Oklahoma schools head Ryan Walters: Teachers who won't teach Bible could lose license
In an interview with NBC News, Walters discussed his new Bible instruction mandate and the consequences for those who don't comply.
You're viewing part of a thread.
I have no idea what on Earth you're talking about or why that means Biden needs to make a comment on this new policy before Monday.
I'm responding to your instant gratification comment. We've given these fossils to much time to change and for the most part they haven't and never will. But feel free to wait while the planet becomes one paved gas station, and your kids starve, will never own a house but you are thankful at least you are a lucky one and have a job at Walmart and continue to work into your 90s.
Huh? This has nothing to do with climate change or the economy.
You done flew that squid into a cloud of reactionaries who get real uppity if their vision of things doesn't happen by 3 months ago. A story about what a political twat said MIGHT happen is suddenly priority #1 amongst all the other things the POTUS has to deal with on the daily.
Bro maybe just maybe. Those people who you are calling "reactionaries" have been told "change is coming, it will get better just keep waiting, these things don't happen overnight." For the last 4 or 5 decades?
And maybe they're ignoring things like the civil rights movement, the original implementation of Roe, the progress of the LGBT community and all the other society changes that have happened in that same time.
The civil rights act was 60 years ago. Roe was 51 years ago. They're saying we've had barely any progress in the last 40 or 50 years. Cops are still killing people. Racism, homophobia, and other kinds of hate are still alive and well.
Racism, homophobia, and the like are not a matter that can be solved politically. One can make all the affirmative action and equal rights rules you like but the issue at the root is society and culture based. Educational standards are being fought against in our most conservative states pushing for religious indoctrination and denying historical reality.
You have a wing that actively pushes the militarization of the police over community support and engagement, and those same people trying to turn society back to the 'traditional norms' as they existed before the civil rights movement.
Given the realities of the need to actually get votes through, just how would you suggest those things be fixed?
Then what good are politics?
Because you can put in those equal rights laws and enforce them, along with all the various other things like building roads and schools and such. To think you can just outlaw racism and such is foolish though. You would be trying to literally tread into thought police territory there.
Wow these issues are so like you know controversial to anyone with a brain...
Don't recall where I indicated any of them where controversial, care to point it out? I simply pointed that this complaint of 'no progress' is ignoring some pretty major progress over the years.
So a teacher who is blacklisted and can't eat or pay bills does nothing to the economy? This is exactly obey or starve. But you know I can tell you aren't a big picture squid.
You're really reaching for a reason for why Biden not waiting until a weekday to talk about this is such a horrible thing.
Nah I really don't care. The alternative to status quo Biden is 💯 worse.
Okay, well then since this was about how Biden didn't respond to this issue right now, I don't know what your point was.
He doesn't ever have to respond since he has governed the county to this position you dumb dumb.
Well then maybe tell that to the person who said he needs to rather than the dumb dumb who didn’t.
