It is Oklahoma after all. Dumb is what they do.What a dumb decision on Oklahoma's part. It's none of the state's business what anyone's personal beliefs are unless it interferes with their job.
At an Oklahoma State Board of Education meeting last month, board members pushed Walters on the legal merits of the assessment, and asked to let the board review and approve it before its release. Walters declined.
Walters said he believes that he has legal authority to order and administer the test, but did not provide an explanation for the claim.
Asked by CNN who will oversee and make sure that the assessments are being taken and passed, he said bluntly: “It’s up to me.”
“Every teacher that teaches in the state of Oklahoma will have to have a certificate that goes through my office. It has my signature on it. So that those will not move forward until this is done,” Walters added.
North Carolina gave 48.82% to this manic for school super in ‘24.
Oklahoma is already short of teachers and at the bottom of the rankings. I wonder if porn during meetings is on the test. It's acceptable to Walters.
I think that's the intent here. To make sure their personal beliefs stay their personal beliefs. Part of Oklahoma's education issues are because Ok is a poor state and pays it's teacher lower than most.What a dumb decision on Oklahoma's part.

The job of teachers is to teach facts and encourage discussion about real facts.What a dumb decision on Oklahoma's part. It's none of the state's business what anyone's personal beliefs are unless it interferes with their job.
And that increasingly complicated world will be full of folks with opposing ideas, agendas, there will be trans and gays, progressives, leftists, DEI and all sorts of other things out there: those are real facts worthy of discussion.The job of teachers is to teach facts and encourage discussion about real facts.
Oklahoma is right to keep teachers out of the classroom who are Progressives, Leftists, DEI supporters, and anti-American.
They have the authority to test teachers to make sure their goals are not to spread Anti-American bullshit DEI ideology and CRT beliefs in the classroom.
Teachers must focus on making sure students can read, write, and comprehend subjects that prepare them to function in this increasingly complicated world.
Just like I work hard to understand all of the nuances of this crazy world, I want teachers to also be aware of what children need to learn.And that increasingly complicated world will be full of folks with opposing ideas, agendas, there will be trans and gays, progressives, leftists, DEI and all sorts of other things out there: those are real facts worthy of discussion.
But you want the kids to be totally unprepared for the world: you are building them up to lose.
You want to bring religion in as mandatory, you want to do away with any scientific knowledge that doesn't fit the MAGA worldview, you have areas in the US trying to pass laws to ban books out of schools that teach how to deal with puberty...you guys want your own indoctrination that will set America back and poorly prepare our kids for the future.
It's not at all telling that your "think for themselves" rests on excluding subjects from the curriculum.Just like I work hard to understand all of the nuances of this crazy world, I want teachers to also be aware of what children need to learn.
I went to Catholic schools for nine and years and avoid becoming a religious zealot. I learned to think for myself. Teachers must teach children to think for themselves.
And that mean teaching students how to write, read, and comprehend what they are reading.
