RYAN WALTERS THE MAD MAGA MONK OF OK ED PROMISES MAGA INDOCTRINATION FOR EVERY KID IN OKLAHOMA

 

RYAN WALTERS THE MAD MAGA MONK OF OK ED

PROMISES MAGA INDOCTRINATION FOR EVERY KID IN OKLAHOMA

Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your hats (or MAGA caps, if you prefer) because we have a new hero in town. Meet Ryan Rasputin Walters, the Mad MAGA Monk of Oklahoma Education and Superintendent of Public Instruction. 

This guy is a real hoot. Just last Sunday, he spoke to a crowd in Tulsa and declared that PragerU content will be in every school instead of just being an option. I mean, who needs freedom of choice when you can have propaganda shoved down your throat, am I right? 

But let's take a closer look at what kind of content PragerU is peddling. According to some reports, PragerU Kids is promoting denialism of climate change, colonialism, and even slavery. Yup, you read that right. Apparently, they think that slavery wasn't all that bad and that colonialism was actually a good thing. 

Now, I don't know about you, but I think it's safe to say that this kind of thinking belongs in the garbage bin of history along with mullets and shoulder pads. But apparently, Ryan Walters thinks differently. Maybe he's been hitting the communion wine a little too hard. 

And speaking of questionable decisions, let's talk about Ben Sasse. This former senator of Nebraska and current president of the University of Florida has been making some interesting choices lately. For one thing, he's been hiring McKinsey consultants left and right. Because nothing says "I care about education" like bringing in a bunch of corporate suits to tell you how to run things. 

But that's not all. Ben has also been promoting DeSantis' "reform" agenda. You know, the one that's been causing all kinds of controversy and outrage? Yeah, that one. It's almost like he's trying to set himself up for failure. 

Look, I don't want to be too hard on these guys. After all, they're just trying to do what they think is best for their states and their country. But when your idea of "best" involves denying climate change and promoting slavery, maybe it's time to take a step back and reevaluate your priorities. 

In the meantime, I'll be over here with my popcorn, watching the show and laughing my head off. Because let's face it, sometimes the only way to deal with the madness is to laugh at it. And with guys like Ryan Walters and Ben Sasse in charge, we'll never run out of material.
