How #Oklahoma #Republicans plan to depoliticize public schools.
usatoday.com/story/news/politi

"Teachers from #California and #NewYork who want to work in Oklahoma public schools will be required to pass a certification test to prove they share the state's conservative political values. Regardless of the subject or grade they teach, they'll have to show they know "the biological differences between females and males" and that they agree with the state's American history standards, which includes elements of a conspiracy theory that the Democratic Party stole the 2020 presidential election from President Donald Trump…#PragerU is helping Oklahoma's state department of education develop the test."

I think importing #US #Prudishness is always bad, so thanks #BanEater for taking a deep dive into that #TV #Censorship device that @TechConnectify looked into...

  • People swearing in media in #Germany is normal ffs!

Censoring #Queer, #Lesbian and #Sex is just bad.

Repeat after me: "THROWING TECHNOLOGY AFTER SOCIAL ISSUES IS NOT A SOLUTION!"

Also Prudish folks are the real language facists as they want to force their bs. upon others.

  • Sorry but your reactionary world view doesn't represent reality!

Imagine a world in which you can lose your job for calling someone by their chosen name. Welcome to today's world of teaching. In Florida, you can be fired for calling your students by their chosen name without parental consent. That's what happened to Melissa Calhoun.

Her district's superintendent said that parental input can’t be ignored. But what if the parents are just plain wrong?

No matter. SCOTUS gave a ruling earlier this year that essentially made parental input is the ONLY thing that matters. Parents across the nation can now exempt their child from any and all curriculum that "goes against their religious beliefs." This would allow parents to exempt their kids from any of the standards, including evolution, in biology, or the Civil Rights movement, in U.S. history.

From the teachers' and schools' perspective, this completely throws the concept of teaching standards out the window. It makes it pointless for teachers to plan curriculum in advance since they wouldn't know until the last minute which students, if any, would be allowed to learn it. And it would significantly increase teachers' workload since they must create alternative curriculum for students who are exempted.

As with Proscription of Palestine Action, Labour are digging down on the OSA - badly formed legislation aimed at the wrong people and I assume intentionally broad to allow further control and censorship bu increasingly authoritarian UK governments.

I predict they will be left well scrambled and a plentitude of Oeuf sur le visage.

‘State-driven censorship’: new wave of book bans hits Florida school districts

The Republican-dominated state, which has already had the highest rate of book bans nationwide this year, is continuing to censor reading materials in schools, bowing to external pressures in an effort to avoid conflict and government retaliation.

How can you ban The Diary of Anne Frank???
