Banning history class to replace it with the ten Commandments and Reagan speeches? For real?

Oh yeah this is old news. Texas is trying to mimic them too.

And it's not just history class, OK is trying to ban ALL AP courses (advanced placement courses that can qualify for college credit, something that helps reduce the cost of college to many families), because they see the more rigorous requirements of the AP courses as inferior to their homegrown standards (because the evil government common core something something my freedoms America America).

Shit like this really pisses me off because it's nothing less than willful, improper use of government funds. It's one thing to craft controversial legislation that has a reasonable chance of becoming law and survive court challenges but it has to be obvious to anyone that this is enormously far out of bounds. They are willfully wasting tax money. There should be criminal prosecution against legislators who pull this nonsense IMO.

Shit, when 94% of Oklahomans think something is stupid...
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

I think this has passed some kind of a madness limit, because I find myself literally unable to believe it.

Sometimes, I think news from the US come from another planet, but then, looking at old europe, shit isn't more happy. More realistic though...
