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

Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters announced Wednesday that he would step down from his role overseeing the state's schools to lead the conservative group Teacher Freedom Alliance, saying, "We're going to destroy the teachers unions."The announcement from Walters, a conservative Republican who pushed to incorporate teaching about the Bible into public school classrooms, caps off a contentious tenure marked by a willingness to embrace culture war issues."We have seen the teachers unions use money and power to corrupt our schools, to undermine our schools," Walters said on the show "Fox News @ Night" on Wednesday.

These supporters have been grifted and lied to by Republicans and their media for decades. They were never the brightest bulbs in the first place! These are the types of voters the GOP has been cultivating with their anti-science and anti-education policies, messaging and their sabotaging of public education through underfunding and voucher programs. A dumb electorate is easier to lie to and snowjob and that's what the GOP and their obscenely wealthy donors want!

"Supporters that came out for Donald Trump as he was arraigned in Miami, Florida on Tuesday were interviewed by the comedy group "The Good Liars." They had a lot of questions about the basic facts of the case that many MAGA loyalists didn't know.

One of the videos shows a Trump supporter claiming that the former president declassified everything. When told that Trump was on audio saying he didn't, the supporter refused to believe it.

A loyal Trump supporter told the "Good Liars" that he doesn't believe for a second Trump meant to steal the documents and that he probably didn't know the laws. He didn't explain why Trump refused to give the documents back.

Another video with Davram Stiefler showed a Trump supporter asking about the "Lock her up" chants and a man said Hillary Clinton was never investigated. He was told that the FBI announced the investigation 11 days before the election, and they had no idea.

What became clear to Jason Selvig is that none of the people were getting their news from actual news sources, and they were parroting the messages that Donald Trump has given. Instead of excuses, Trump has deployed the "what about" questions about Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.

At one point, a woman told Stiefler that Fox News never had to pay any money for lying to their viewers. He kept trying to tell her that Fox admitted to lying to them, and they paid a ton of money because of it. She refused to believe it.

Another woman refused to believe that Donald Trump would keep boxes of documents in his bathroom. She claimed that the bathroom with two chandeliers looked "like Joe Biden's bathroom." She maintained that Trump would never be so "messy." Selvig explained to her that the photos were in the indictment. They were in the court documents.

The Good Liars are known for going to many events. "The Daily Show's" Jordan Klepper was also known for doing the same kind of interviews, but due to the writer's strike, the show has been off the air."

Article: Sen. Bernie Sanders proposes guaranteed minimum teacher salary of $60,000 nationwide

"The Pay Teachers Act aims to address staffing shortages while recruiting and retaining teachers — many of whom are historically underpaid."

It's a start at least! Paying teachers starvation wages dissuades many who would like to contribute to our society in this very important way, shows how important we think it is and is right in line with Republicans hatred of public education and desire for a more stupid, under informed electorate that can be stuffed full of propaganda more easily.

@YourNeighbor57 man the school administration must be extremely fragile. Who knew you could scare a bunch of conservatives with history? All this time I have been using math and science. It is time to up my game. #gophateseducation
What do some people find so scary about history? FACTS! Do society a favor this weekend and pick up a history book and start reading it. #gophateseducation
@CriticalCupcake the only thing preventing the local GOP from burning my local library to the ground is that is too cold outside. Our local High School has avoided the problem by no longer having a library. Florida is in the news, but this is happening in every small town in the United States. Face it the GOP fears literature, critical thinking, problem-solving, science, etc. An informed-thinking electorate is their Boogie Man. #gophateseducation
Just a reminder to read the history and science books at your local library before they disappear. #gophateseducation
