For Walters and other conservatives, that’s a feature, not a bug. Uneducated kids are more likely to vote Republican – and they’re easier to enslave.

Let me get this straight. The people with the entire power of the state and the highest positions of government are just aw shucks everyday folks and individual underpaid teachers are “elites.” Got it.

I suppose there are opinions a teacher could express off hours that would question whether I would want them teaching kids or not (racism, sexism, creeping on minors, etc). But this feels pretty dystopian.

If the MAGAts take power, have no doubt that tinpot fascists at the state and local level will be engaging in witch hunts of political opponents and “elites” (i.e. educated, open-minded people) while Biff and his toadies are purging federal employees per Project 2025.
Vote. For Harris.

They aren’t very bright, are they? You’d think the last thing they’d want was to give “leftist elites” an excuse to dedicate class time to pointing out all the logical inconsistencies in the Bible.
(Or even just, you know, highlight some of Jesus’ more progressive / “radical” ideals.)

Those are two different things, but I’m not going to trust Libs of TikTok to tell me which is which.

Ah, yes. The woke elitism of Oklahoma public school educators.

nicely checks boxes 3 and 4 of Eco’s fascism checklist. Between this assbag and Missouri’s AG (Andrew blasted heath Bailey) gagging for a spot in Trumps DOJ, we are in “all out of bubblegum” territory here. I know with a high degree of certainty who needs to be “hunted down” and it sure as fuck isn’t a public ed employee having a well-deserved, top line CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED laugh over a dumbass diaper shitting conman who fuck fumbled his way into the most powerful seat in a nation full of morons who should damn well know better. These tough nuts want to get down, let’s get down. Time to get wet choke boys, lets go ahead and live in the world you are trying to create. We see you and we’re actually keeping score in this game you pretend at playing

That “lonely warrior against CRT” Tom Horne was tough to beat, as well as Arizona’s 49th place in K-12 funding, but you did it, Oklahoma. I tip my hat to you.
(I couldn’t handle more than quickly scanning this steaming pile of bullshit)

“hunt down school employees who joked about Trump’s ear getting nicked so that they can be fired.”
The State Superintendent of Public Instruction needs some instruction about commas.
They joked about it so that they could get fired?
Well, that’s how that sentence parses to me.
I will always remember where I was on the day Trump’s ear was assassinated.
(ETA and like Christ, on the third day was magically whole and alive again.)

With enough effort surely they can make that safety rating match the quality rating! Perhaps they can even dream to one day be #51 in quality!

Last in the country in education?
That sounds like a shit hole state.

It wouldn’t be the first time that the fate of an ear became a cause célèbre.
