Republicans have a lot of grifts going. Here in Oklahoma a teacher who was well liked by students and colleagues got himself elected to be the state superintendent of schools and immediately transformed into a far right culture war. He banned books, demonized his former colleagues as communists and groomers, and went after trans kids. He hired an out of state publicist to get his every stunt profiled in the Times and the Post. His most recent has been an attempt to institute Bible classes and wants to spend six million dollars on Trump’s Bibles. This is part egregious because when teachers staged a walkout in 2019, one of the big issues was a lack of textbooks in rural schools. He literally has not been doing his job at all
Yeah, I've head of this creep. Another reason to stay well away from Okielahoma, the state founded by Southern white people too stupid to steal the land from the Indians on their own, so they had the government do it for them and have been complaining about the gub-mint ever since.
Sadly so. I’m a third generation secular liberal family. We’re all pretty much refuse who got the land they deemed so worthless that the tribes could have it. It used to be a lot better. Norman in the 70s was a funky hippie town and the county went heavily for McGovern. It’s been downhill since Reagan and reality is that the oil companies have kept it backward so businesses with countervailing interests are kept out. They don’t need an educated workforce. As sad as it is, Texas and Missouri are considerably scarier. We’re kind of indolent.

Keep your eye on him--he has an agenda and I'm betting it involves his ego and running for a higher office.
He is expected to run for governor, but I think he’s even alienated a lot of Republicans.
