"Teachers from #California and #NewYork who want to work in Oklahoma public schools will be required to pass a certification test to prove they share the state's conservative political values. Regardless of the subject or grade they teach, they'll have to show they know "the biological differences between females and males" and that they agree with the state's American history standards, which includes elements of a conspiracy theory that the Democratic Party stole the 2020 presidential election from President Donald Trump…#PragerU is helping Oklahoma's state department of education develop the test."

This can't be true, can it? It seems to get worse every day.
@petersuber @academicchatter
I am surprised that any teachers from New York or California would be interested in working there in the first place.
Performative nonsense.
@petersuber @academicchatter
Clearly unconstitutional in any normal world.
@petersuber @academicchatter I can only cry for the state of some states in the United States… of course this change didn’t happen overnight and much of it was our misconception and idealization, but can you imagine the rest of the world once looked UP to you?
@petersuber @academicchatter and the real pity: while you drive back into the 1700s, you look down at us for being open to the world, open to different beliefs and ways of life, open to learn from other sources than your ancient bible… still crying
@petersuber @academicchatter don’t you mean plan to “politicize,” not “depoliticize?”
@petersuber @academicchatter So I assume the test will cover CAH, Klinefelter, Turner, Swyer, and other aneuploidies, trisomies, and pentasomies?
Right?
@liquor_american @petersuber @academicchatter …that every male human starts life as female… that women‘s equality is not debatable… that homosexuality is normal in the animal world, too?

@petersuber @academicchatter Prager U? Isn't that Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's favourite US "education" institution? #abpoli
