Oklahoma Republican Senator Rob Standridge has introduced a bill that would allow people to sue teachers if they offer an opposing view from the religious beliefs held by students.
The proposed act, named the “Students’ Religious Belief Protection Act” means parents can demand the removal of any book with perceived anti-religious content from school. Subjects like LGBT+ issues, evolution, the big bang theory and even birth control could be off the table.
Teachers could be sued a minimum of $10,000 “per incident, per individual” and the fines would be paid “from personal resources” not from school funds, from other individuals or groups. If the teacher is unable to pay, they would be fired, under the legislation.

So - conservatives are the ones who cry about schools are indoctrinating their kids (even though they aren't) but now they want to punish teachers from doing their jobs? This is flat out indoctrination in public schools with this shit.
You think it was hard finding teachers with covid - you are not going to get teachers to work in OK or any state that passes bills like this.
I swear it's like we are regressing the last several years. It's 2022 - why does it seem like we are going backwards in time?

When religious people are in charge of education, you have the Dark Ages all over again.

I am thankful that our country is becoming less religious every year. We need good separation of religion and government. I am sending this to the FFRF just in case they haven't caught wind of it.
