Oklahoma Sen. Rob Standridge (R) has introduced legislation that would allow parents to sue any public school educators who teach anything "in opposition to closely held religious beliefs of students." Standridge has also introduced a bill that would give individual parents the power to demand the removal of any bookfrom school shelves that they believe contains LGBTQ content.

The bill would allow parents to sue teachers for $10,000 "per incident, per individual." The fine would need to be paid by the teacher "from personal resources" and the educator cannot "receive any assistance from individuals or groups." If the teacher is unable to pay and receives assistance, they will be fired immediately and unable to teach in the state for five years.

"A biology teacher who explains evolution could be ratted out by a Creationist who's failing science class. A health teacher who educates students about different forms of birth control won't be in that classroom for very long if an abstinence-promoting teenager is on the roster," journalist Hemant Mehta explained.

"A history teacher who correctly describes the Founding Fathers as a mix of religious and non-religious individuals could be a target of conservative evangelicals who believe Christian pseudo-historian David Barton's lies. An English teacher who wants to challenge kids with controversial thought-provoking literature would be forced to stick to only the blandest books."

Aren't you an evolution-denier, too?

I imagine it has no chance at passing? Or maybe just hope that.
 
The party of smaller government and less litigation folks.

And the bill sponsor is a pharmacist. WTAF?

 
"Good luck finding any young teachers with an open mind in that god forsaken state if that passes. WTF."

You nailed it with this statement. It's getting harder by the day to find qualified teachers. Losing educators to Texas had taken already taken a toll.

Send your fvcking kids to a religious school if you don’t like public schools, WTF is wrong with this country?

US will need grown adults to shovel sidewalks, just like they'll need educated biology majors to develop new things like mRNA vaccines....

Pay-scales are gonna be a tad different...

They’re moronic…

If you want to make a argument exaggeration is the worst way to go about it.
They're moronic and they're pushing as hard as they can all across the country. Can't teach history, can't teach about gay people, can't make white people uncomfortable, can't teach evolution, sue anyone who may help someone get birth control or terminate a pregnancy, burn a big pile of award winning books. And this is when they're not even in power.
