" Just weeks after Oklahoma's governor called for a special audit of Tulsa Public Schools (TPS), the State Board of Education voted to downgrade the district's accreditation status for violating a law that restricts teachings on race and gender."

"In a 4-2 vote on Thursday, the board based its decision to downgrade to "accreditation with warning" in response to a complaint stating a mandatory training session for teachers violated state law (HB) 1775."
"A teacher filed the complaint with the state after she claimed training videos she was required to watch "...specifically shame white people for past offenses in history, and state that all are implicitly racially biased by nature."

" Oklahoma's HB 1775, which does not include the term "critical race theory," is intended to stop discrimination, according to the bill. If any educator teaches that "an individual, by virtue of his or her race or sex, bears responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex" or that "an individual, by virtue of his or her race or sex, is inherently racist, sexist or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously," they could be suspended or have their license removed, according to the law."

Tulsa has a troubled race relations history, but imputing the sins of the fathers to current white citizens seems to verge on the issue of corruption of blood.

This is how you fight CRT and it's associated crap. Downgrade or pull certifications of schools that waste time teaching this crap. We need more of this at least at the state level.

Probably not happening at the national level at least not under this admin.

According to people I used to work with who lived in Tulsa and one who had worked for TPS, they have been garbage for as long as anyone can remember so no surprise to see nothing has changed.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Tulsa and OKC schools are god awful, and shockingly are the most democrat heavy in the state. Both are surrounded by good suburban school districts.
