Except it's really just grandstanding over a non issue. They're pandering to their already dumb voters.

In Oklahoma the state standards mandate teaching that Trump actually won in 2020. Its a good thing they're fixing the real problems of reading and math and not indoctrinating children with political propaganda. Proof is in the pudding.

That's not true.

Quote:

The social studies standard for high school U.S. history references baseless claims about the ballot counting process and the security of mail voting.

It says students must "Identify discrepancies in 2020 elections results by looking at graphs and other information, including the sudden halting of ballot-counting in select cities and in key battleground states, the security risks of mail-in balloting, sudden batch dumps, an unforeseen record number of voters, and the unprecedented contradiction of 'bellwether county' trends."

Gee, this publication isn't biased at all.

I remember when "thank God for Mississippi" used to be a thing. MS is now ranked 16th in education despite one of the lowest levels of per pupil spending. A commitment to basics and ruthless execution rather than throwing up our hands or blaming liberals (Walters) seems to be a better solution. As for the porn debacle

You get better teachers by making them take some kind of oath that the government approves? You know who you aren't going to attract? Good teachers that want to teach instead of the government being up their ass all day.

Sounds like re-education. Amazing how the gospel of big government is embraced by the GOP flock as soon as they have the power to use it.

---

Well, Democrats have been using public schools and taxpayer money to indoctrinate students for decades. This is just a comparitively small effort to take back some lost ground and require that the truth about this country be taught instead of the anti-social, anti-American drivel that has been so prevalent. It shouldn't be some novel idea. I'm personally glad to see Republicans start using Democrat tactics against them instead of pretend fighting with one hand tied behind their backs.

---

In other words, you really have no moral problem with education systems bending the knee to authoritarianism, as long as it's YOUR autocrat that gets to set the rules.

The teachers are being required by Oklahoma to pass an assessment of basic knowledge and facts about this the United States before receiving a license to teach in their state. Sounds like a licensing exam to me, same as most states do for dozens of other professions. Oklahoma is well within their rights to require this before granting the license. Their state, their rules. If you are against licensing in general for all professions, then I understand your argument.

Man, this thread delivers. I didn't know how entertaining a bunch of triggered libs could be.

The natural state is that the more government gets involved the worse the outcome.

And the more dependent people become on government, the more divided they will become. That's the cost of big government no one talks about.

Just how many teachers from those states are relocating to Oklahoma in the first place? Sounds like a waste of time and energy. I figure Texas will follow right behind as soon as Trump or the billionaires that run Austin tell someone to.

That's impressive that MS is ranked so high now. Whatever they're doing, other states should look into following.

they are doing the 3r's and phonics. Also not passing kids through who don't meet the requirements for advancement - crazy stuff that us older folks were taught when we were coming up

New to the board?

This many Covid loving, freedom hating libs squealing on one thread tells you the arrow has met the bullseye.

This ranking is largely based on ACT scores. Oklahoma has 100% of students take the ACT with an average score of 18. New Hampshire has 5% of students take the ACT with an average score of 25. I think the flaw here is comparing 100% of OK students versus 5% of NH students.

Thanks for posting that.

I tried to explain that earlier, but it was lost in the political arguments about education not being political.

Then why is it just for teachers from certain states? It's simply grandstanding and will help reinforce what the world already knows.

Given how angry and salty our ResLibs are about this it wont be too hard to ask the right questions to sus out a lib

"What is a woman?"

"What age should a child be allowed to have gender mutilation surgery?"

"How effective are COVID masks and vaccines?"

"Is DEI important to you?"

Nobody is mad about this.
By the way I'm pretty liberal and bet I would answer the same as you on all the questions you mentioned. It's been pretty blow out of proportion how much we actually care about those issues. They've been used to colonize the far right. Guess what, we don't want boys in women's sports either.

No that would be Louisiana

I travel to Oklahoma for work all the time. Great people who always vote the right way. I just don't want them to win in Football.

Hate speech, the left just cancelled you. They just charge boys in their own locker room with sexual harassment for telling a girl that's been convinced she's a boy to leave because she was taking video. They charged the boys in their own locker room when a girl walked in a video tapped them. What the **** are you talking about? Not reality, maybe for you but not the left.

Administered by PragerU. That's got to make the left insane!

If you'd read the thread you'd already know the answer to this.

By pretty much every service that has ranked a state's public schools. In the ones that I looked through, I think the highest ranking I saw was 43rd. They should be emulating Mississippi, not coming up with stupid **** that doesn't matter.

They are trying to destroy a version of the country you like. As both sides get further and further away from compromise both sides think the other is intentionally trying to do harm. You may actually be right.

Take this move by Oklahoma, it will provide absolutely zero value since we know teachers are licensed and educated already, but it will piss off the left, which was the only actual goal. Talk about unproductive.
