Oklahoma Mandates Schools Teach 2020 Election Was Stolen

Oh look. Oklahoma attention whore and noted transphobe Ryan Walters, the state supernintendo of schools, is out huntin' headlines again.

Somehow overlooked and not elevated to a high Education position in the Second Reign Of Terror (Wrestling promoter Vince McMahon bought the Sec of Ed position for his wife), Walters attempts to continually burnish his Trump bonafides by dusting off the ole Christian Creationism playbook and issuing orders to "teach the controversy".
 
If they did this in a fair, reasonable and correct way I wouldn't be opposed to it.

They could say, for example, "During the 2020 election, many disputed the outcome and claimed that the Democrats "Stole" the election. Thousands descended on the capitol during the ballot certification to protest the outcome. However, detailed investigations ultimately proved that the accusations of cheating were baseless and unfounded, and no widespread fraud took place."

This is a fair, unbiased, factual and historically accurate description of what took place during the 2020 election. It does not elaborate on the violence that occurred during the capitol protest, only that a protest happened. And, the italic sentence is key- it states the unequivocal fact that subsequent investigations proved that no widespread fraud took place. This is a fair, reasonable, unbiased and historically accurate description of that election, and I don't think many people would take issue with this account being taught in history or government classes. Yes, it is true that there were accusations of fraud and cheating. Yes, it is also true that these accusations were investigated and subsequently debunked. All of this is utterly true.

If, however, the Oklahoma schools are refusing to admit the part of the investigations subsequently debunking the fraud allegations, then they are failing to do their job of teaching true accurate history and doing a grave disservice to the students. It is just as bad as teaching that the Holocaust was a myth, or that the Jews were responsible for the 9-11 attacks, in my opinion (And I've heard both of these "opinions" spewed by the usual suspects on this board.)

What nonsense! The Jews bombed Pearl Harbor!

You can tell because they were shouting "Torah! Torah! Torah!"
 
Quoted for irony. :)

RockHead is pretending I don’t post actual economic facts consistently in this forum. On the other hand, RockHead exclusively makes inane fact-free comments.

Poor RockHead. It may be as mentally disabled as tinta/noitall. 😆

I hope we can all agree, at this point, that there's no defending Oklahoma's decision here.
 
Oh and that an old guy with a white beard built a large boat to hold all the animal species during a flood...probably.

Either you accept the fact that old white haired fuck stole the election or that the american voter is so dumb as to elect a president that can destroy the world and that same white haired fuck can be trusted with the bomb, taxes, inflation, and is a unifier. No matter how you slice it, Trump was the better choice and NPR and the letter networks never tell the truth, ever. Not saying Trump is a great alternative but compared to Biden, he is a million times better
