Trump Pushes White Nationalist Agenda Across Multiple Fronts

In another of his performative flourishes, Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters (R) is imposing a new requirement on teachers from New York and California applying to work in his state. They must pass a 50-question test developed by … wait for it … Prager University.

In response to an overwhelming influx of teachers from California and New York to… Oklahoma?

Can we call it “White Supremacist” instead of “White Nationalist?”

They don’t want supremacy, they want the entire country made in their image. They want it all

From the Google.

Oklahoma is experiencing a significant teacher shortage, particularly in core subject areas like math, science, and special education, but it’s now affecting most subject areas. A key factor contributing to the shortage is teacher retention, with many certified teachers choosing not to teach. Oklahoma is actively working on solutions, including financial incentives and programs to attract and retain educators.

Here’s a more detailed look:

Extent of the Shortage:

• Oklahoma had a record 1,019 teacher vacancies at the start of the 2022-2023 school year.

• A 2024 study ranked Oklahoma 13th in the nation for teacher shortages.

• The shortage is impacting various subjects beyond the traditional areas of concern (math, science, special education).

• Many certified teachers are choosing not to teach, indicating a retention problem.

• There’s a high rate of new teachers leaving the profession after their first year (35% leave their school, 29% their district, and 17% leave the Oklahoma public school system altogether).

An America for White Americans

“I usually cast President Trump’s anti-immigrant mass deportation agenda as a rule of law story. But it is of course so much more than that. It is fundamentally a story about racism, xenophobia, and othering. It’s about preying on our fears, differences, and prejudices to create a villainous foe whom he can easily vanquish in repeated set-pieces.”

Congrats to you, 77M Trump voters, your cans will flow free, like an unstoppable anal geyser.

Stopped clocks and all but the newer gas cans are awful. A god awful theoretically locking lid that requires a third hand to operate cleanly. I almost always end up taking the spout off and just using a funnel. They are a terrible change and result in 100x more gas being spilled than the old ones.

Get off my lawn!!!

Construction will start next month, probably with no review. He’ll just do it and no one will stop him. Alibaba will be depleted of gold-tone tchotchkes to festoon every square centimeter of space.

A football field, including the end zones, measures over 57,000 square feet. President Trump’s proposed state ballroom would be 90,000 square feet.

Is there any conceivable justification for having a room more than a third larger than the size of a football field to host state dinners?

You can. White Nationalist captures the autocratic Christian Nationalist aspect of these groups. They have a pseudo-religious belief in their superiority and they want institute this policy with a theocratic Federal level regime under the “christian” banner.

The other day during President Zelenskyy’s visit there was some bleached blonde walking around directing things and I wondered who she was. Yep she’s an ex-Fox person too.

Remember Tena? I used to joke with her that FOX had given me a phobia about attractive blonde haired women. It hasn’t gotten any better.

Have they tried the simple solution of allowing teachers to actually teach the core subject matter to their students?

The simple fact that a teacher from NY or CA is looking for work in Oklahoma should be disqualify him/her from teaching anywhere. Starting pay for teachers in OK is like 40K, and anyone wanting to go there is either crazy or a pervert that can’t find work anywhewre else.

This is the guy that was that wanted to mandate a Trump bible in every classroom and got caught during a meeting with nude women visible on his computer monitor.

“Thank God it was women!” said the Oklahoma GOP.
