In Oklahoma, only “Regressives” Will be Allowed to Teach Their Children

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Trump’s agenda, “Project 2025,” is the opposite of progressive: it is 100 percent regressive. One by one, the dictator who is occasionally in the White House, is destroying the advances of his predecessors, both Democrats and Republicans.

Remember, it was a real Republican who actually accomplished great things. Not one of his successors can claim such a huge number of positive accomplishments. Reagan, Bush 41, Bush 43, and Trump all failed miserably.

[Richard Nixon's most significant accomplishments include ending U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, improving relations with China and the Soviet Union, and establishing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). He also oversaw the first moon landing, initiated welfare reform, and signed the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT I) with the Soviet Union.]

Today’s fake Republicans oppose the EPA. Trump’s EPA Administrator, Lee Zeldin, opposes everything the EPA stands for and is taking it apart piece by piece.

Trump opposes any association with China, while considering Russia his second, or maybe first, country.

Oklahoma has found a new way to move future generations from learning American history. They are planning to rewrite every book which contains the truth about slavery and other crimes committed by old, white men, who claimed to be members of the Party of Lincoln.

Oklahoma’s Superintendent of Public Instruction, Ryan Walters, who has been accused of engaging in immoral actions preventing him from any involvement with children, baselessly claims that “woke, elite teachers” would be harmful to Oklahoma’s children.

Trump and all state governments dominated by fake Republicans, offer irrefutable proof that America is now controlled by white men who are racists and bigots. More accurately, they are Neo-Nazis who support fascist rule.

[On Friday, the state kicked off the use of an assessment, created by the far-right propaganda machine PragerU, that will be given to teachers from “woke” states only to weed out any secret progressives. Right now, only elites from California and New York have to take the assessment, but Walters says he may expand it to eight other states.]

America is in great danger from anyone on the right side of the aisle. If the people of a nation are forced to stand still, they are in reality moving backwards. Studies done which assess the quality of life for citizens residing in developed nations place America last. Trump is making the situation far worse. His incompetent and racist party is focused on the destruction of what makes America, America.

Today, Trump is telling Ukraine President Zelenskyy that if peace is to become a reality, he must agree to relinquish part of his country to Putin.

Even worse, Trump is surrendering all 50 states of the United States to America’s greatest enemy.
