, except to save the life of the mother - definitely trying their best to stop any demographic decline. (This also does nothing to stop people from protesting at Planned Parenthood 🙄)
Sex Ed isn’t great either - the big focus is HIV/AIDs, which state statute lists something like “homosexual behavior” next to IV drug use as a risk factor.
Here’s the consequences.
