I'm not sure where this should go... it's on Yahoo News... is that ok?

Here's the link: https://www.yahoo.com/news/videos/schools-oklahoma-being-warned-risk-093843050.html

Header: Schools in Oklahoma are being warned they risk “violating the law” if they don’t establish a Turning Point USA chapter on campus.

A leading MAGA education official has announced plans to establish chapters of Turning Point USA, the conservative organization founded by slain MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk, in every high school across his state. Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters unveiled the proposal on Tuesday and warned schools would be punished if they refused to take part. “For far too long, we have seen radical leftists with the teachers union dominate classrooms and push woke indoctrination on our kids,” Walters said in a video posted to social media.

Nothing more on it as of now. I honestly don't doubt this, and wouldn't be surprised to see the same migrate up here to KS. I just really want to see TOS or one of the other Satanist churches go wild with this. TPUSA can best be described as an afterschool offer, just like bible classes and crafts classes. We have to really start pushing back against this crap and do it fast and hard.

Yahoo re-publishes stories for other media outlets. They always tell you the originator at the top.

sharing, caring, and empathy for others. THOSE are now curse words today. Meanwhile, they kill the planet because why the frack not? Their 2nd coming christ is just gonna come back and blow it all away before he sets up a whole new earth just for their enjoyment. SMDH. The complete lack of rationality and reason just blows my mind. I've been a witch for over 40 years, and even I look on everything I take comfort in and enjoy spiritually with a reasoned eye and another towards science. It just blows my mind that all it took was the time from when I was in middle school to now for these people to have forgotten they even have brains they could use and develop. And those that DO have enough brains to make a good "living" in this late state capitalism? They really floor me!
