The state is partnering with PragerU to develop an assessment for incoming educators.

    Amid an ongoing teacher shortage

    “Nobody wants to come here, let’s make it even less appealing.”

      I think that’s actually the plan. There’s been moves to dismantle public education entirely, and once there is no more public education in Oklahoma, then the private schools can hire whoever they want.

        That seems to be the case, but what’s the end game? No one in Oklahoma is employable, and then what? I guess it doesn’t matter to the folks in charge?

          Keep them stupid and breeding so they stay down. At least that’s what the plan seems to be

            And when they starve due to zero public assistance? That can’t be the plan.

              If the proles are dying of starvation, there will be no middle class to rise up by then. He literally said “no activists”

                They can’t be so clueless as to miss the fact that no proles = no food.

                  They’ll just breed more (ie - no access to birth control of any form)

        Yes, Walters is actively trying to destroy public education. He recently made an order that all schools fund free lunch for all students, using money from bonds, scholarships and other programs - all illegal.. The state turned away federal lunch funding as well. Even if you fired all of the admin staff at most districts, that is an impossible demand - and school budgets were already submitted weeks ago.

        It’s absolute fucking insanity.

        Not really. You can only hire unqualified, incompetent clowns. I’m sure they see some value in that, but a society won’t function for long on that.

      Or attract people who probably shouldn’t be teaching.

        Yeah, the pedophiles are going to be applying for OK teaching jobs en masse. I don’t even think this is an exaggeration. 😢

          If you can get those football championships, it’s a-okay to show kids what “a real man’s dick looks like.” (this guy STILL has his teaching license)

          I have some very inside baseball about systemic cover-ups at different schools.

        As Texas did during educator shortages by lowering the standards to allow the unqualified to “teach”. There was also a push to draw from ex-military and other conservative demographics, but I don’t recollect the exact details. This compromise in quality was furthered by a scandal that had proxies taking the teaching standards tests for the already unqualified. So everything is going according to plan. /jfc
