Oklahoma State Senator Rob Standridge, he's jumping on this discriminatory,
anti education train that much of the Republican Party has been pushing lately.
And except this time he's pushing a punitive bill at some of the most vicious
people in America.
Teachers, let's jump right into this a little bit,
you guys to see some details of how he's attacking teachers further.
So from the independent,
the proposed act named the students religious belief protections act.
It means parents can demand the removal of any book with perceived anti religious
content from schools, subjects like LGBT plus issues of evolution,
the big bang theory and even birth control could be off the table.
Now, teachers could be sued, a minimum of $10,000 per incident per individual.
And the fines will be paid from personal resources.
Again from teachers, not from school funds from other individuals or groups.
If the teacher is unable to pay, they would be fired under this legislation.
And also referring to the act as quote, the necessary for
the preservation of the public peace if passed,
the law will take effect immediately is what this bill states.
Now, Rob Standridge specifically was talking about things and
he put out a statement about reasons why he's proposing this ridiculous bill.
Our education system is not the place to teach moral lessons that should instead be
left up to parents and families.
Unfortunately however, more and
more schools are trying to indoctrinate students by exposing them to gender,
sexual and racial identities, curriculums and courses.
My bills would ensure that these types of lessons stay at home and
out of the classroom, that's what he said in his statement.
Also parents believing a book violates the bill,
they may demand that school officials remove it within 30 days.
And if the book is not removed during that time, the school employee
tasked with getting rid of it will be terminated subject to due process and
prohibited from working another school for at least two years.
Now before we open this up again, who is that one official?
They're saying this school official that's tasked with getting rid of that book and
if he doesn't do it.
There's a lot of generic things within this bill that make me kind of wonder
maybe he's just trying to speak to certain people.
Maybe certain voters, maybe certain people that helped fund him or
him trying to get back into office again with this very unserious bill,
but it does say religious freedom bill, it doesn't say anything about which religion.
So I wonder if he thinks it's these kind of religious beliefs that he's looking to
protect.
Let's look at some of these.
There's the Shahada, which is the declaration of faith,
is to bear witness or testify that there is no God except one God,
Allah and Mohammad and is his prophet or messenger.
>> If you want, I could say that, I can say it in Arabic.
[FOREIGN] Okay.
>> And you should be able to go and
complain about any teacher that's teaching anything against that.
>> Hey, if you don't say that in science class, you're gonna be fired.
>> Okay. >> Maybe it's a lot,
sorry if I'm mispronouncing these things.
It's five daily prayers that are performed at dawn, noon, mid afternoon,
sunset and night.
The prayers are offered an Arabic language and facing the direction of Mecca.
Maybe he's looking to protect that, do you think so?
>> Mohammed and Abdullah for sure.
>> [LAUGH].
>> Okay.
So obviously the point that JR is getting at is of course he means Christianity and
of course that is establishing a religion,
which is what the constitution strictly forbids.
They should read it every once in a while,
they should know what this country's about, but they don't.
Yeah, so this republican senator in Oklahoma is deeply an American,
he hates the idea of America.
We do not establish a religion in America, whether it's Islam or
Christianity or any other religion.
It's literally against the law and against our constitution.
So when he says, I don't want anybody teaching moral lessons and
this is by the way, if you teach science, I'm gonna fire you.
>> Maybe we should take him literally, I mean, maybe we should see how that plays
out because if you want to talk about Christianity.
I mean the Christian Bible Exodus 35.2,
whoever does any work on the sabbath is to be put to death.
So anybody who's selling books about say football, let's stone them to death.
Or what about we want to go new testament Matthew 5-40 to give to those who ask and
don't refuse those who wish to borrow from you.
So I'm gonna ask this lawmaker in Oklahoma right now,
to send me $100,000 because to do otherwise would be against religion.
>> Yeah, a good point, you're also supposed to not touch the skin
of a pig and football is literally pigskin or certainly some are.
So I guess there goes all the Oklahoma suiters, okay.
And they play on Saturday, that's a double whammy, are you kidding me?
I don't know, I know two sooners, but
[LAUGH] I'm here all week whether you like it or not.
Alright look, the other hilarious part of this of course is this comes
from the Republican party that is against cancel culture.
And he's like now if you disagree with my religion, you shall be fired and
the person who doesn't fire you instantly should also be fired,
you're all canceled, were against cancel culture, are you?
>> Yeah and by the way, these are teachers administrators,
whoever it is that they're targeting here.
Again in schools, most likely public schools because private schools,
whatever they're teaching, if people want to run up and be upset about it,
they can pull their kids out and then they lose that maybe that tuition money.
But generally, these are public schools that they're targeting.
And I want you to think about, he knows that many of these teachers won't have
the money to come up with $10,000 because one parent came in and said,
I can't believe you taught my child something.
So the idea is to then get rid of them, then who replaces them,
this is part of the system to make sure that you have either probably first off.
You'd have a hard time replacing them because teachers don't get paid enough and
there's already a shortage of teachers for partially for that reason already and
then we also have the pandemic still go on going.
But with things like that, they're like, I know what we can start doing,
maybe replace teachers with our kinds of teachers.
They're trying to replace school boards already with their kind of parents.
So they're thinking, let me put in the teachers that will teach this and
these kinds of things that will indoctrinate my children and
yours regardless of what you believe.
>> Yeah, that's where we are, look, and it's Orwellian, it's fascist,
it's everything you can imagine.
So if we look, the Republican Party started a war on history,
when they said, don't teach critical race theory.
Okay, fine, mission accomplished, almost no one teaches it throughout the country
at the public school level and at high school and junior high, etc.
So they said, yeah, but what we really meant is don't teach racism.
And that's what we thought you meant.
Okay but there was racism I mean they're certainly racism today.
But even if you thought that was a dispute in history,
are you saying slavery wasn't racist?
Are you saying Jim Crow wasn't racist?
Are you saying Lynchings wasn't racist?
You'd have to be nuts to say that, they're like no don't teach it,
don't touch teach it, that's their war on history.
Now this is war on science, so look the LGBTQ stuff, you can say yeah I know
republicans hate gay people and but it's okay because that's their faith.
Is that despise people for who they are,
I don't think that's Christianity by the way.
I don't think Jesus thought that was Christianity.
But republican have a different version of Christianity filled to the room with fear
and hatred, right?
And so okay, but that's not all, first of all let's acknowledge
that then later though, they're like no no gay people should vote for us.
So dem exit you know yeah, okay people are voting for
us because why you despise them, it's not unclear right?
But even if you put that aside which you shouldn't,
he's saying don't teach evolution and
birth control is possibly under, is in danger here.
That's a war on health and big bang, so don't teach science.
It's a war on science, which at this point probably no one's surprised
by I mean on during Covid they declared a war on science.
Science, 99% of the scientists suck, so do 99% of the doctors,
I saw a dude on Facebook and I had a podcast too, I hate science.
Look, if you want to be in the dumb party, that's your call but
science isn't some, it isn't a competitor religion.
Religion is about faith and what you believe in spiritually,
science is about facts, that's all it is.
It's trying to figure out what is true and what is not true.
Here are the collection of things that we have realized our true.
When you add two and two equals four, you could be Muslim or Christian or Jewish,
it still equals four.
Can I teach that it equals four?
No, don't do it, my version of Jesus hated four, okay, I don't want you to teach it.
So yeah, that I hate to tell you, but that is the party of dumb and
I don't want it and it's insane and in this case it's unconstitutional.
Yes, we should teach actual science whether you like it or not,
they are actually facts.
And if you think evolution is not a fact, go get an education,
you are 100% wrong and you're probably in a cult, that's not what they want.
