Oklahoma tries to ban APUSH (& possibly others AP classes)

[RFayette 🇻🇦]

I'm surprised they haven't voted to ban AP Biology, given that it teaches evolution & the Earth being billions of years old.

Ironically, many Oklahomans in academically-competitive schools would breathe a sigh of relief with this ruling.  APUSH, while an easy exam, is a very difficult course.

EDIT:  The Mercatus index giving Oklahoma #5 in freedom seems heavily biased toward economic issues.

Why don't they just pass a law authorizing Sunday school only?

If it weren't for Supreme Court rulings about separation of church and state, Oklahoma would probably be teaching science based on the KJV and Ken Ham/Kent Hovind young-Earth creationist lectures.

What a problem.......

The Okies really respect those rulings too. That's why they voted to ban Sharia Law 70%-30%

Yeah, Oklahoma has joke politics.  All I was saying was, without the Court putting a little pressure to retain sanity, the state would go utterly off the deep end, likely teaching things like this or perhaps even this even in traditional public schools.
