    In addition to the curriculum revisions, a proposed rule approved by the state board of education in January mandates that parents enrolling their children in the state’s public schools show proof of immigration status.

    Describing the rule, which has been met with widespread outrage among parents, students and immigration advocates, Walters said: “Our rule around illegal immigration accounting is simply that … It is to account for how many students of illegal immigrants are in our schools.”

    Right. There’s no way ICE would get called or just have access to the database.

    Among those Walters appointed to the review committee were Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation and a key figure in its Project 2025 blueprint for a conservative presidential administration, and Dennis Prager, a radio talkshow host who founded Prager U, a conservative non-profit that offers “pro-American” educational materials for children that some critics say are not accurate or objective.

    No! 😮

      Prager of Prager Not-a-University. On a committee that makes decision about actual school education. Goodness. But as things stand, it’s just another brick in the wall. The USA is doomed to fail. It’s just a question of When and How, not If.

    Next up, calling slavery “jobs training” like Florida, then we can start just teaching blood libel after that.

    Just wanted to add the obligatory, “I’m ashamed I live here but not all of us are this stupid or blind” comment.

      Just the majority though. Because if they aren’t thick as mince and they don’t vote against these people, they’re dumber than the first group of imbeciles are.

        You…are not wrong. Oklahomans are a rare breed of stubborn which makes them, as you put it, thick as mince indeed.
