Once again, Oklahoma lawmakers jump at the opportunity to wipe their collective asses with education. This time they have banned Advance Placement US History classes because it teaches students “what is bad about America".
Seriously?
The Wicked Bitch of the West Sally Kern thinks ALL advanced placement classes should be banned. "construed as an attempt to impose a national curriculum on American schools.”
Somebody has to educate Oklahoma's youth and, apparently, it certainly isn't going to be the government. I suppose the lawmakers are worried that students might become smarter than they are. Just about anybody outside the Oklahoma Legislature already is.
