What civic classes? We don't get those in Oklahoma. Yeah you don't want to know what they are trying to teach our kids. I will glad when my youngest son graduates this year and I don't have to listen to the bullshit the school districts here are trying to force on our kids.
Also glad my kids don't listen to the nonsense and trust in what I have to say
Oh shit, I didn't see your comment before I made my comment mentioning Oklahoma. Sounds like you are in the dead center of the BS. Was it so bad when you were in school too or has it gotten markedly worse? Would love to hear first-hand about Oklahoma schooling beyond what I read in the headlines.
I could just send you the emails Ryan Walter's sends us parents if you want to know the hell we live through. And it gets worse every week. Myself I went to school in Texas, and actually it was pretty good. Of course we had a Democratic Governor when I was in school. Plus I remember actually learning things. That also was before they only taught to the test the way they teach now.
My condolences....yikes. Are the other board members trying to hold him accountable at all? I mean for all I know they like what he's doing professionally but I recall that even they were against ummm checks notes watching porn during an official board meeting...
That was all they cared about, far has the rest it's full steam ahead.
Really? It's not a thing in Canada either, or at least my region of it. We have "social studies" which combines history and present social concerns.
Yes that we had growing up in Texas.
LOL, best government teacher I ever had was in Tulsa. Overall, she wasn't great as a teacher, but rather than teaching so much to the letter of the law, she taught how it works out in real life.
I'll never forget her talking about all the ways, despite the low pay, our Congressmen rake, even well within the law!
