Oklahoma’s students will now be taught that the 2020 election was stolen, and that COVID-19 was created in a Chinese lab.
Oklahoma’s Senate refused to even vote on this.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It’s not just the education system here either:
And what about child welfare? The Fed’s just stopped overseeing DHS, surely things are better now?
I can’t share too much - but I can say that when I brought up the fact that DHS LOST(!) the kid I was working with pretty routinely, they started to suggest that I might be sexually abusing her. It fucking sucks that I had to quit that role, but as a tranny I’m not risking anything.
You have to fit your own oxygen mask first
You will help others. You can't help everyone
I tried that, and all I got was a bunch of loose screws, a handful of broken hearts, and a liver that you can use when you want new soles for your shoes
You are the first trans person I've ever seen using that slur to describe themselves. Is it a reclaimed word thing?
Sorta. I guess it’s an angry sarcastic thing. A response to the feelings of dehumanization.
Like less reclaiming but more - that’s what they see me as. To the state of Oklahoma and most Oklahomans, I am nothing more than a slur. There’s been tons and tons of gaslighting - “we live in America! It’s illegal to discriminate against people so what’s happening to you isn’t happening to you!”
I’d just rather be direct. I don’t count as a person here - I am a “tranny.”
