Republican Oklahoma schools chief to roll out anti-'woke' test for teachers coming in from blue states
The GOP has been trying to destroy public education for almost fifty years. Their policies only benefit a tiny segment of the population (the very wealthy) while seriously hurting everyone else. They could never hold power if voters were well educated, particularly in critical thinking skills.
These apparently stupid side shows may look ridiculous, and they are, but every one of them damages the educational system. That is the point.
I hope this asshole falls down 27 flights of stairs.
Let's make it 28 just to be safe.
There are ZERO teachers coming from out of state. Certified teachers that live here are quitting and doing anything else. There's emergency certifications for regular people to teach, if they don't mind being paid 20k a year.
They want us stupid so they can take every dime we have. In the 90s we had some of the top schools in the nation!
This is why we're moving out of Oklahoma. It's circling the drain, and too many people are cheering for the ride down to ever expect it to improve.
If you had the top schools in the nation in the 90s, what happened to the students of those schools afterwards?
Well that's me and my generation. Many of my friends left for other states, and I'm only waiting till my kid is old enough to move up to high school to move. I only have one friend left that has a kid and didn't move out of state. Everyone else is long gone.
There were a lot of Republicans listening to Rush Limbaugh and reaching their kids back then, so I'm sure those are the ones cheering our drain-circling now.
You’re lucky to have any teachers at all with what you pay and the shit they have to put up with.
They just want babysitters for the plebs in OK schools. There is not even a thinly veiled attempt at education in that state anymore.
They're already ranked 50th in the nation, is he shooting for 51st?
“Can you spell the word ‘science’?”
“Yes”.
“NEXT!”
very weird. its like these people dont have real problems to handle
Lol coming in from blue states
Well there's always a couple women who won't divorce their conservative husbands.
people are coming from blue to red to teach?
I feel sorry for anyone desperate or foolish enough to make that move.
Teachers, don’t go to red shit holes.
Defederation coming in 3... 2...
And I'm talking about USA here, not lemmy instances, lol.
Republican States holding TEST to make sure TEACHERS Only Fit "Their" Ideals is how we Know DEMOCRATS are INDOCTRINATING YOUR KIDS! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
The daily winner of the stupidest fucking thing I read today award. Very steep competition for this prestigious award.
You're goddamn right!
The US is at the point of history where they are basically working as the opposite of a country ... everything they do doesn't benefit most people in their country ... and everything they do outside the country is to try to prevent anyone from working as a functioning country.

Yes, Woke needs to be abolished. It is an ideology that digs at the bottom of the barrel with no reason. Replace Woke with Greek philosophy, Christianity, Confucianism, and Buddhism as to put them into context. They are much better. The fetishization of weakness, or the infatuation with weakness, is not healthy for society. We need smart people, not mindless robots who live in a fantasy world.
Define woke. If it should be abolished it must be specified what needs to be abolished.
woke needs to be abolished
\ suggests replacements
\ replacements are considered 'woke'
\ gru meme
The second anyone suggests any religion that isn’t about some dude who got slung up on the cross as a form of human sacrifice they’ll chimp out.
Fetishize weakness? Then why did you mention two religions that are heavily associated with peace, tranquility, and humility? Also, real funny hearing some jack ass such as yourself complain about people living in a “fantasy world” when your school curriculum consists of religions.
You’re a genuine walking contradiction.
Christianity is a religion, Woke is a religion as well, but they don't seem to know it. The difference is Woke has no reasoning while Christianity does. Woke is basically religion taken out of context and degenerated into emotional diatribe. At its extreme, you get things like communism, and we all know how that turned out. Learning about different religions and philosophies puts things in context, and an enhanced perspective.
