          The department head shit was also extremely frustrating. I wanted the position, had been flow out to a leadership conference by the district the summer before, presented a spreadsheet documenting some of my plans for improvement over five years (detailed, worked with some of the best minds in science education.)

          But the anti vaxxer applied too. His great plan was “we should focus on more reading.”

          I’m sure the fact that I was 🏳️‍🌈 had zero impact on the principals decision lol. (Anti vaxxer guy did limp wrist impressions of me too. But who the fuck cared.)

          Like it’s amazing. Oklahoma just actively does not want capable teachers.

          There’s a reason Oklahoma is 49th for education.

          During COVID, the biology teacher at the high school I worked (and later, the fucking department head) was a creationist with a Bible college degree that would compliment students for forgoing masks and explicitly taught anti-vaxx shit.

          Climate change is fun too - I put on a PD once and a teacher was really fucking pissed that I was showing data on how Milanokovich cycles do not explain modern climate patterns… literally thought she was going to fight me.

            Milanokovich Cycles

            That has to be the dumbest excuse for anti-climate change arguments I’ve heard in a while.

            Do people really think that every single climate scientist who has dedicated their lives to studying shit that affects the climate, is unaware of and didn’t account for, natural variations in solar energy the Earth receives, which I learned about in elementary school?

      She’s already 6B on the floor since she engaged in personalities bashing Crockett on the floor.

      Said something about Jasmine Crockett’s ‘fake eyelashes getting in the way’ so she called her bad built bleach blond butch body

      I felt there was a 7th b but she drew the line to not escalate.

    What’s especially fucking dumb is the argument of ‘hurr money out of your pocket’. That shit goes right out the god damned window the second you look at where our taxes go i.e. the budget. Of what we overall pay education is laughably low.

      Por when you think about it for more than one second. You went to school. If it wasn’t paid out of taxes it would have had (not a native English speaker, imnot sure if have had is right) to be paid LITERALLY out of your own pocket

      That’s the neat part. It’s weaponized feigned incompetence.

      After Noem got the definition of Habeus Corpus exactly wrong in a recent hearing, some Lemmings have suggested that the RNC stooges in power are all playing dumb. Now, I can’t unsee it. It makes sense: play dirty because your aims are underhanded and illegal, and your opposition is both outraged and busy attacking the wrong thing. Every time we all get in a fit about how stupid this sounds, which takes up valuable space and time from doing anything useful.

      Edit: it’s like a misbehaving kid that knows if he keeps telling the right kind of lie he can get away with just about anything.

      Edit2: In Greene’s case, her “argument” is also signaling being a “useful idiot” to her base for getting the job done.

    Obviously privately held education will be held to the highest of standards.

    And will never indoctrinate. Anyone.

    Because the people in power will be held responsible to no one.

    MTG IS astoundingly stupid. Boebert couldn’t manage to complete high school. Noem seems to think Habeas Corpus is the name the orange guy gave his “kick anyone out” croquet mallet. Just 3 among many, of the losers who seem to be in charge right now.

    Schools are for indoctrinating children, guys. Train them to fight their biology, conform to a factory setting, and have knowledge presented as something frustrating and difficult obtain. You guys just want them indoctrinated the “correct way” from teachers s stupid and out of date as you are.

      Hmmm, let’s see.

      The history of education, like other history, extends at least as far back as the first written records recovered from ancient civilizations. Historical studies have included virtually every nation.

      The earliest known formal school was developed in Egypt’s Middle Kingdom under the direction of Kheti, treasurer to Mentuhotep II (2061-2010 BC)

      Username checks out.

      Seriously, I get it, education systems are often extremely flawed, but education has a long and storied history of being the root of all of humanity’s progress.

      We need to do better for our children, but that doesn’t include fundamentally incorrect extremes like “formal schooling is bad”.

      There’s absolutely truth to the argument that our school system is moreso obedience training than education, but this is not the time for that battle

      …especially considering that the alt-right is responsible for removing civics classes, cutting school resources, and is just going to replace public schools with a more regressive, christo-fascist schools where staff can beat and sexually abuse children… like in private christo-fascist schools.

      Tbh it’s the first time I see her name (iirc), and thanks to that everything, including the answer she received, was “amusing” to me.

      She pretty much sounds like any of the current right-wing populists and anarchocapitalists. This is an american trend, sadly winning force everywhere… This meme is fully on-topic across the western world :(

        I don’t know if it’s winning force so much as it’s being spread by bots and bad actors, although the result is more or less the same. Flooding the zone with their rhetoric makes it look like it’s well supported, which in turns convinces some people that it might not be nonsense.
