Badlahoma things. What to expect from a state that extolled the virtues of oil industry for primary school children but forbids teaching about climate change?

they should revoke the license of the board and ban them from getting anywhere within 500m of an educational institution
Within 500m of children.
I've given up on anything truly positive happening in this timeline. We live in a world where "evil" has long ago won, we're just continually acting surprised at finding out what we already know.
No hope. No future. Unless you're wealthy/powerful, welcome to the new gilded age where a human life is at its absolute lowest value in all of history.
We can fight as much as we want but we can never win.
Its not over yet. I was raised in one of these places. My schooling was a joke. Then I discovered the internet, and all that brainwashing they tried to do in primary school faded pretty quickly.
These kids aren't going to be that easy to lie to with the way the internet is. Some will fall for the propaganda but many will not.
Get back up.
I'm not a lawyer so could someone explain to me how laws like this don't immediately fail a prior restraint test?
Probably because they are an employee of the government, not a private publisher. (They're also not a publisher at all.)
Does posting to a blog count as publishing? I don't feel like old definitions of "private publisher" are as useful as they used to be. Public schools are such a quagmire of conflicting ideals on the best of days. Don't put up a flier for an unapproved study club, but CocaCola logos everywhere...
I think it does, but that's not what's at issue here. She put it up as a poster in her classroom.
I wonder if she coulda kept her job if (instead of a poster in the classroom) she waited just outside the school grounds to hand fliers out to kids like the evangelicals do. Or would they have said something about her "representing the school" outside of work? I guess I wouldn't be surprised either way.
Good maybe they can teach in a non third world shit hole state now
That's cute and all but there are still people there who don't actively believe in fascism, and don't have the money/resource to gtfo. Their kids deserve a real education too.
The real answer is making Nazis afraid again.
Yeah flippancy is kind of how I do humor but I totally agree
Walters said at Thursday’s meeting that Boismier violated rules that prohibit instruction on topics related to race and gender. He told reporters that she “broke the law.”
Oh? I didn't realize providing a link to an online resource was considered teaching or had anything to do with race or gender. 🤔
That's fine. Oklahoma totally does not have a shortage of teachers or anything. /s
It's so dystopian that teachers lose their jobs for encouraging children to read and that "free speech" advocates in state government are literally censoring books, the very thing that the first amendment is designed to stop governments doing.
More nazi shit. . .
I fuckin hate Oklahoma Nazis.
I don't discriminate, I hate all Nazis equally
i hate Nazis based off their proximity and power. a nazi may perhaps be allowed to live if they were stranded in the kuiper belt (maybe)
Hmmm, no. There are too many resources there.
Yes, but I hate some nazis more equally. Especially the once who effectively push their political agenda.

That book is banned, you can't read it
