Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Why the heck is Arizona so low!?
I have never once regretted leaving Oklahoma. The chief exports of that state are obesity and alcoholism. This is just them trying to get noticed by senpai, somebody wants a position in the administration.
I want to teach the children of Oklahoma about the sorts of hair styles that Nazi men in the 40s preferred.
The left is all fake news and propaganda
And the right, as per usual, is projecting all its own sins
Texas: does something extra stupid and fascist.
Oklahoma: "Hold my three point two!"
Florida: When can I join you guys?
Oklahoma has had high point beer and wine in convenience stores for a while now.
Of course they do they are a MAGAt state. Liars and traitors the majority of them.
“I love the poorly educated.”
Donald Trump
Thats how it started in 1930 too
I wonder what their Social Studies unit on "Indian Territory" looks like.
Fuck Oklahoma.
I briefly read through the "curriculum" or whatever they want to call it. There is so, so, so much stupid and wrong shit with it.
Internet says no
Add to list of reasons why the government shouldn't have complete control over education
Call this asshole on the phone and tell him he's an asshole.
Do they? Does he really want this?
I feel like the dust bowl emptied Oklahoma of everyone with a better than room temperature IQ.
They could use A1 to do it. They love them their A1 in that state.
