When conservatism goes off the rails

[Vegas Halo Fan]

This was shared by a friend in Oklahoma. 

The teacher's "liberal political agenda"? She displayed a link in her classroom for students to sign up for a card at the public library. For this, the Secretary of Education is accusing her of giving students "access to banned and pornographic material", and he wants her teaching license revoked. The prohibited material is part of a larger conservative movement to ban anything that doesn't square with their values.

I agree that this former teacher must be legally bound to NEVER be around any child of any age. Her computers must be monitored because attempts to circumvent to access children websites. Her illness is severe.

This teacher should be confined in a asylum for the criminally insane for life.

The Chinese Bat Flu forced many parents to actually look at some of the shenanigans that some teachers had been pulling on their kids for years. That may have been one positive result that came out of the pandemic.

It’s all so good.

How does one fit so much legal, technological and medical expertise into 3 sentences? We, as a species, have so much to learn from jazzb55900.

Ironically jazzb55900 would vote to ban jazz.

I also thought about that fun tidbit.

“55900” is code for “THEDEVIL.”

Look it up. It’s in a book.

Great discussion, but we already have a bustling thread for the dangerous insanity of right-wing nationalism.

And a forum of dangerously insane left wing liberalism.

The Secretary of Education in Oklahoma needs to be removed from his job for being a supporter of Nazi book burning.

Right, there's a thread for that, too. But that's not what we're discussing here.

Nice pull.  forgot about that scene.  Although, that particular quote seems to have been censored ironically.  I do remember that particular quote in the movie.

Ironic that Fox News is used as a reference about conservatism going askew.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

From an article that isn't from a company bent on furthering the conservative agenda:

Summer didn't give any specific books to students or assign any controversial books. She merely provided access, and, for that, she is about to be censured by the state. It's effectively a digital book burning and a witch hunt to punish any who step outside of the state's cultural hegemony.

So are Republicans still the party of small Government?

Only if the people being governed are straight white males.

I just feel sorry for teachers these days and no wonder they are losing them.  Talk about the real witch hunt not the one the cult believes.
