      form a nation around the myth of an undefeatable superior race

      lose the first war you fight

      ideology survives in the form of chuds you would have executed on sight

      they still lose constantly

      :thonk:

      Naziism is just American civic ideology. All the main tenants were pulled from American policy, except instead of using christian excuses for racial superiority, they used a fake "volk" religion they made up.

    The Nazi thing is probably someone that is big mad about people criticising slavers or imperialists, and taking the "no condemnations" to the logical endpoint. That moment when you realize that the people you valorize aren't different enough from the nazis that you can separate their actions.

    The Oklahoma one is actually much worse than this tweet suggests. Here's the summary of the entire bill from the Oklahoma State Legislature:

    SB 1470 creates the Students’ Religious Belief Protection Act. The measure prohibits any public school from employing or contracting with person that promotes positions in the classroom or at any function of the public school that is in opposition to closely held religious beliefs of students. Parents and guardians may bring action against a school for occurrences when a public school promotes positions in opposition to closely held religious beliefs of the student. Relief may be granted by the court providing for an injunction which immediately enjoins the school from promoting such positions. If the school does not comply, the measure provides that petitioners may refile for relief naming the individuals who continue to violate the provisions of this measure. Named persons shall be liable for $10,000.00 in damages and may not receive any assistance from individuals or groups to make such payments. Persons found to have received aid shall be terminated from their position and may not be reemployed by a public school for a period of 5 years. Persons continuing to violate the provisions of this measure after the 2nd filing may be named in another filing and, if the court makes a finding in the petitioner’s favor, be permanently barred from working or in any way being affiliated with a public school.

    Some personal favorites:

    Persons found to have received aid shall be terminated from their position and may not be reemployed by a public school for a period of 5 years.

    if the court makes a finding in the petitioner’s favor, be permanently barred from working or in any way being affiliated with a public school.

    What this would mean is not even just that a teacher is liable for saying anything that goes against Evangelical Christian belief, they're actually liable for violating any religious beliefs of students. So even by trying to "both sides" something as basic as evolution, they would necessarily be in violation because some religious traditions, including Catholicism, canonically teach the correctness of evolution. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

    This almost strikes me as an intentional charter school ploy rather than CRT whingeing. This would still allow private school teachers to teach whatever, only public schools will have to deal with this. So you can get fired from your public school for teaching...well almost anything, and your only options are to go teach at a private school or leave teaching.

        If this passes people should make this evangelicals worst nightmare.

        :gigachad-hd: Sorry civil war revisionist teachers, you are the spawn of Yakub and I will be taking this to court

        :frothingfash: no! Not like that!

        If someone gets a $10k fine and a week later they suddenly get an award from a national teachers association with a convenient $10k prize, is that “assistance?”

        A Republican executive at some level could probably try to direct a prosecutor to sue the teacher for the assistance or whatever.

        I wouldn't think it could pass, but who knows. Oklahoma is an insane libertarian state, so maybe it will.

    so if you're mad about literally every single aspect of education, why don't you just like... homeschool your kids?

    At least if you're poor, schools do serve a very valuable daycare role, since your job(s) ensure that you physically cannot spend enough time at home for that. But if you're some small business tyrant (which I assume these chud parents tend to be, but I'm not very familiar with the demographics of this particular group of assholes), what's stopping you? Could it be that you actually fucking hate your kids, the same way you hate everyone since you're a genuinely evil person, and don't want to spend any time with them?

      I suspect this is as much about gutting public education so they can privatize it as it is about crazy religious shit.

      Giving these people say in their kid's education is what leads to this though. They would only be happy if kids were taught to be chuds from birth

    A new bill in Oklahoma proposes to charge teachers personally from their own personal resources

    Ok, I know labor rights are scant to non-existent, but that can't be legal. You can't be personally fined for something that happens on the job, can you?

    Ok, so I suspect the recent growth in obsessing over the content taught at schools is because their child says things offensive to their shallow worldview.

    Kids, armed with the knowledge easily obtainable on the internet and instant communication with less brainwashed peers, push back on their horseshit and chud parents get pissed.

    The average conservative parent wants to control their child's access to the internet, but is far too stupid to know how to setup parental controls in an airtight way that their kid couldnt easily circumvent.

    So this scapegoating of schools and teachers is just a way to offload the ego blow of admitting:

    • They are not smart enough to setup parental control software
    • They are too lazy to actually put in the effort required to completely subjugate their child's media diet to their whims
    • Their child whose views oppose theirs is smarter than they are
    • Their child is not the perfect little obedient angel they want to believe and seeks the information that offends them on their own

    Being perpetual victims, they must find someone else to place the blame on for what they perceive to be their failures. This winds up being teachers, school administrators, and local government officials. Right wing media pumps up the idea that schools are teaching their kids to hate white people and America, which they swallow hook, line and sinker because it's less ego friction to believe than the truth.

    They could fire every teacher who isn't a staunch nationalist, and their kids will still keep calling out their bullshit because the factor contributing to increased "wokeness" amongst kids is being able to communicate with peers and research shit more easily.
