If a Nazi kid is being bullied would it be woke to interfere?

"We're also going to be teaching the foundations of American history. … So we can continue to be the greatest country in the world."

Sounds good! So the history of European colonists stealing land from indigenous people because the colonialist wanted to escape state-sponsored religion back in Europe? How these colonists later used enslaved people from Africa and elsewhere? How less than 100 years after founding we had a Civil War because the south refused to acknowledge that a number of minority groups were actually equal humans to them?

"What is the past tense of 'wake?'"

English teacher sweating nervously

Oklahoma Superintendent for Public Instruction Ryan Walters has introduced a new test for teachers coming into his state from California and New York in a bid to keep out what he called "woke indoctrination."

As superintendent of education, Walters has pursued culture war causes. In selfie video-recordings and in other public statements, Walters has condemned what he calls "woke ideology"; accused teachers of attempting to indoctrinate Oklahoma schoolchildren; referred to the Oklahoma teachers' union as a "terrorist organization"; and claimed that the separation of church and state was a liberal "myth."[29]

In June 2024, Walters issued a memo announcing that all public schools in Oklahoma would be required to teach the Christian Bible, including the Ten Commandments, mandating "that every teacher, every classroom in the state will have a Bible in the classroom and will be teaching from the Bible in the classroom."[87][88] Walters' announcement followed the passage of a Louisiana law earlier in the month requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all Louisiana public school classrooms.[89] Walters said that teachers who failed to comply with the mandate could lose their jobs.[90][91] In his budget request for fiscal year 2026, Walters asked the Oklahoma Legislature to appropriate $3 million to purchase Christian Bibles for Oklahoma schools.[92] On October 17, 2024, a group of Oklahomans filed suit in the Oklahoma Supreme Court against Walters and other defendants, in an effort to block the teaching mandate and the $3 million expenditure.[93]

In September 2024, Walters opened bids to supply the Oklahoma Department of Education with 55,000 Christian Bibles. The bid documents required that "Bibles must be the King James Version; must contain the Old and New Testaments; must include copies of the Pledge of Allegiance, Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights; and must be bound in leather or leather-like material."[92] Only two versions fit all criteria: Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A. Bible" (endorsed by Donald Trump, who receives fees for copies sold), which sells for $60, and the "We The People Bible" (endorsed by Donald Trump Jr.), which sells for $90.[92] Free or far cheaper versions of the Christian Bible are readily accessible.[92][29]

Mmmhmm.

Do you believe in god? Yes. No. (We prefer you answer yes)

"We're also going to be teaching the foundations of American history. … So we can continue to be the greatest country in the world. We want our students to be patriots."

Foundations. We already do teach the foundations. You just don’t like that we expand upon the foundations with other events that happened in order to provide a chance for students to learn critical literacy.

Patriots. You want soldiers. Patriotism happens naturally when one loves their country, but they can also be critical which you don’t want because you want obedience and extreme patriotism, not a healthy patriotism.

Also, I saw 5 sample questions from this “test” in a different article and every answer was D. 🤣

Truly pathetic how these assholes try to rewrite history.

Stupid ass shit.

And the broke mind virus strikes again!
