'That's propaganda': Parents fight back against new religious MAGA curriculum in OK schools​

OKLAHOMA CITY — Frustrated with religious content and polarizing language added to Oklahoma academic standards, some parents say they plan to opt their children out of “ideologically charged” social studies lessons in public schools.

Families and liberal advocates across the state, relying on parental rights laws that Republicans championed, are drafting letters to exempt their children from new social studies content that conservative leaders enacted this year.

Parents in the State of Corrupt-a-homa are fighting back against the lying MAGA morons.

Of course, this only helps those who want to destroy the "public" in public education.

Because there is no more "public education." It's no longer "universal" if parents individually ultimately control what their children are taught - it's just the individualized preferences and opt-outs/opt-ins of parents at work in the class room.

Put yourself in the shoes of your average teacher.....Johnny Jones and Jane Jezebel opt-out of x, y, and z while in the same class Ian Igloo and Irene Iwanna opt of a, b, and c.

Now you Mr. or Ms. Average teacher have to come up with tests that ONLY assess the areas each student was taught -- I mean, if I can't teach a, b, c, x, y, or z to certain students, I can't fairly test EACH student on all of those subject areas - areas I didn't teach them. And I can't used standardized tests for assessment (unless the standardized tests exclude a, b, c, x, y, and z).

So, now, how do you assess the effectiveness of teachers if there isn't a universal assessment for what the children learned over the course of a semester or a school year?
 
What a canard. It isn't religion being forced down the kids throats. It is CHRISTIANITY. Otherwise they would include Islam, Judaism, Hindu, Buddha, and Satanism. Fair is fair.

We need to make sure that this type of idiocy is prevented in all 50 states.

What do you know? A little bit of sanity does still exist in OK.

OK, ranks 48 of the 50 states in education. It is ridiculous for a state with one of the worst education systems in the country to focus on putting religion in ther public schools. Why not focus on a STEM curriculum.

Simple ignorance.

The government in that State is nothing buck backwards zealots. None of whom are worthy to govern.

Gee, here I was thinking the left was ruining American schools. This doesn't sound very leftist.

Add atheism to that list. That needs to be taught as well. It is appropriate.

What's the problem?

Those liberal parents don't like their children being indoctrinated? Now they know how conservative parents have been feeling for decades. At least those liberal parents have an alternative. The conservative parents haven't had that...ever.

WOW, you are now imitating our other resident Rightie who ALWAYS turns every thread into a whataboutism? YOUR schtick is to always defend the indefensible and then tell us we are dismissed. Stick with that, it has worked for you so far. Whataboutism is just SO lame:

Whataboutism is an argumentative tactic where a person or group responds to an accusation or difficult question by deflection. Instead of addressing the point made, they counter it with “but what about X?”.

The conservative parents haven't had that...ever.
Say what? Private, non-public schools. Religious schools. Charter schools. Home schooling. SO many choices. Poor conservative parents, so hard done by, because they NEVER had choices.

Class over, you are dismissed ;)

Great. So libs in OK who dont like the direction their public schools are taking can avail themselves of the same options. So whats the problem?

The State is teaching a debunked lie.

That is the problem.

Did you understand what I was responding to, or did you just guess at what I was talking about and decided you needed to do another comment about the "libs" as if that is never something you normally do?

yawn...

It's not "whataboutism". It's "now the shoe is on the other foot".

Thanks. You just made the case for the solution for these pissing and moaning liberal parents.

Yes I did make the case, since it wasn't a pissing or moaning liberal who was whining..............

Sounds like pissing and moaning to me. Doesn't it to you?

:unsure:

I read your post and responded to it properly. Im guessing you just have nothing to add or cant generate a coherent reply.

As has been pointed out, conservative parents have sought out alternatives to public schools and their leftist indoctrination for years. Liberal parents will now have to do the same thing. What of it?

What you really mean is that conservatives have been trying to force their religious bullshit into schools and have not been successful.

Corrupt-o-homa is mandating that the students be taught debunked lies. This is unacceptable.

The people of Oklahoma get to make that call, not you

No, a backwards moron named Walters made that call.

The election was not stolen. This has been REPEATEDLY proven.

Now Corrupt-o-homa is teaching children that the election was stolen even though the evidence says it was not.

They are teaching lies.

Your religious bullshit has no place in schools.

Accept it and move on.
