In another attempt to get the attention of the president, Ryan Walters slipped a revision into the proposed Social Studies Standards. The revision didn’t go through the usual process. It wasn’t posted, and reference to the changes weren’t included in the packets given to the Board of Education members ahead of the Feb. 27 meeting.
Why all the secretiveness?
Walters decided that students should learn not only teachings from the Bible, but they should be able to “identify discrepancies in 2020 election results.” The lesson even calls into question the “unforeseen record number of voters.” His list of so-called discrepancies included every item on the president’s play list.
Standards are subject to legislative review, and they “ … shall not be implemented by the State Board of Education until the legislative review process is completed … ” This includes amending and approving or disapproving “in whole or in part.”
“If the Legislature fails to adopt a joint resolution within 30 legislative days following submission of the standards, the standards shall be deemed approved.”
Time is ticking on the Lie Bomb. Let’s make sure our legislators know how we feel about Walter’s deceit and about the danger of brainwashing students with lies.
By the way, there is no mention in the standards about the number of judges who ruled against the president’s legal cases as he tried to overturn the election.
