so twisted …
so twisted …
this is very bad
How many Two Minutes Hate assemblies will they be required to attend each semester?
Ow. I can't "heart" this at all, but letting you know you nailed it. Ow. 🤢🤮🤬
It strikes me that “examining discrepancies” means that they have to exist in order to be examined. That’s a potential way out/around for responsible, truth-oriented teacher. Obviously depends upon amount it teacher, school, district autonomy or lack thereof, but a tiny bit of hope (such idiocy).
📌
We found that government indoctrination MAGAts are so concerned about.
How fascist of Oklahoma Education Commissar Ryan Walters.
All reasonable parents should pull their children out of school in Oklahoma before their brains are damaged forever.
Easier said than done.
Also, hell would have to freeze over before I allow any child in my sphere of influence be exposed to such dangerous garbage. I teach children to look for truth. Trump’s big lie certainly isn’t it.
I do what I can to dispel the bullshit at home. It's a daily battle and my kids are weary.
I’m sorry. It’s so hard.
I know it’s not easy. But if we want to save Oklahoma’s children from fascist lies, something needs to be done. This is straight out of playbook used by Hitler’s Germany and now Putin’s Russia.
I replied to someone else that I'll happily make a Venmo account so people can pay my and my kids' moving expenses. Are you willing to contribute $5000?
How many universities outside of Oklahoma will accept HS grads from this state? JFC.
Standards will be lowered since they'll be desperate for students after we've made it so hostile for foreign students to attend school here.
The last firewall against this was the Republican-dominated state house of representatives, who, on Tuesday, refused to stop Ryan Walters from ruining the educations of my and the other hundreds of thousands of Oklahoma public school students. Y'all in the rest of the US need to pay attention
Ryan Walters shoved his face far into the taint of Donald Trump in the hopes of being chosen as Education Secretary. Donald picked the wrestling lady, but Walters is still using our kids as a stepping stone to higher office. It's disgusting and our kids don't deserve this.
Blind people are people too. bsky.app/profile/scob...
The Nordic countries teach kids how to identify misinformation. Apparently, we want to teach the misinformation as truth.
A new generational long Reconstruction will absolutely be necessary after the smoke has cleared and these fucks have been removed from power… a new generation will need to learn why the Tolerance Paradox is a thing
This is beyond horrific. As a former history teacher, if I’d been handed that standard, I’d have thrown a complete fit and maybe gotten fired or quit. I always encouraged my students to think for themselves and seek truth.
They were always worried about children being indoctrinated in school. Now they've got it.
This is truly unhinged, North Korean-style nonsense
Bunch of strange ideological purists found your skeet. Condolences.
i mean it's not like they're required to say a creepy pledge or square dance or anything
It's America, fool. We own this.
no, they did it very differently
You think they teach that Trump won the election in North Korean schools?
This is 100% American.
every time
it's frankly disgusting to be so eager to troll as to directly assume that the people of north korea are responsible for their government
*Someone compares unusually authoritarian actions to an infamously authoritarian state* "What are you, racist against Asian people?" I'll take it back if someone says this about Japan, or Vietnam, or Laos, or any of the other Asian countries that haven't been dictatorships for half a century
This is America actually
Yeah that's why the suffix "-style" was used
"-style" lmaoooo
It’s a thoroughly American impulse. It’s America-style authoritarianism and pretending otherwise seeks to absolve us of blame
You’re a dumbass. Truly, a massive dumbass
Dipshit opinions like this are why the GOP wins. Power is always authoritarian, no "but aktchually" sniveling needed.
This is such an irritating habit
Do you consider it absolving Trump of blame if we compare him to Mussolini? I'm very comfortable saying there are "Fascist Italian-style" elements of his rule.
To a degree, yes. With limited time, thus limited words, what is properly conveyed with the comparison? Unquestionably fascist. But then if that's true, why do we supposedly non-fascists keep inviting fascists over for BBQs? We keep asking the wrong people, Trumpers where the bottom is.
Where is ours? We coddle, forgive in advance, and invite Trumper friends & family over for the usual social functions. This is permission. We've been normalizing depravity all along. While some have bravely disassociated, and instead properly kicked them to the curb.
It's bold face of American exceptionalism. Get off it, jr.
People compare evil regimes to each other all the time! The term "Israeli apartheid" is a direct (and very accurate) comparison of white-ruled South Africa with contemporary Israel.
Except it's remarkably racist to go "wow we're being so fucking Asian right now" whenever we do something that is dyed-in-the-wool American fascism. You're being racist by doing the comparison, even if you append "style" to it. It's not North Korea style. It's American style. We're in America.
No one said "were so fucking Asian." What they did was compare our style of government to the style of government in North Korea. Could also compare it to the style of government in Hungary, or Russia, or 1930s Germany. Nothing wrong in making apt comparisons.
But you didn't. You went for North Korea. Which is also highly inaccurate, we do not have a juche regime. You guys are being racist.
The propaganda style of North Korea is well-known and makes sense to use as a metaphor.
The point is this was, is and will continue to be what America does and the way to fix that starts at not pointing at it and going "just like those wacky Asians"

Oregon is also a capitalist state, and we didn't have this dear leader propaganda shit in school. He's talking about authoritarianism, not socialism. You don't have to defend Kim John Un, he's not going to fuck you
True, it’s not like kids all recite some sort of loyalty pledge every day at school or anything.
I hated that shit, but a vague pledge that takes a minute is a whole lot less crazy than this. They're building a whole lesson plan around partisan political talking points, with the clear expectation that they're going to be propagandized with blatant lies. Even by red state standards, that's bad
It's not even generically conservative ideological talking points, it's specifically pro-Trump culture war BS, a lot of which is just flat out wrong. It reads like the goal is to kiss up to one particular authoritarian leader. So yes, it's much more like North Korea than normal American politics
#bluemaga
When you don't have an actual response, just use a lame hashtag and pretend like you made a point.
Your entire rant is an example of how the United States is the most heavily propagandized populations on Earth, but can’t realize it because of that same propaganda’s effectiveness.
It’s not technically propaganda if the default position of all media is patriotism and jingoism because it’s not the government (directly) doing it.
Every US state has problems but there is something deeply fundementally wrong with Oklahoma bsky.app/profile/stat...
It wouldn't be weirder if Scientologists ran the government.
Well done America. You have failed the test. Which test? Pretty much any test including intelligence, knowledge, humanity or even basic Christianity.
As someone with kids in high school - that level of detail for that small time period is way out of scale with other social studies topics.
The Democrats should have remembered that the victors write history and not confirmed Trump without the Jack Smith Report. ALL of this was predictable once you politely let the bad guys in.
Nazi Shit. Say a lie enough times and it becomes truth
Rewriting history.
This makes me so furious.
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!?!
Oklahoma is going batshit
He’s such a total bitch.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Klahoma
Unbelievable
How will they find any competent self-respecting teachers?
Nearly every word in that image is clownshoes
That's not education, it's indoctrination.
Every accusation from them is a confession.
Yes. It’s what they’ve been falsely accusing teachers of for ages. Precisely because they want to implement it. It’s called “Accusation in a mirror” and it’s a well know abusive behavior.
Absolutely!
Thus is why God is flooding Oklahoma. She’s pissed.
Exactly!
leave these shit holes. Top 5: OK/NEB/TX/IA/ID Sorry, but I am thoroughly disinterested. What in the fuck would anyone want to be born into a regressive, anti intellectual shit-hole like Oklahoma for?
I'll happily create a Venmo account so people can fund my moving expenses
you have my sympathies...
Democrats should sue Oklahoma for violating their free exercise of religion rights.
I hope parents are lining up to sue the everloving shit out of this guy.
In Oklahoma? I think the parents probably wrote this curriculum
My kid had to go to school in OK for two years. It was a nightmare for us both. We left so she could be in a good public school system, and thank goddess, it didn’t hurt her. Walters is the worst thing to happen to OK schools. Gov. Schitt is the second. Senators Mullin and Lankford tie for 4th.
*dueling banjos plays in the background*
In Oklahoma there’s tons of parents pushing back to Ryan Walters, he’s deeply unpopular and butt buddies with the governor
It feels like if I was a teacher there, I would rather teach my students nothing at all than this tripe. Oh nooo the Civil Rights unit ran over again! Guess we don't have time for more current affairs.
Below is a little summary of the deceptive way these standards came to be passed: bsky.app/profile/aunt...
Sickening.
Can someone help me better understand where in the process this text is? Is this a proposal of standards that's likely to undergo changes further review, or is this a finalized version that will officially be on the books? Just looking for more info to contextualize when sharing.
The Republican majority Oklahoma state house of representatives refused to take these standards up on Tuesday of this week. This means the standards will go into effect, and Ryan Walters can keep jerking it to Dear Leader's portrait.
There has to be a way to fight this nonsense in court. Surely the right of each child to an education incorporates the requirement that the education be accurate & fact-based.
North Korea level
History is framed by the conquerors. That sounds like half of the US population will be "ruled", over powered, by this racist Trump fascists.
Fuck no.
I’m surprised there is any room left in Trump’s ass considering how firmly Lyndsey Graham has taken residence there
Yet I doubt they’re mentioning a thing about the Tulsa massacre
Oklahoma schools are ranked #49 among the 50 states. But, sure, its students are going to show great expertise in understanding and explaining statistical graphs that "demonstrate" a false narrative of a stolen election. Fucking ass-licking idiot.
Hitler youth?
Classic rewriting of history. Taken directly from the Hitler playbook. Propaganda
OKKKlahoma is a new take on the old musical.
This, right here, is why I no longer see a path forward for the "United" States. When we cannot agree on basic facts, there can be no common ground from which to operate.
Whoever the next Democrat president is needs to go scorched earth on this kind of misinformation. There's no other way to save the country.
When we take power back I DEMAND we go just as hard at reversing this madness and making sure this can NEVER happen again. I mean i demand executive orders every 5 min dismantling the republicans agenda.
I would demand even more than that, honestly. Salt the earth.
Dismantle the Republican party in its entirety, remove the extremists from their posts, and throw a good chunk of them in jail for the next 25 years.
Trump should have been hanged publicly after a quick treason trial on the capitol steps in summer or fall 2021 in a sane world. The GOP should be declared a terrorist org.
Absolutely. It's unreal this man was allowed to continue his assault on truth the American people.
100% these extremist sycophants should be charged with treason every last one of them.
Oh man this is just propaganda, not just the 2020 stuff, everything on that list
💯
The good thing is that no history teacher actually makes it this far in the curriculum.
child abuse
What happens when the kids doing research and using AI for research find no such examples, learn mail in ballots are safe, ask how you can think a record number of voters is bad and that no one stopped counting ballots? What then?
All AI other than Grok will be blocked in Oklahoma.
Problem for them is if you ask Grok about those things, it tells the truth. Lots of published stories about Grok making Elon and Trump out to be the liars they are.
Good point.
Mr. Walters, if the Dems could rig an election against Trump while he was in the White House, why couldn't they have done it when he wasn't in the White House?
*student is immediately deported to El Salvador*
The Deep State rigged the election against him once and rigged the election for him twice, it's all part of their nefarious master plan
"That will be covered in the next chapter, How the Smart, Handsome, Super-Masculine Elon Musk Saved America, sponsored by Tesla."
How did you manage to type that without vomiting?
Luckily I haven't had lunch yet.
I thought the exact same thing. I just got a little sick reading it.
Oklahoma! Where the lies grow faster than the wheat! When the teachers speak, The falsehoods reek, Worse than any rotten piece of meat!
Wish we could be singing this instead: He looks like he's asleep It's a shame that he won't keep But it's summer and we're running out of ice
No. Just no.
and required to learn that Covid came from a lab. Where’s the section about ignorance being strength?
He wants to get out of Oklahoma and get into DC so badly.
Unbelievable... these scum must be stopped. We are surrounded by insane mentally deficient inbreeds.
This is what fascism looks like.
Complete fascist lying propaganda. Mandating the teaching of right wing pseudoscience with the lab leak is as dangerous as the election stealing lie.
USA is unhinged.
Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.
Yes, that's right, Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia. And as for those Communards
Oh...HELL NO!!
All of it is propaganda to praise Dear Leader. Hope some kids are smart enough to to describe the WH felon's tax scam as the give-away to his wealthy donors it is & NAFTA 2.0 as not much more than ego stroking & that he just wanted to slap his name on the existing deal.
I've put up with a lot of shit living here, frankly, this may finally be too much.
And in case anyone wonders, owning a home and having your career and professional licensure established in a place makes leaving a tall order.
What the "just leave" people also don't understand is: why should you have? You shouldn't have to abandon a place you've established yourself. You should be able to live wherever you want and fascists shouldn't be able to make you leave. It's victim blaming.
Yah sure but the fact that it's an unjust situation doesn't change what an individual should do to minimize their risk. Eg: Trans people should be able to get diagnoses/meds from healthcare providers and trust the government won't abuse this, but they can no longer trust that, so they shouldn't
Sure. If you're in physical harm's ways I'm not telling you to stay and get killed. We're not discussing openly hostile trans violence. I'm talking about a specific type of person who is like "If you don't like it, leave." Which misses the point that this is my home too and I want to stay here.
Okay, my bad for misinterpreting. You were replying to someone who was talking about their personal decision to stay or leave and I read it in that context
(in the example I'm saying it's safer to get gray market meds, not to not get meds)
Hadn't really thought of it that way but it rings correct to me.
Tangential to your post but i DO think this type of hostile nonsense law is to get left leaning people to concentrate themselves into a handful of blue states. Then the right has ensured electoral and senate dominance forever + enough states for constitutional convention. They want you to leave.
If just leaving was easy we’d have moved like 500,000 democrats from California to Wyoming and Montana and picked up four free senate seats
For real though, if you're a Dem and can move to one of those places you should(if you've got like a WFH job or something). They're beautiful and maybe your influence can make it a safer place for others. Plus property is cheap.
Exactly. And not wanting to uproot your kid(s) from everything they've known and making them have to start all over.
FFS
If I were a teacher I would include that info with my lesson on cults.
I guess if you think they’re all going to be working in beautiful new factories, turning screws, then they don’t need to know much.
so basically no one learns anything
This song from Rogers and Hammerstein‘s “South Pacific” leaps to mind every time I hear the hateful rhetoric of Stephen Miller about children and education. The dishonor, cruelty and damage done by POTUS,VP and their minions will ripple for generations! #ProtectTheConstitution youtu.be/VPf6ITsjsgk
How the self claimed proud Americans are willing to suck up the most disgusting moron.
The whole draft standards are harder to find than they should be, but you can download them here: www.fox23.com/news/effort-...
Of course he did.
Christianity sure has a Nazi problem these days
I would make my kids fail that unit if I lived in OK, but I would NEVER live in OK, and I lived in AL by choice, so I guess I am not really one to throw stones.
Oklahoma 3 R’s: eRase, Rewrite, Reprogram
Ffs, use ALT. Please??? This is impossible to read
As Oklahomans, that's why we homeschool. The school system here is a failure and if you want your kids to get any education you are unfortunately going to have to do it yourself. (We hate it here someone rescue us lol)
Absolutely outrageous
Please tell me this is not real!!!
Oh, I'm sure that'll go real well. Nothing more reliable than an American social studies teacher's devotion to authority.
And just when I thought americans could not get stupider. ….
No way. That is what dictators do. Indoctrinate the young
All 5 of those elements are partisan bullcarp. There’s some interesting fuel for discussion, but the expectations are clear, and in direct opposition to the rational interpretation. If one has school aged kids, they should enroll them in a school that is NOT in OK.
Both states keep voting for the people who brought them these respective results. I guess they like what they’re seeing. Maybe they’re shootings for rock bottom.
Welcome to 1984
those kids after graduation.
Glad we "signed those Abraham accords" and "successfully avoided new wars."
Oklahoma can’t destroy their state fast enough, it seems.
The victor re-writes the history
No one should send their child to a school willing to lie to them. Just no. Who knows what else they are teaching. Better to try to move as soon as you can to a school with ethics. Hopefully this doesn't really happen.
Oklahobo
This isn’t the Onion?
Holy fucking shit, these people are depraved.
This is government indoctrination. This is what they do in totalitarian countries.
What. The. Hell. I’d pull my kids out of school, no question.
I will train my kids to loudly say the truth when this comes up.
I would have be willing to do that when I was in high school!
ugh, you'll just doing the same thing they are, making kids be our pawns in adult political games.
Train is kind of a gross word. I already encourage my kids to speak truth to power. I will continue to do so with these standards in mind.
👏
Holy shit, the teachers would learn to fear my kids if we lived in Oklahoma. They're already argumentative AF and I can arm them with way more statistics knowledge than the OK educational requirements.
Don’t blame the teachers.
If they teach it, yes, blame them
As my teacher friend said they can mandate what we teach but not how we teach it.
Correct. If it is taught without a disclaimer of sort, blame the teacher. Just as one would if a teacher was to teach “2+2=5”, mandate or not.
Actually they can mandate how you teach it. Teaching from scripts is actually a thing and a pretty effective thing.
That’s kind of what they want/hope for because it is their desired outcome (homeschooling or private schooling).
Pulling kids out of public school and putting them in private schools (or homeschooling) is part of their goal, to dismantle free public education
Exactly this. Plus sending state money to religious schools via the Parental Tax Choice.
SERIOUSLY considering not paying my taxes next year. For what?!!
But, what choice would parents have? No kid of mine would go to school hear their lies. IDK - I don’t have the answers…
Not saying there's a good alternative. That's what makes it so terrible
the really nefarious problem with this, is if you're a student, it then calls into question everything else they're teaching you. So really it works well at discrediting public education as a whole
Yes. Hope more of them end up with healthy skepticism and sharpened critical thinking skills then end up totally brainwashed MAGA moron clones.
Granted, students should be skeptical about everything they are taught anyway. Teachers can be wrong, after all.
Yep
...great way to move from 49th to 50th in US education ranking...the continued miseducation of Oklahoma children...someone call Child Protective Services...
Every Nazi in America collaborating in fascism is going to be held mercilessly accountable for their crimes against America & humanity. It’s seditious support for & spreading of Russian propaganda that incited a terror attack on our capital in coup attempt.
So insane!
Hope he gets sued into oblivion.
... and get your HS diploma that qualifies you to work in one of those new iPhone factories.
Social Studies = Introduction to the Magaverse
Anyway, thanks for reminding us in Ohio that we're not absolutely as fucked-up as we could be.
Oklahoma earning their national education rank of 48th
Can parents opt out of this the way they can sex ed or knowledge of slavery?
Stealing an election makes me feel bad about our country, so by their definition that’s illegal DEI right?
PARENTS RIGHTS!!!
This is actually an important question. I have considered that if I still had small kids, I would do just that and ensure that the school understand that my child would not suffer by missing that material or on a test, at risk of suit.
I have a string feeling that the south only believes in Parents Rights for regulating information when it agrees with them... not facts.
*strong Darn these over excited thumbs!
Oy
There is a not 0% chance that Ryan Walters' phone and computer hard drives are chock full of child p*rn. Experience has shown that folks that go so hard for religion and "protecting the children" are themselves sexual predators that use religion as a shield. It's just a waiting game at this point.
JESUS EFFING CHRIST
My sentiment exactly
Jesus Christ
Those people are disgusting
This guy is nuts
Hey they're moving faster. Took them decades to mention how they destroyed Greenwood. 🤷🏿♀️
Even if we survive this presidency as a nation, we’re going to be dealing with these cultists for the rest of our lives. This is going to be a very long, very ugly struggle.
Lost Cause ideology 2.0
It's a profoundly stupid thing to do, but they can do it.
Ryan Walters isn’t required to have sex with men, but the impulse is strong, and the dumb fuck orc is weak, so you figure out the odds of homosexual activity in Ryan’s hidden world.
North Korea of the West
What next? Rewriting the Civil War???
Lololol
Oh, FFS!
Oklahoma is a lost cause. They revel in their ignorance.
Follow the leader!!
Oooooooooh down there where the brain cells circle round the drain...
It’s a cult 🤪
Actually, that’s pretty vague criteria. It doesn’t tell you what to conclude after analyzing that information. I could easily fulfill that requirement while also showing how it’s hogwash.
Commissar Ryan can fuck all the way off. There is no alternative version. There is only the truth.
republicans have been able to investigate and expose all this fraud for well over two years now, and they swore they would, they even ran on it. and yet...
I don't understand why people in Oklahoma aren't outraged about everything this guy does.
Do you have a link for this?
Every standard on that list is pretty bad😵💫.
And the highlighted section is arguably not even the worst!
That’s nuts! Can you link to source? Thanks!
Well, this certainly counts as grooming.
Upcoming new standards for other classes: Health class: analyze link between vaccines and autism Review COVID-19 vaccine harm data. Discuss effectiveness of Ivermectin treatment. American History: Review and discuss Jan 6th 2021 as a patriotic protest. Analyze role played by FBI.
Is this for real?
Walters needs to be REMOVED. He blatantly ignores the Constitution. If I had kids in this state I would be moving right quick. He is horrid.
Oklahoma is a totally red state & I guess they’re fine with what they’re getting since they keep supporting these loons.
About 60% are happy, plenty are not.
OMG. The rest of it is awful too 😡
Wait ril they cover “boofing” in the Supreme Court section.
Oklahoma about to be the first state to fall in line for communist style indoctrination… how very America of them.
Apparently the goal of the dumbass who heads Oklahoma Education is to make Oklahomans stupid, uninformed liars.
WTF is happening to the USA?! 😳 🤬
Oklahoma statehood revoked.
So...NOT teaching that all the election lawsuits were lost and claims of pervasive election fraud were groundless bullshit that melted like rancid butter when perjury was on the line.
It's going to make it easier for employers during job interviews. "Who won the 2020 election?" "Donald Trump" "OK, thanks for coming in. Bye" It will be (accurately) assumed that if they were educated in OK, they don't have basic competencies/factual knowledge for employment in most industries.
Indoctrination! They screamed accusatorially as they planned how to codify the indoctrination of children to lies and nonsense.
They’ll soon be forcing photos of Dear Leader in every living room with patriotic music blaring through the provided speakers.
Odd to push this while banning library books that deviate from outdated norms.
I'm trying to find a source for this, but all that comes up is Walters' settlement to pay $18k for ethics violations. Additionally (and unrelated to that?), half of his own party in state congress wants him investigated.
He is loathed across the state, even by arch conservatives.
What are they calling it, "Handwaving Bullshit 101"?
It’s a cult
WTF...dude is unwell and dangerous for education. What a chode!
That entire list is no f'ing way
Oklaaaaaaaahoma where they can all go fuck themselves. 🎶🎶🎶
Constantly living in a fantasy land won’t make it true I feel for the students that have to hear about this garbage over and over
No time like the present to start brainwashing em’
Surprised?! How many times have you heard them say “Indoctrination”?
It’s the only model of education they understand. They don’t object to indoctrination: they just want to be the ones doing it.
Don’t just blame Walters. The OK legislature could have sent them back to be redone. They reviewed them and let them stand as is.
Remember the shit-hole countries they once talked about? Think I found 1!
I really do apologize for having the same name 😓 he’s a fucking nazi
While singing YMCA, cause it's a Christian song
How can you identify things that didn't happen?
Yikes...That kind of education will make those kids way less competitive for admissions at colleges in states that don't believe in rewriting history. I'm horrified and yet, it seemed inevitable someone would try this.
Looking at the entire section, it’s a justification for Trump’s actions and is pure indoctrination. This is appalling and frightening. Students will also be learning lies on the origins of COVID, (Chinese lab) and Roe v Wade.
OMFG
Shocking
Indoctrination much?
If this isn't cult brainwashing children, I don't know what is.
Y'all would be better off staying home from school and working on tik tok.
Sounds familiar "Mao Zedong used various methods, including education and propaganda, to indoctrinate the Chinese population, particularly during the Cultural Revolution. He sought to instill his "Mao Zedong Thought" into all aspects of life, starting at a young age."
And the Dear Leader wrestled a Gryphon into submission to get the electoral votes for Pennsylvania...
It will be called “The Lost Cause”.
Unsurprising from a state so pig-ignorant they only run their schools four days a week.
OMFG
Those poor kids. They don’t deserve this.
Also, covid-19 didn't come from a Chinese lab. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
