Republicans push through education reform, prohibitions on diversity training in schools

[Diamond_Dog]

1. So, in addition to the woeful "education reform" bill ...

“Lawmakers also held several committee meetings this week, approving a slew of bills on abortion restrictions, demanding localities cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and calling Oklahoma a sanctuary state for the Second Amendment.

And Rep. Danny Williams, R-Seminole, brought back his highly contentious bill that would prohibit any governmental entity, including schools, from providing mandatory sexual and gender diversity training. If training was required, public funding would be pulled.“

They’re going to put Oklahoma in the top ten, all right. Top ten states for ignorance, bigotry, white supremacy, and all-around backwards thinking.

Re diversity training ... I could see making it optional, and leaving it up to each individual school,district to Decide whether or not to implement it ... but banning it outright with punishment of losing state funding ... just wow. That’s making a real hateful statement there.
Just dreadful all around.
