Oklahoma Schools Embrace Turning Point USA

I was disappointed to learn that every public high school in Oklahoma will soon have a Turning Point USA chapter in it, to “counter the woke indoctrination.”

Here’s a data point that may explain Oklahoma’s extreme approach to education: The state ranks 50th out of 51 locations (including Washington, D.C.) for overall public education quality and safety. The study considered factors like reading and math test scores, median ACT and SAT scores, dropout rates, and school safety, placing Oklahoma in the bottom 10 for many of these categories.

Maybe they attribute their humiliating position to wokeness in the American education system:

Teaching: alternative political and economic systems, facts about slavery, the butchering of native Americans, and other atrocities

Not Teaching: creationism as science, forced school prayer, white supremacy and female inferiority, etc.

In any case, it’s senseless to get upset about stories like these. The fact that these people are uneducated doesn’t seem to bother them.  Why should it annoy the rest of us?
