Relocating from California to a more affordable red state is becoming increasingly more difficult. In Oklahoma, education officials are now requiring teachers from California to take an exam aimed at guarding against ‘radical leftist ideology.’

🔴 states are overrepresented in our political system & they are intentionally dumbing down their population to keep their power structures in tact while 🔵 states are underrepresented, more educated, & their tax dollars are a welfare system for 🔴 states (until BBB kicks in).

No one *wants to leave CA, but the affordability is the thing. The billionaires in CA need to help pay public school teachers more by allowing themselves be taxed at all and at a higher rate. No strings attached to the $ they provide.

I'd wager that not a single California educator has moved to Oklahoma to teach. This is a fucking stupid thing to even publish. Another newspaper destroyed by a dipshit billionaire and his boot licking Toadies

The framing of this- “Moving to California to Goddamn Oklahoma for less pay in a facist shithole just got harder.”

So the state is imposing its own radical right wing ideology on public school teachers and students via a test of political correctness. Sounds like Stalinism.

Just don't even consider TN as a choice. It's intentional this state scores at the bottom for YEARS in education, healthcare, and environmental protections. TN laws only protect corporations and the gov't itself, but not its citizens. You rarely hear of a citizen winning any lawsuit.
