At the White House of President Trump, scams compete with each other for oxygen. Exiled American citizens Cumbling with front pages Ice raids, Leaked in Pentagon Wrestling with salty drip-drip-drip of details Trump’s relationship for child sex traffic jeffari EpsteinThis is tired.
The chorus of Trump’s noise and distraction is not strategic, but the chaos does not need to be strategic for paper at the low visible horrifying of the Maga Republican. Just ask Oklahoman, who wakes up from just a world where teachers outside the state are now “necessary to pass”America-first exam ” GOP’s Netist “anti” means testing his loyalty to the ideology. If you don’t pass, you don’t teach.
Oklahoma’s effort comes to face the state in accordance with Trump’s far-flung politics Lack of close record teacherThis barely matters to the public instructions of the State Superintendent Ryan Walters. In the view of Walters, a state-wide teacher brain-drain is better to hire a “Vok Indochinator” who lived in the city of New York. The school children of Oklahoma will pay a terrible price for the blasphemous stunts of their state.
The new examination of the state brings one of the Republican’s greatest conceived complaints to the left – that Democrats and other shady forces are motivating our children by injecting radical politics in their education. Nevertheless, the Oklahoma Republican is now relying on a loyalty examination created by the Orthodox Media Outlet Pagaru, an uncontrolled “university” whose founder has openly called to use schools “persuade“Children in conservative ideology. Walters should appreciate irony.
Teachers going from California or New York to Oklahoma will now need to agree with the standards of Republican-Elected State History 2020 election claims stolen From Trump by Democratic Trump. They will also need to be taught Infamous principle He was the result of covid-19 “Lab leak“Meanwhile, units on racial history have either been sanctified or Completely removed,
For a state that ranks a disappointing 48th in quality of educationThe acquisition of Maga of Oklahoma schools would mean that students also fall behind their companions. This is a disadvantage that students cannot tolerate – not when Oklahoma’s college enrollment rates have already declined. 20 percent in the last decade And only one third of high school graduates Proceed to attend collegeThis number will definitely fall now that Oklahoma’s student will graduate with a master in Maga and very little.
Oklahoma may be the first red state to surrender its schools in the church of Maga, but it will not be final. Walters’ action is just the Republican Party’s first attempt to implement Trump’s executive order “K-12 ending racial dissection in schooling“At the state level. The order survived heavy media coverage as Trump quickly lost interest, but the conservative state MPs lifted the slack before the mid -term elections of 2026. The rotten loyalty test of Oklahoma now acts as a blueprint for future state efforts that convert teachers into biased campaigners.
Trump’s order accused the teachers of printing “anti -American, destructive, harmful and false ideologies among the children of our country,” Republican MPs offered a fabricated cause to swing back against those so -called “false ideologies”. For millions of Republicans that believe that discussing the racial history of America is the same to hate the country, forcing teachers to tell all this about history that history seems like a blessing.
Of course, the implication is that Trump’s Maga Nativism is a true ideology of America and has always been (although it is clearly an ideology. It can only stand on its own. It can only stand on its own when all competitive ideas are banned). It is an ideology that enhances the vague idea of “Dr. Martin Luther King, Junior”. Separating all the details about What the king believed or murderedAs in Texas schools. This is less American education to relax fairy tales.
This is not education.
Those simplified myths of American history can relax the unprotected maga crowd, but they set our children for failure in a modern world that really depends on what is going on. How can we cultivate rich citizens, alone competent political leaders, if we are also denying them a basic understanding of our national reality?
An independent society should recite the idea that teachers have to pass a political loyalty test to teach mathematics and science. In its crowd to score political points with the White House, Republicans of Oklahoma are on the verge of establishing their children back by a generation. If this passes for American extraordinaryness at the age of Trump, then our country is for a cruel awake call.
