Rob Standridge, a Republican state senator, introduced a bill that would allow people to sue teachers for taking an anti-religious perspectiveOklahoma state Sen. Rob Standridge, a Republican, has introduced a bill that would allow people to sue teachers if they offer an opposing view toward religious beliefs held by students.
In the Students Religious Belief Protection Act, teachers can be fined a minimum of $10,000 per incident, per individual, and the fines have to be paid from personal resources. If the teacher cant pay the fine, they would be fired under this act, according to The Independent.
Over a month ago, Standridge introduced a bill to ban books that reference identity, sex and gender from public school libraries, according to The Hill.

(11,236 posts)It's not about religion, gays, CRT or banning books, it's about money. More specifically, the local property taxes being levied to pay for public schools, and having to educate "other people's" children. These folks really just want to bring back segregated schools and unequal funding.

(16,254 posts)as my family members are talking about a lot of teachers taking early retirement or getting out of teaching altogether. At the present time, they can hardly get substitute teachers to step up to the plate and more and more teachers are taking personal time/sick leave because of the pressure.
While Repukes are sitting on their butts coming up with all these great ideas to protect their children from life's challenges, teachers are working nights and weekends to keep up with all the incredible workload.
It seems Repukes just can't learn from history, perhaps because they always try to hide/cover the bad history up so they don't have to be reminded how ugly it can get. Shame on them.
