Oklahoma state superintendent who ordered schools to teach the Bible resigns to lead anti-teachers union group

The "indoctrination" that the fascists are worried about is actually the deprogramming of the indoctrination to fear, hate and self-loathing that they have gotten at home and in their "churches".

Projection
- It always is.
Very well put. I will remember this if I ever see my brother again.

Oklahoma state superintendent who ordered schools to teach the Bible resigns

Good

to lead anti-teachers union group

What the fuck? Did a teacher sleep with this guy's wife or something?

No, actual real world educations makes it unlikely that you will adopt the remarkably ignorant positions that American Christian Nazis require.
- And he took that personally.

Last summer, a sheriff's office investigated an alleged incident at a state Board of Education meeting in which board members reported they saw images of naked women on a television screen in Walters' office, according to The Oklahoman. Walters called the board members' accounts "desperate lies." An Oklahoma County prosecutor declined to file criminal charges earlier this month.

Yet another "Christian" GOP hypocrite and since hypocrites don't get into Heaven, this is how you know they don’t actually believe in their own religion.

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. "

The TV thing has been resolved:
But the investigators confirmed that the complaint was true; a TV in the office did in fact show the images in question, including the "chiropractic table." The naked women did not come from anyone's secret stash of pornography, however; they came from Jackie Chan's 1985 film The Protector.
But why was The Protector showing on a TV in a state office building at all? Investigators came to find out that the Samsung smart TV in question—recently installed in the office—had been set up in such a way that it defaulted to showing Samsung TV Plus Channel 1204, the "Movie Hub Action." (You can see Samsung's full list of TV Plus streaming channels here.) And at the time of the state board meeting, Movie Hub Action was streaming The Protector. How and why the TV was turned on or switched to this streaming channel isn't clear, but the whole thing appears to be an absolutely bizarre accident.
- So just a cascade of incompetence instead. How reassuring.
- Thanks for the update.
  He's still a hypocrite, however.
- If this is the case then why'd he claim that it was a "desperate lie" that a nude woman appeared on his TV? This seems fishy. Ive had multiple Samsung TVs over the years and none of them have ever defaulted to random channel 1204 whenever the TV was turned on.
- I choose to believe that the superintendent in question was showing pornography to minors.
  He was grooming them as part of their indoctrination into the fundamentalist Christian sect that he founded.
  His ultimate goal is to create a harem of preteen girls who will worship him as a living God, and clean houses on the side, giving him all the proceeds.
  Now, you may ask me for evidence to back up those claims, and my response is...Nah, that shit don't matter anymore.

Not at all surprising.

For anyone here unaware, individual school superintendents all over the nation are more often than not hostile to the teachers that they manage. It's pretty much par for the course. They are almost always MBAs with zero education background or training, generally hired into the position by anti-education school board members who they are personal friends of. Their only real training is in cost-cutting. They do not understand or appreciate the idea that public services don't make money.

The pipeline goes: Candidate board members use money and influence to rile up conservative voters to get them onto school board -> Once on the school board they hire their MBA friend to the superintendent role -> school board member then continues to use bully pulpit to scare away incumbent challenges and demonize the district's most valuable teachers. Very often there is also an element of retired cops in the PTA lubricating the whole process. That's what a lot of suburban cops do after they start collecting their pensions, part-time volunteer teacher harassment.

This is like, the CORE Moms for Liberty playbook, and the main reason why it is so incredibly crucial to vote in your local school elections. It's where democracy starts, it's where individual votes have the most outsized effect on outcomes. So long as the community can be made aware of the issue and motivated to go to the polling place, the process can always be stopped. But somebody in the community needs to be doing that motivation. Why not you? They are SO WEAK, if only you just push back.
