🚨 OKLAHOMA BECOMES FIRST STATE TO TEACH TRUMP’S LIES AS FACT IN CLASSROOMS 🚨

Oklahoma is leading the charge to rewrite history — literally. Starting this fall, high school students will be required to learn Trump’s false claims about the 2020 election as though they were proven facts. The new social studies curriculum, pushed through by far-right Superintendent Ryan Walters (R), isn’t just misinformation — it’s indoctrination, funded by taxpayers.

The curriculum teaches kids that there were “discrepancies” in the 2020 election — citing imaginary ballot dumps, mail-in ballot fraud, and the collapse of “bellwether” counties — all of which have been debunked. There was no widespread fraud. There was no halted counting. There is no evidence. But truth no longer matters in Oklahoma classrooms.

This is the first state to formally enshrine Trump’s election lies into official curriculum — and he’s cheering it on. Trump personally praised Walters, who already spent state education funds on Trump Bibles for public schools. Yes, taxpayer money went toward religious propaganda bearing the president’s name.

In a move that stunned even conservative educators, Walters rushed the 400-page changes through the State Board of Education the night before the vote. He packed the standards committee with right-wing media figures — including Dennis Prager & Kevin Roberts from the Project 2025 creating Heritage Foundation.

To make room for this revisionist Trump narrative, the new standards erase most accomplishments from President Biden’s term and instead focus heavily on the Bible. Christianity is now a major thread in Oklahoma public schools, with lessons on David and Goliath for 6-year-olds and entire courses on early Christianity for teens.

Far-right activists like Moms for Liberty are openly threatening Republicans who dare oppose the curriculum, warning them they’ll be “next” if they stand in the way of Trump’s rewritten America.

A nerdy 6th grader sits in the classroom, alone, during recess. Reading. Such a nerd turd... the big strong kid saw: no teachers! so came, and pushed the nerd turd, off the chair... to the ground. Then the strong bully ran away. Nerd followed, and saw he hid in the library, to "cut" class.

Later, the cafeteria kitchen has a fire! Smoke is filling the hallway and library! Outside, Teachers take attendance, whoever was in attendance, is safely out! But... Nerd knows that Bully is in the library, that is full of smoke. Bully has not come out... teachers don't know because he was not in class during attendance... see poll options...

In my career as a teacher I started out being what I now consider to be a complete unreasonable prick. I would assign work over the vacation as well as frown upon parent/student chosen off days. I wouldn't even give any consideration to cuts of class when the student was having personal problems (think like crying in the bathroom, family crisis, had to work, didn't have child care - yes, I've had teen parents as students, etc). I still shudder when I think that I was that awful person.

Like everything else in life I lived and I learned. I now ENCOURAGE IF NOT DEMAND students to take a day off and I tell their parents explicitly "If adults can give themselves a day off why can't kids if they're not up to it?". I realized that there is nothing going on in my classroom that is more important than the lives that they live. The entire concept of giving school work over a break is so ludicrous to me now! It's called a "break" for a fucking reason (plus HW of ANY kind has ZERO discernable statistical difference in grades, retention, class satisfaction, etc).
