I'm not surprised at all someone would come up with this bill. What really stands out to me though is that there's no oversight whatsoever. No process for review, validation or anything. Just "I think this book is about sex, remove it!", "OK". How is there not some type of system laid out to actually review the complaint and determine if it has any merit to it? There's nothing in this bill that allows the school to actually determine if the book meets the requirements or not. They're just required to pull it off the shelf based on a parent complaint, as valid or invalid as it might be.
What I'm getting at, is that it looks like it's written by someone that thinks they're a congress-person or a middle/high school assignment or something. It doesn't look like it was written with any thought to how it would actually work.
Hence why it is in this Thread. If it had been a well thought out bill with good oversight and detailed and thought out processes then it would have its own thread to discuss it merits and issues.
This is nothing more than a bill that says
"If I, ME, MYSELF, do NOT Like something, then I can demand it be removed and you MUST comply with my Demands or lose your job!!"
Talk about the triggered snowflake bill. It is just political nonsense, and this guy is getting PAID by us taxpayers to write this crap.
It has NO Conservative principles to support it, has zero research or information to back up why this would be a good bill for Oklahoma and is the ultimate
"Lets protect our conservative Karen's out there right to complain about ANYTHING and get their WAY"
It is the Get my way or you get fired bill.......AND opens a door for Dem & Republican activist in the state to use it to start a knowledge sharing war of what our kids can and can not read or see....talk about the ultimate Nanny state bill.
It baffles me that a GOP rep in Oklahoma wrote this bill and it baffles me that GOP party members in Oklahoma haven't been strongly speaking out against this
