    This clown was elected state-wide to be superintendent of public education….so that he could run around Oklahoma holding meetings about banning books in public libraries. If you’d written a George Orwell rip-off with this plot-line 20 years ago, it would have been dismissed as hyperbolic and absurd.

      The amount of vigor and excitement these people have toward dismantling the education system for future generations of Americans should give everyone pause.

      Instead, people continue voting for this.

        Specific people are voting for this.

        Remember folks, no matter how we might agree that Dems could be MUCH better - never vote in a way that can increase Republican power. They have shown what they will do if they get it, and it harms all of us.

        Republican voting, not even once.

        Don’t forget that districts are being redrawn and gerrymandered by these same people after they win, so they can continue to win
