An Oklahoma GOPer wants to ban biology in schools. What's wrong with this picture?

 In an effort to retain the support of evangelical Christians, GOPers are proposing new legislation that makes no sense.

Take, for example, Rob Standridge, a GOPer state senator in Oklahoma, who wants to ban, basically, biology in his state's schools, threatening to fine and/or fire teachers if they don't comply.

SAY WHAT??

GOPers are acting butt-hurt because the LGBTQ+ community is getting too much attention. Banning biology from being taught would prevent future generations of high schoolers from learning about gender identity, preferences, et al. They might as well ban sex education, too, if they haven't already done that.

Standridge is also proposing legislation to ban certain books (here we go again) about sexual topics.

Farron Cousins explains:


GOPers think they know what's best for today's kids. No, they don't. They won't allow education to do what it's supposed to do, threatening to fine teachers $10,000 per "violation", then firing them and banning them from finding work in the state for five years. That is wrong.

At this rate, all the southern states will be in the dark ages with all of this irresponsible legislation. We solicited a comment from a concerned citizen:


My sentiment exactly. It's 2022, not 1952. Get with the program, Standridge!!
