Schools in Oklahoma are being warned they risk “violating the law” if they don’t establish a Turning Point USA chapter on campus​


Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters unveiled the proposal on Tuesday and warned schools would be punished if they refused to take part.

Let me repeat...the gop does not govern, they rule and this is just one more example. Sad, no?

Rumor is that Ryan Walters is going to resign by the end of the week.

This is very freshly developing local news. Ryan Walters will be reportedly announcing on FOXNews tonight his new job with "Freedom Foundation" according to a local journalist.

Agree.

And: I have absolutely no idea why any one of them would want to live in a backward red state shithole like Oklahoma.

Because it can be very lucrative to live here and it is not quite the shithole that you are expecting it to be.

FWIW I do not have kids, that would likely change the equation.

People like you said the same thing when they went to desegregate schools.

Walter's needs to go. My sister is a teacher here. This is what she had to say when I sent her a text about Walters resigning.
"Please!!!! Where'd you see that?"

She is a big trump supporter. I like a lot of his policy. I think his methods are horrible.

It is a great place to live. Does it have it's faults? Sure, just like every community has different faults.

Yes. Forcing schools to have political organizations only of a certain lean is the exact same thing as desegregation.

Right this is forcing the other lean in. You're angry because your viewpoint isn't the only one allowed at school anymore if that's a good thing you are exactly like the people fussing about desegregation that's what's happening here it's just desegregation of ideas.
 
"In 2019, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) called TPUSA an alt-lite organization. Both the ADL and the Southern Poverty Law Center have criticized TPUSA for affiliating with activists from the alt-right and the far-right.The ADL has also reported that the group's leadership and activists "have made multiple racist or bigoted comments" and have links to extremism. In 2018, the Southern Poverty Law Center's Hatewatch documented TPUSA's links to white supremacists."

Yes, that's what I want in my child's school- some good ol' fashioned traditional American values and Christian love.

So white supremacists are feeling like their voices have been stifled all these years, and now they want to force it in? On my- the poor dears.

That's what happens when history repeats itself. Being upset because there's a diversity of ideas and public school is being the same thing as pro segregation it's literally a synonym it's just based on viewpoint rather than race.

No you've had the run of the schools teaching kids that black people are inferior and need something like affirmative action to succeed in anything it's time to put an end to that. I'm the best way to do that is offer a different viewpoint.

You are terrified of it because it threatens your white supremacy.

They just want to challenge it. It will be forced out once everyone realizes how stupid it is and that's what you're afraid of.

What policy, specifically? So many say the same thing and I don't understand why? He promised to bring prices down on day one, they are going up. He said he would end the war with Russia and Ukraine, still fighting. Gas will be cut in half to a buck fifty a gallon, still waiting. So tell us what policies are you happy about? Deportations?

As someone else stated, fiftieth in the nation in education. Desegregation is not repeating itself. Only stupidity.
