And just like that, he's resigned to become CEO of the Teacher Freedom Alliance nonprofit. Good riddance, but now he can do damage in other ways. Great.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 23 points 15 hours ago

Looks like they plan to keep their # 50 spot in education.

At the same time they're accusing universities of indoctrination, Republicans are openly implementing government indoctrination in public schools.

Everything is projection with Maga pedos.

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 20 points 18 hours ago

They accuse the other side of doing it so that when they do it their supporters are ok with it. They say

"Well, the Democrats were doing it so why shouldn't our side" when the Democrats never did shit

is this the guy who was caught masturbating in his office

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 85 points 21 hours ago

Yes. He is also the guy that bought Trump bibles for classrooms in OK.

[–] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 24 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I thought he had porn on in the background. Maybe it was both.

Clearly there was no consequences.

As despicable a person I may find him, the truth is more important. I do appreciate the clarification

[–] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago

Welp, I suppose that would explain the lack of consequences...

Some kid from Oklahoma in 2050: "You mean Charlie Kirk wasn't an angel from heaven who crashed to earth to warn us about antifa?"

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 13 points 16 hours ago

Charlie Kirk is the modern Horst Wessel; Ryan Walters is the modern Joseph Goebbels.

...why is it only ever the shitty parts of history that repeat themselves?

Oh if you think that story is wild the resolution is even crazier. After the panick following seeing boobs appear on the TV at the school board meeting and flinging wild accusations all the way up and down the chain of command it turns out what had happened was this Samsung smart TV was connected to the Internet, and when powered on automatically started playing one of the free movie channels operated by Samsung, and the movie it happened to play was the Jackie Chan movie The Protector (1985) which the US release contains at least one scene with nudity in it

So basically a lack of technical competence to spot that the TV was turned on and started auto playing a movie combined with a lack of media literacy to recognize an obvious movie scene plus a puritanical fear of pornography created a national scandal over what amounted to someone didn't change the TV channel and some boobs appeared for a moment on the meeting room TV during a private meeting exclusively attended by adults. Seriously nobody could just go "hold on can we turn that off, okay now continue..." like professionals?

Hey, the Hitler Youth chapters came earlier than I thought!

As a reminder, we hanged people like Charlie Kirk at Nuremberg for incitement to genocide and crimes against humanity.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

He's still fresh if you're looking for a Halloween decoration.

[–] hydrashok@sh.itjust.works 42 points 21 hours ago

No education about the actual students getting killed in actual schools though, that would just be woke left-wing opportunistic propaganda.

[–] alpha1beta@piefed.social 13 points 17 hours ago

JD Vance tells us not to call people Nazis....what this clown actually is out-Nazi-ing the Nazis.

[–] Texas_Hangover@lemmy.radio 5 points 15 hours ago

We aint got enough school shootings over here? The fuck is the logic on this?

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 17 points 21 hours ago

What a shithole.

[–] blackluster117@sh.itjust.works 15 points 20 hours ago

Ah yes, Hitler Youth 2: Electric Boogaloo.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 7 points 17 hours ago

Kids will be able to read about one person getting shot at a college while hiding under their desks during the next mass shooting at their high school.

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 8 points 18 hours ago

We’re at the point in history where we ARE gonna have to do some wrongs to make things right. The sooner everyone realizes that the fewer corrective wrongs will be necessary.

This is really fucked up...

America is dead. This is like giving Paris Hilton a chapter in a history book.

America is a Mafia.

American wants to make home grown terrorists because they know they profit off them. Doing it in foreign countries is out dated.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 10 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

If I had two options, a Paris Hilton chapter in school history books, or a TPUSA club mandatory at every high school, I'd seriously consider the Paris Hilton option.

[–] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Stop letting them think you only have two options!

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

Let’s put a semester on the new deal at the other end.

[–] RaoulDuke@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 19 hours ago

That’s hot.

[–] AoxoMoxoA@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

HEY ! THAT GUY WATCHES PORN AROUND CHILDREN!!!

fuck that guy

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 10 points 21 hours ago

Not a good decision at all.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 5 points 18 hours ago

See, you can't fix our society's problems by just killing one guy.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

Stop trying to make fetch happen.

[–] Caffeinated_Sloth@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

No big deal, we can simply insist that the leftist equivalent be included as well. Oh wait there isn’t an organized effort to indoctrinate children into leftism.

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 5 points 20 hours ago

I suppose if you're trying to do your part to fuel neo-feudalism then this isn't a bad idea. Undermining your own nation's youth seems a great way to sabotage your country on the world stage in a few decades.

[–] TingoTenga@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

The only my indoctrination is good indoctrination.

A "Turning Point" high school chapter would not have fared well in the GenX 80s. But it would have been entertaining.

It's sad to see what America and the teens have become. We were tougher once.
