Oklahoma students will be required to learn about 2020 election fraud conspiracy theories as part of a new curriculum developed by the state's controversial superintendent, Ryan Walters[…]
High school students will be taught to "identify discrepancies in 2020 elections results by looking at graphs and other information, including the sudden halting of ballot-counting in select cities[…], the security risks of mail-in balloting, sudden batch dumps, an unforeseen record number of voters, and the unprecedented contradiction of 'bellwether county' trends"

While it's not necessarily unreasonable to want students to learn about the dispute over the 2020 election, the standards' framing of the controversy[…]and Walters' comments about it make it clear that teachers are meant to shed doubt on the veracity of the election[…]

"We want students to think for themselves, not be spoon-fed left wing propaganda," Walters said in a statement to The Washington Post in March. "Students deserve to examine every aspect of our elections, including the legitimate concerns raised by millions of Americans in 2020"

The standards also contain passages directing teachers to ensure that students can "identify the source of the COVID-19 pandemic from a Chinese lab," and "explain the effects of the Trump tax cuts, child tax credit, border enforcement efforts"

The standards quickly sparked controversy when they were first published in February, especially when Walters admitted he added the 2020 election fraud section after the release of an earlier version for public comment. After the state Senate defeated an effort from a Republican lawmaker to stop the election denial section of the standards from being implemented, Walters announced on April 29 that the state would move forward with "the most unapologetically conservative, pro-America social studies standards in the nation"

The media and govt have really squeezed this COVID thing for all it had to give. Between the mass panic and sheep-like behavior they clearly demonstrated their power over the weak.

I feel like this will be a turning point people look back on. What a corrupt govt/media can do when they know they can control people like puppets (or desire it as much as possible). People will look back at the flip flops, the incorrect guidance, the public shamings, the panic, the attempt (hopefully failed) to divide society on a virus with a <1% fatality rate that is mostly an issue for those who are very sick already and have multiple comorbidities, that live 1 medical condition away from deaths door all time.

And that they almost never….seriously almost never…said to the public: "you know the best thing for you would be to lose some weight, exercise daily, get healthy amounts of vit C, vit D, and really all vitamins, eat better, and take care of yourself/your health conditions". But they didnt do that. They said "stay inside, lockdown, wear a mask, govt will send you a relief check…stay at home order Uber eats."

Its almost like they really didnt want to help people but rather make sure they were good lazy little cattle. Delicious, Kobe beef.

"And that is the whole point of SPLC. To direct the violent works of their fellow travelers. Much in the same way that groups like the Muslim Brotherhood are connected to terror organizations , it do not engage in such activities themselves."

"Discredited by whom? LGBT activists and their allies? The SPLC? Reading your posts, you sound like a propagandist. Which is typical of of a progressive. You believe in 'diversity', as long as it's a diversity of your ideas. Anything else is 'discredited', or 'hate soeech'.

Sorry, you're selling, but we're not buying."

"There is nothing credible about a far left fringe organization like the SPLC."

"The SPLC attempts to shut down any speech with which they disagree. An effort with which you agree. Typical progressive."

"It won't matter soon. There will be a cure for homosexuality within twenty years."

"Lots of progtarded twisted reasons to infringe on our rights."

"More of your hateful leftist lies. You're just another progressive propagandist."

"Like pretty much everything you've had to say. You're clearly a totalitarian at heart. I have no doubt you would force soeech codes based on your sensibilities on this country if you could. Criminalizing even the slightest criticism of homosexuality."

"SPLC is definitely an anti first amendment hate group."

"You're calling Stossel and asshole? Only a piece of shit would do that."

"If you want to see a bigot, you need only turn to your nearest mirror"

Today, in 2011, the U.S.A. is totally dominated by Jews. Virtually every newspaper or magazine is owned by Jews. Their self-serving propaganda constantly fills the TV screen. The Federal government and Federal Reserve is totally under Jewish control. US military forces are the pawn of Israel. The banks, the markets are theirs. They systematically denigrate our Founding Fathers and our heritage and our Constitution.
The Jews are destroyers. They are also the Anti-Christ that the bible speaks of. They will destroy any and all things to get their way. They are ruthless, vile, filthy scum that serves their father, the devil. To befriend a Jew, is to sign your deathwarrent. The filthy Jew will trick you and lead you to your own destruction.
Thank you Rand Paul for standing up to this evil nation.
