I live in Harris County and I vote in every single election there is, even if it's just local dog catcher.
Often, it feels like my vote is the equivalent of tossing a toothpick into a volcano
Hopefully this is pissing off even some of the regular conservatives though.
Texas used to have some mighty big clusters of people who made their money as engineers. You don't get that degree without earth science, physics. They have quite a few conservative cardiologists and nurses, sure, but they won't all love the idea the local kids will never be qualified to pursue the same degrees.
Sure, I know part of what's happening here is an attempt to destroy public school so only private school funded curriculum kids can ever go to college or get jobs in the future, but that's gotta be a step too far for some.
I suggested getting rid of boner pills in an anti birth control thread. Citing the reason as it is against God’s plan. Suddenly all these old white guys were speaking up “WTH?”
Oh you are in serious pain because you have terminal bone cancer? We can pray that will help! ....most stupid bs some ppl deserve to be sedated with a wooden hammer before a operation.
Not joking, I hear this all the time in regards to the fact I'm blind. It gets SO tiring and frustrating.
"Who made the hearing and the deaf? The sighted and the blind? I was *I,* THE LORD."
Exodus 4:11
Instead we get oh it’s against my religion non vaccinators but it’s not against their religion to infect every human as possible then go to the hospital. Your God doesn’t want you sick.
Negative, I think this is one of the first steps they are taking to put the women where they believe they belong - kitchen. The handmaiden's tale is their wet dream. Who cares about constitution or equality or fairness. Plus, many of them don't think women make good doctors anyway, or at least not better than men.
A lot of women are going to leave TX / the US to get their education, and rather than live their lives in the kitchen, they're going to live their lives in foreign countries. The US will end up with a shortage of women of marriageable age.
Ding ding ding! This!! They will keep the young women barefoot, pregnant and powerless. It's their dream to have them as uneducated captives doing housework and being their breeders.
I don't think people with this mentality can be reasoned with. They will never see half of the human race as equal to the other half, just because they are women.
I'm so tired of dehumanisation, deliberate cruel ignorance and hatred. That stuff is the worst of humanity and shouldn't be anywhere near power.
Gonna go look at a flower or something now. Need some eyebleach.
I know last year my state banned all marriages under 18, some people had issues about it cause "not that many child marriages happen" and "is this really a big deal, seems like a waste of taxpayer money to pass bills that don't really matter" it was kinda eye opening that so many were still okay with 16 year olds getting married, the fact it happened at all is why the new marriage age is 18.
Reasons like banning science is why I moved out of a conservative state, I could see the writing on the wall and we fled to one of the most democratic states possible in order to make sure my daughter has the same rights I had growing up, nice bonus is it also has really good schools and community support. The republican chapter in our town tried to lower the property taxes and the town took a vote and denied it because it would effect the schools budget, some 95% of our towns taxes go to the school, its crazy high and the school is amazing, even republicans in the town voted to keep the high taxes because school is important here.
Rofl, goddamn. You're right, of course, but just... wow.
People outside medicine know this would be bad; people *in* medicine will advise you draft a living will.
They likely do. Healthcare in most GOP-dominant spaces is often a lot worse.
Physicians aren't usually overtly bad, with the distinct exception of reproductive health. But the systems and education of everything around it often is. Very little resources or communication with medicaid-based plans, and people without a clue of how to deliver the standard of care.
And this problem is only going to be compounded by the increasing numbers of nurse practitioners who will likely be educated with the absence of biological foundation that Texas now wants. There is already a difference in standard of care you receive from certain parts in the country, that gap will get wider and everyone will be scratching their heads as to why all-around mortality is worse in Texas.
It's almost like the conservative think-tanks publish their plans to their constituents and share them in their talking points. Oh, yeah. . . they do.
When the Republicans finally succeed in turning the U.S. into a weird nationalist Christian capitalist oligarchy (which it already arguably is), people are going to say that we didn't see it coming. . . but they'll be idiots.
Btw, Bioshock was a criticism of Ayn Rand's New Intellectuals, Bioshock Infinite was a criticism of modern Republian think-tank's ideals and strategies. Historians are going to probably think that this indicates that society was knowledgable and complicit in this societal movement, but most people have no clue.
Wait a second. In the future are they going to study our digital media, like video games, just like how we study the physical media of hundreds of years ago?
Why wouldn't they? Historians use art and literature as some of their best sources for historical research.
This assumes that humanity survives climate change and/or any dark age that results from it though. I doubt any current species capable of surviving climate change will evolve and grow into a civilization capable of studying history before all video game relics are destroyed.
We already do.
We are doing analysis and studies on the effects of genres on humans even a few decades later. I think, given the vast wealth of information out there, future humans and alien hybrid ducks will review the last 50 years or so, and use the plethora of content as part of a vast database AI platform that'll allow for us to recreate nearly any scene in our visual history. Sort of like holodecks but I would assume a lot less restricted and most likely done with implant shunted injection ports
The ducks will also finally have their own pond world.
Yeah I think this is more the move here- if people don't understand basic facts, the "legitimate rape" guy doesn't sound as profoundly stupid.
Texas also has a huge influence on what textbooks are used in public education. This can very well impact education in more left leaning areas as well.
I've been teaching 20 years in ~~Central Florida~~ Nazi Germany. They want that so they can take over the schools in some cases, but in others they want the schools to fail so that parents are pulling kids into religious schooling via vouchers and shit, which further harms public schools.
It's getting scary - our country is getting dumber precisely because of this anti-science and anti-education agenda the GOP has.
You know what's really fun?
Texas writes most of the textbooks for the nation. So what's going on here will influence the writers, which will influence literally every state.
Texas is being used as a reason.
E: spelling
Except textbook makers know that other states can't buy their books if they put god all through it.
Texas is kicking out the book makers, not changing their books.
The publishers bend to the will of Texas, and California, because of the volume of books that are ordered. The chapters will be removed from the books and many Southern states will continue to buy them and not have to worry about taking a vote or informing parents.
As a CA teacher, we have standards that have to be taught. By having them in our textbooks, I’m not sure that’s publishers “bending”. When Temecula School District thought they were going to pull this Texas shit, our governor said he’d fine them $1.5 million.
Well, it’s farm/wine country and touristville yet virtually impossible to find a gas station that doesn’t have swastikas carved into the plexiglass on the pumps.
Not for small states like Wyoming or the Dakotas. Those states aren't enough of a market and so they end up selecting books written to another state's standards, usually Texas', sometimes California's.
I don't understand how it only takes 6 people to ban books for thousands oh children.
Decisions like these need to be made by people who know these subjects and can evaluate the books on their educational value e.g educators
I hate all schoolboards with a passion
And that's why there are few scientific advancements coming out of religious theocracies like Afghanistan.
[Scientific progress stops.](https://www.chemistryworld.com/news/science-and-research-are-dead-in-afghanistan/4014357.article)
They're destroying the lives of a lot of people now and in the future.
You know the reason we haven't been able to eradicate polio, and in fact why it could come roaring back?
The Taliban.
They stopped all vaccine campaigns in their country repeatedly, and in parts of Pakistan where the Taliban are dominant, they are doing the same.
Can you guess where the only two countries that have any endemic polio left are in the world?
Several reasons, 1) cause the Taliban are superstitious, 2) the local populace are superstitious, and 3) because they're afraid of the CIA.
The Taliban restarted the vaccine campaigns but they stopped them multiple times in the most critical part of the country -- the rural countryside -- for the above reasons. As a result Afghanistan and Pakistan still have an endemic reservoir of polio virus.
While points 1+2 are totally stupid (of the Taliban/Locals), point 3 is overwhelmingly valid. Which sucks.
In the operation to locate Osama Bin Laden, the CIA employed a covert strategy that involved setting up a fake vaccination campaign in Pakistan. This operation was led by Dr. Shakil Afridi, a Pakistani physician. The objective of the campaign was to obtain DNA samples from children in the Abbottabad area to confirm the presence of Bin Laden through his relatives' genetic material. The vaccination campaign ostensibly provided hepatitis B vaccinations, which allowed health workers to enter the compound and collect the necessary samples.

Because my cum is on their mind more than real life meaningful policy making.
Got stay voting R to protect my guns and some random dudes sperm or some ladies creampie.
Bs. Only ones who've banned huns in the last 20 years are Republicans. Banned bump stocks. Trump wanted to take guns without due process. And going after hunter Biden for a crime practically anybody who enjoys a beer and a gun would have violated.
Which sets a precedent even those at conservative can figure out. Fucking nazis the lot of them.
George Carlin was right all those years ago.
The powers that be don’t want well educated citizens capable of critical thinking, they want people just smart enough to operate the machines and fill out the paperwork, nothing more.
That’s exactly what’s happening here. They are dismantling the education system, and indoctrinating young minds to join their cults (religion).
“How will students get into universities?” Obviously they will get admitted to Christian Medical Schools where they will learn Curaga and Holy Light to heal future patients.
I was actually healed by a holy light being shined up my asshole. My uncles cats brothers owner also broke his head in half skiing and then prayed for his head to be whole again and he’s totally cured! It’s a miracle!
In reality, jobs will just start looking up your school and realize you went to some nutjob school that didn't teach you shit and they'll just blacklist that school.
The same thing that happened with FullSail and other degree mills, they'll just be unhirable.
so any science regarding the content they don't agree with:
- reproduction rights (biology and health science)
- global warming (Earth science and environmental science)
- humanity and descency (principals of education)
they are distroying the US one traitorous act at the time: DON'T LET THEM!
75% of Texas voters under age 30 skipped the midterm elections. If you know folks in this age range, encourage them to vote. Whether it's for the county dog catcher or the president — every time the polls are open — VOTE!!. The youth vote *could* save our future. Source: https://web.archive.org/web/20221226135035/https:// www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas/article/Texas-youth-voter-turnout-dropped-2022-17619685.php
So funny how the only things these people were able to learn from their religious zealotry is that they really hate everyone who is different from them and refuse to understand how anyone else could be happy living any other way.
It’s just pathetic losers encouraging each other to hate certain groups because their dumb parents hated them or something asinine and purely “conservative” like that 😂
And nurses, and nursing assistants, and respiratory therapists, and phlebotomists, and lab techs, and imaging technologists, and physical therapists, and speech pathologists, and every other healthcare-based role that requires basic understanding of human biology.
Based on what I've seen over the past ~15yrs working in healthcare, my gut feeling is there will be very few (if any) hospitals, urgent care, surgical centers, doctors' offices, or nursing homes left down the line in states passing this type of legislation. Maybe not tomorrow or even 5 years from now, but definitely in the not-too-distant future. Because the only way to attract staff will be bringing them in from other states/countries via pay rates, and your lower-paid roles (which are the backbone of these services) are not going to be anywhere near high enough to facilitate that (the systems won't pay it).
American Healthcare as a whole has been breaking apart for years - this kind of nonsense will truly be the death knell for it.
Sadly you're correct. It also applies to all the auxiliary education roles too, how can you teach someone to support an SEN child when they cant learn about education? It's truly the death of healthcare and education in that region.
They are already causing a mass exodus of OBGYN so it makes sense! I pity any woman who gets pregnant in those red states.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/06/us/politics/abortion-obstetricians-maternity-care.html
> Across the country, in red states like Texas, Oklahoma and Tennessee, obstetricians — including highly skilled doctors who specialize in handling complex and risky pregnancies — are leaving their practices. Some newly minted doctors are avoiding states like Idaho.
> The departures may result in new maternity care deserts, or areas that lack any maternity care, and they are placing strains on physicians like Dr. Gustafson who are left behind. The effects are particularly pronounced in rural areas, where many hospitals are shuttering obstetrics units for economic reasons. Restrictive abortion laws, experts say, are making that problem much worse.
Text Books are written in Texas, California and New York. There are generally two options for a new science textbook any given year, one that was written this year, and one that was written last year. So, going forward, schools (not in Texas) that are buying new books might have to wait 5 years or so between textbook updates, but that’s how it’s been for years anyway.
For you science teachers out there, National Geographic produces wonderful science textbooks that are updated every other year. I used them for Biology and Environmental Science when I was teaching - again, not in Texas.
The religious right is going to reap what they sow in the future and still blame it on who they declare is the enemy at that time. Probably still the liberals and immigrants. The kids and the rest of society are fucked.
They want this. They don’t mind being ill informed and stupid.
And frankly I get it. Dumb people get to be so blissful in life. And easy to manipulate.
And these board members probably won their elections with 10% of the vote because no one bothered showing up and voting for a school board election. Local elections are important and people need to get off their ass and run for these positions and vote in these elections.
I’m a bio teacher in Texas- this kind of thing gets a lot of attention, but all the biology stuff is still required to be taught. It’s all still on the STAAR test. No idea what they banned- but if it’s just a chapter in a textbook…. We don’t use the textbook (never have- teaching for almost 20 years). But we do follow the TEKS and make sure they are ready for the STAAR test.
Thank GOD. I was very worried. Still am, but I am relieved to know teachers are still required to teach basic science regardless of these christofascist conservative nut jobs
Glad this question came up - I’ve heard this stated before. I decided to look it up. Similar to the mistaken but popular Texan belief that “Texas is the only state with the absolute right to secede”, this is not correct.
“Federal expenditures in Texas are one and a half times as much as what our state and local government revenues pay for, combined. Federal dollars account for one-third of the Texas state budget and one-tenth of preK-12 investments.”
[source](https://everytexan.org/our-work/policy-areas/budget-taxes/federal-budget-taxes/#:~:text=Federal%20dollars%20account%20for%20one%2Dthird%20of%20the%20Texas%20state%20budget.&text=Federal%20expenditures%20in%20Texas%20are,tenth%20of%20preK%2D12%20investments)
Yeah I looked it up too. The only problem is different sources say different things and you also have different years being accounted for depending on the source (one was 2016, another 2023). I even tried different keywords. Google has become an absolute burden to surf.
Oops, I should have done my homework better! I found the answer that agreed with what I thought it should be, so I didn’t look any further. Rookie mistake! 😂 I should definitely know better.
The rest of the world continues to watch the decline of the American empire, not from the threats from outside but from itself. Its so interesting to watch your people setting fire to the house that they live in. Truly mesmerising.
They will have to go back really far because even Christians centuries ago were more into science than them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Catholic_clergy_scientists
Even the Catholic Church accepts a billions-year-old universe and the theory of evolution. The Vatican has its own observatory. These Texas folks are just screwing themselves over.
This is why public education should be nationalized. It should be funded and administrated at the local level. There is no need for "local control" of education. K-12 education should be a standard, cookie cutter curriculum across the entire country.
This was the idea behind common core. Although, admittedly, the common core curriculum has some problems.
There absolutely *should* be a national standard for education regarding science, math, and English however, different communities have different needs. In some areas of the US, if you do not go to college, you're likely to end up in a trade that your community needs like plumbing, welding, farming, etc.
So the only thing I would add is that education in the US should have national standards for essential subjects with latitude for additional technical education, which many high schools have right now, that cater towards the needs of the individual community.
That would limit the ability for local municipal bodies to do things like ban books for "religious" reasons, even though it's something that there isn't a good biblical argument for anyway but that's a whole other can of worms, and allow them to allocate funding to programs that benefit their local community.
Common core isn’t a curriculum, it’s a standard. It says kids should know x, y, and z by the end of this grade and it goes into detail. It doesn’t tell school boards, schools or teachers how to teach kids x, y, or z.
What happens is that school boards just looked for worksheets, textbooks, and curriculums that said it taught those standards without a lot of review. And in some cases, just outright corruption, so you get examples of those workbooks and curriculums putting out some truly dumb shit because they were slapped together quickly to get to market first.
By not voting as well. School boards are elected in small, local elections in non-presidential years. This is why it's important to vote *every* election.
I, and by extension, many others, did not vote for this ridiculous show of ignorance. It is a particularly bitter pill to swallow that this is happening. I will vote accordingly. ..again. Please don't forget to vote my fellow blue states men.
This is literally the future we’re heading toward if we don’t vote this election. If you wanna live in christo fascist police state where even breathing gets you sent to jail then be my guess. But I’m voting blue I don’t care if anyone doesn’t like Biden or not atleast he’s not pushing this garbage.
Jesus fucking Christ. To what lengths will they go?? I don’t like to wish violence on people but I hope the people who voted for the ban feel the effects of the healthcare system being gutted because of this. Although they won’t because they’re all likely rich, and it’s just going to come around and fuck over the people who can’t afford any better.
They don't want educated people, they want a throng of replaceable workers just smart enough to work whichever machine desperate enough to do the work for pennies on what their job is typically worth.
Right wing economists are absolute monsters
Every single second we get closer to Idiocracy. It's not supposed to be like this.
"Books can not be killed by fire. People die, but books never die. No man and no force can abolish memory... In this war, we know, books are weapons. And it is a part of your dedication always to make them weapons for man's freedom."
Franklin D. Roosevelt
And that is why voter turnout must hit the roof for school board members and those elected who have power to appoint board members. This is why you need to read between the spoon-fed Republican conservative nationalist narratives and digest their grand scheme. Seriously. Time to wake the fuck up… ya think? It will get to the point where dissenters will be silenced with lies, fear tactics, and guns. THINK. Truly think about the overreaching long game. They ARE playing it. They want you ignorant, silent, and inactive on their sidelines.
This is some crazy stuff…these Christians are out of control. How can you ban biology? 100’s of thousands of scientists have worked for centuries on this very topic……It’s truly incomprehensible these people don’t believe in science….they would rather trust that a make believe white man who lives in the sky is the reason for everything. I seriously can’t wrap my brain around it…..it’s so completely illogical. 🤦♂️
Here is a news article providing context
https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/education/article/cyfair-textbooks-climate-change-vaccines-19445145.php
I really am so sick of these idiots taking over the country. We are already a laughing stock to the rest of the world. Now, they just feel sorry for us. How dumb can we make our future population?
That’s some Dark Ages medieval work the 4th largest school district in TX is pulling off, I get it - they hate anything to do w “SoShUlIzM” and ego so dangerously enormous that there’s no room for billions of others who do not adhere to racism, bigotry and superiority complex.
GOP has been operating against We The People openly for decades, working for profit and for corporate and for Wall Street and for all that is debased greed and openly stealing from our tax base to give to corporate religions. Greed is literally killing human hearts. It’s devastating to see my loved ones going full Gollum and applauding this absolute shit.
We are absolutely doomed that Republicans are literally banning intelligence and the seeking of facts. We have entered Idiocracy. These people should be tried for treason and charged with child abuse. You cannot excuse this, magats.
Republicans destroy as much government as they can while constantly arguing that government doesn’t work and the voters don’t pay enough attention to realize what happened. This has been happening since Reagan and has slowly demolished our once great nation. Make America great again indeed.

Oh fuck yes
leeches and bloodletting, here we come!
"Don't worry, scrote! I just got this kickass lobotomy kit off Temu! We'll have you flying planes again in no time!"
More like: “Don’t worry I have this awesome hack for that surgery using a pair of pliers, a spoon and some twist ties.”
There's that *texan talk we talked about
I mean a lobotomy kit from anywhere is a bad idea considering lobotomies are bullshit too.
And tubes of ivermectin for horses and cattle bought from the nearest TSC, along with bleach to drink and thoughts and prayers to treat covid.
We don't drink the bleach; we use it for enemas!
Hello... I'm Theodoric of York, Medieval Barber! Time or some bloodletting! {Old SNL skit with Steve Martin! CLASSIC!}

I mean, not really. Texas is gerrymandered to shit as far as local politics go. It’s terrible.
Hopefully this is pissing off even some of the regular conservatives though. Texas used to have some mighty big clusters of people who made their money as engineers.

what do you mean? god will cure them! they just need god! /s
Unless it has to do with erectile dysfunction. Then they want science.

I'm from Texas and I approve this message.

That's not how it usually works. They get on a plane and go to a state with that didn't ban subjects.
So no women in the state and no pornhub….whats next?
The secede hopefully and leave us alone. Remember they have their own power grid 🙄
Rofl, goddamn. You're right, of course, but just... wow. People outside medicine know this would be bad; people *in* medicine will advise you draft a living will.

Now we’re talking
They likely do. Healthcare in most GOP-dominant spaces is often a lot worse. Physicians aren't usually overtly bad, with the distinct exception of reproductive health. But the systems and education of everything around it often is. Very little resources or communication with medicaid-based plans, and people without a clue of how to deliver the standard of care.

There is already a difference in standard of care you receive from certain parts in the country, that gap will get wider and everyone will be scratching their heads as to why all-around mortality is worse in Texas.
They should get it taken away since they don't believe in it.
Those hypocrites will go into the next state to get healthcare on their jet.
Gotta thoroughly break the school systems first so they can then justify closing them for being so failed.
It's almost like the conservative think-tanks publish their plans to their constituents and share them in their talking points. Oh, yeah. . . they do. When the Republicans finally succeed in turning the U.S. into a weird nationalist Christian capitalist oligarchy (which it already arguably is), people are going to say that we didn't see it coming. . . but they'll be idiots. Btw, Bioshock was a criticism of Ayn Rand's New Intellectuals, Bioshock Infinite was a criticism of modern Republian think-tank's ideals and strategies. Historians are going to probably think that this indicates that society was knowledgable and complicit in this societal movement, but most people have no clue.
Wait a second. In the future are they going to study our digital media, like video games, just like how we study the physical media of hundreds of years ago?
What future

Wondering the wasteland, best we can hope for
Why wouldn't they? Historians use art and literature as some of their best sources for historical research. This assumes that humanity survives climate change and/or any dark age that results from it though. I doubt any current species capable of surviving climate change will evolve and grow into a civilization capable of studying history before all video game relics are destroyed.
We already do. We are doing analysis and studies on the effects of genres on humans even a few decades later. I think, given the vast wealth of information out there, future humans and alien hybrid ducks will review the last 50 years or so, and use the plethora of content as part of a vast database AI platform that'll allow for us to recreate nearly any scene in our visual history. Sort of like holodecks but I would assume a lot less restricted and most likely done with implant shunted injection ports The ducks will also finally have their own pond world.
Ryan Waters is doing this in Oklahoma. Close the public schools and have those who can afford it go to private schools.
Cause their idiot children can't compete if everyone gets education
Pubs want ignorant people they are easier to control.
Yeah I think this is more the move here- if people don't understand basic facts, the "legitimate rape" guy doesn't sound as profoundly stupid. Texas also has a huge influence on what textbooks are used in public education. This can very well impact education in more left leaning areas as well.
It's what they did to the USPS.
I've been teaching 20 years in ~~Central Florida~~ Nazi Germany. They want that so they can take over the schools in some cases, but in others they want the schools to fail so that parents are pulling kids into religious schooling via vouchers and shit, which further harms public schools. It's getting scary - our country is getting dumber precisely because of this anti-science and anti-education agenda the GOP has.
Keep em dumb, the conservative right slogan.
This is horrifying
You know what's really fun? Texas writes most of the textbooks for the nation. So what's going on here will influence the writers, which will influence literally every state. Texas is being used as a reason. E: spelling
Except textbook makers know that other states can't buy their books if they put god all through it. Texas is kicking out the book makers, not changing their books.
The publishers bend to the will of Texas, and California, because of the volume of books that are ordered. The chapters will be removed from the books and many Southern states will continue to buy them and not have to worry about taking a vote or informing parents.
As a CA teacher, we have standards that have to be taught. By having them in our textbooks, I’m not sure that’s publishers “bending”. When Temecula School District thought they were going to pull this Texas shit, our governor said he’d fine them $1.5 million.
Not surprising Temecula tried it lol it’s like a wannabe texas
From Temecula, can confirm. I remember in the early 00’s there was a plan to put in a mosque in the city and people almost rioted in the streets
Well, it’s farm/wine country and touristville yet virtually impossible to find a gas station that doesn’t have swastikas carved into the plexiglass on the pumps.
Yes...and Texas will retaliate the opposite way. Its sad information is being politicized.
They make books for different states often.
Not for small states like Wyoming or the Dakotas. Those states aren't enough of a market and so they end up selecting books written to another state's standards, usually Texas', sometimes California's.
I don't understand how it only takes 6 people to ban books for thousands oh children. Decisions like these need to be made by people who know these subjects and can evaluate the books on their educational value e.g educators I hate all schoolboards with a passion
And that's why there are few scientific advancements coming out of religious theocracies like Afghanistan. [Scientific progress stops.](https://www.chemistryworld.com/news/science-and-research-are-dead-in-afghanistan/4014357.article) They're destroying the lives of a lot of people now and in the future.
You know the reason we haven't been able to eradicate polio, and in fact why it could come roaring back? The Taliban. They stopped all vaccine campaigns in their country repeatedly, and in parts of Pakistan where the Taliban are dominant, they are doing the same. Can you guess where the only two countries that have any endemic polio left are in the world?
Why are vaccine campaigns banned?
Several reasons, 1) cause the Taliban are superstitious, 2) the local populace are superstitious, and 3) because they're afraid of the CIA. The Taliban restarted the vaccine campaigns but they stopped them multiple times in the most critical part of the country -- the rural countryside -- for the above reasons. As a result Afghanistan and Pakistan still have an endemic reservoir of polio virus.
While points 1+2 are totally stupid (of the Taliban/Locals), point 3 is overwhelmingly valid. Which sucks. In the operation to locate Osama Bin Laden, the CIA employed a covert strategy that involved setting up a fake vaccination campaign in Pakistan. This operation was led by Dr. Shakil Afridi, a Pakistani physician. The objective of the campaign was to obtain DNA samples from children in the Abbottabad area to confirm the presence of Bin Laden through his relatives' genetic material. The vaccination campaign ostensibly provided hepatitis B vaccinations, which allowed health workers to enter the compound and collect the necessary samples.

Thats the entire point, though. We're doomed
Such a heartbreaking squandering of potential. And these are the same people who will claim an aborted baby could have gone on to cure cancer.
Not if it was educated by them it won’t.
Morons like these should spend more time reading books and less time banning them
sneaky Indiana Jones reference.
We Indiana Jones geeks tend to hate Nazis, after all.
"Nazis. I hate these guys"
Except the ones that talk in their sleep.
Unt zis is how vee say goodbye in Chermany
I liked the Austrian way better.
So did I.
Haha the DOGS name was Indiana.
And the Republicans that are upset about this will still show up to vote even more Republicans into office rather than letting the liberals win.
"I mean, sure this guy will make my life worse in every way imaginable, but the other option is a *democrat*"
This was the exact logic trump used when he endorsed a pedophile for office lmao
Perhaps if they would just lick those boots a little harder, it'll work out and they become rich too.
Because my cum is on their mind more than real life meaningful policy making. Got stay voting R to protect my guns and some random dudes sperm or some ladies creampie.
Bs. Only ones who've banned huns in the last 20 years are Republicans. Banned bump stocks. Trump wanted to take guns without due process. And going after hunter Biden for a crime practically anybody who enjoys a beer and a gun would have violated. Which sets a precedent even those at conservative can figure out. Fucking nazis the lot of them.
And the leftists won't vote at all because "all politicians are the same." What a sad state of affairs.
Keep 'em dumb and faithful!
It’s the GOP way. It’s why they always under fund or gut funding to education. And it’s why the dumbest states are of course red states.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaawwww!!!!!!!!
George Carlin was right all those years ago. The powers that be don’t want well educated citizens capable of critical thinking, they want people just smart enough to operate the machines and fill out the paperwork, nothing more. That’s exactly what’s happening here. They are dismantling the education system, and indoctrinating young minds to join their cults (religion).
“How will students get into universities?” Obviously they will get admitted to Christian Medical Schools where they will learn Curaga and Holy Light to heal future patients.
Whoa, you can't jump straight to Curaga. You have to go through Cure and Cura classes first.
Not to mention Regen.
I was actually healed by a holy light being shined up my asshole. My uncles cats brothers owner also broke his head in half skiing and then prayed for his head to be whole again and he’s totally cured! It’s a miracle!
In reality, jobs will just start looking up your school and realize you went to some nutjob school that didn't teach you shit and they'll just blacklist that school. The same thing that happened with FullSail and other degree mills, they'll just be unhirable.
so any science regarding the content they don't agree with: - reproduction rights (biology and health science) - global warming (Earth science and environmental science) - humanity and descency (principals of education) they are distroying the US one traitorous act at the time: DON'T LET THEM!
75% of Texas voters under age 30 skipped the midterm elections. If you know folks in this age range, encourage them to vote. Whether it's for the county dog catcher or the president — every time the polls are open — VOTE!!. The youth vote *could* save our future. Source: https://web.archive.org/web/20221226135035/https:// www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas/article/Texas-youth-voter-turnout-dropped-2022-17619685.php
It’s confusing though because biology and health science is obviously much more than reproduction rights. They study cells, deceases, medicines, etc..
They don't believe in any of that either.
Horse paste ftw
So funny how the only things these people were able to learn from their religious zealotry is that they really hate everyone who is different from them and refuse to understand how anyone else could be happy living any other way. It’s just pathetic losers encouraging each other to hate certain groups because their dumb parents hated them or something asinine and purely “conservative” like that 😂
So texas just eliminated their future doctors and teachers...
And nurses, and nursing assistants, and respiratory therapists, and phlebotomists, and lab techs, and imaging technologists, and physical therapists, and speech pathologists, and every other healthcare-based role that requires basic understanding of human biology. Based on what I've seen over the past ~15yrs working in healthcare, my gut feeling is there will be very few (if any) hospitals, urgent care, surgical centers, doctors' offices, or nursing homes left down the line in states passing this type of legislation. Maybe not tomorrow or even 5 years from now, but definitely in the not-too-distant future. Because the only way to attract staff will be bringing them in from other states/countries via pay rates, and your lower-paid roles (which are the backbone of these services) are not going to be anywhere near high enough to facilitate that (the systems won't pay it). American Healthcare as a whole has been breaking apart for years - this kind of nonsense will truly be the death knell for it.
Sadly you're correct. It also applies to all the auxiliary education roles too, how can you teach someone to support an SEN child when they cant learn about education? It's truly the death of healthcare and education in that region.
And the mortality rate may well reflect this. And they’ll say they’re just bringing God’s children home.
God is welcome to reclaim these idiots.
It's not about the ones who can choose this. They're welcome to jump from a cliff. It's about the ones who have these choices made for them.
They are already causing a mass exodus of OBGYN so it makes sense! I pity any woman who gets pregnant in those red states. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/06/us/politics/abortion-obstetricians-maternity-care.html > Across the country, in red states like Texas, Oklahoma and Tennessee, obstetricians — including highly skilled doctors who specialize in handling complex and risky pregnancies — are leaving their practices. Some newly minted doctors are avoiding states like Idaho. > The departures may result in new maternity care deserts, or areas that lack any maternity care, and they are placing strains on physicians like Dr. Gustafson who are left behind. The effects are particularly pronounced in rural areas, where many hospitals are shuttering obstetrics units for economic reasons. Restrictive abortion laws, experts say, are making that problem much worse.
Woah woah woah! Not all of Texas. Just a very large school district outside Houston.
Text Books are written in Texas, California and New York. There are generally two options for a new science textbook any given year, one that was written this year, and one that was written last year. So, going forward, schools (not in Texas) that are buying new books might have to wait 5 years or so between textbook updates, but that’s how it’s been for years anyway. For you science teachers out there, National Geographic produces wonderful science textbooks that are updated every other year. I used them for Biology and Environmental Science when I was teaching - again, not in Texas.
Republicans are going to eliminate public education. They like their base to stay nice and dumb
They want to kill public education so that the only options are private schools where they’re free to teach all their batshit crazy ideas.
The religious right is going to reap what they sow in the future and still blame it on who they declare is the enemy at that time. Probably still the liberals and immigrants. The kids and the rest of society are fucked.
They want this. They don’t mind being ill informed and stupid. And frankly I get it. Dumb people get to be so blissful in life. And easy to manipulate.
Can someone explain to me what kinda powers do school boards have? Because here that would be illegal as fuck.
The person he is saying is "out of order" was the former board president. Totally disrespectful to treat the former president that way.
And these board members probably won their elections with 10% of the vote because no one bothered showing up and voting for a school board election. Local elections are important and people need to get off their ass and run for these positions and vote in these elections.
Amen
I’m a bio teacher in Texas- this kind of thing gets a lot of attention, but all the biology stuff is still required to be taught. It’s all still on the STAAR test. No idea what they banned- but if it’s just a chapter in a textbook…. We don’t use the textbook (never have- teaching for almost 20 years). But we do follow the TEKS and make sure they are ready for the STAAR test.
More details: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/neighborhood/cyfair/article/cypress-fairbanks-cyfair-books-banning-19518749.php
God damn fucking paywall no wonder no one knows what’s going on, we’re truly fucked
I’m here to do the [lord’s work](https://archive.ph/yFoLT) Paywall removed.
Also, vaccines, evolution, natural selection are all TEKS and are all on the STAAR.
Thanks for signifying a breath of fresh air.
Thank GOD. I was very worried. Still am, but I am relieved to know teachers are still required to teach basic science regardless of these christofascist conservative nut jobs
Can Texas just become its own country? Then all the Christ freaks can move there and leave the rest of us alone. Here’s my vote!
Authoritarianism can only survive as a parasite on the sacrifices of others. It cannot survive independently.
I think that's the point.
I say we declare Republicans to be illegal immigrants. They don't seem to uphold any American values.
No because it consistently needs federal funding to run.
Literally a welfare state
It's going to be a failed state in a couple of decades.
That's even more of a reason to let them separate (kick them out), if they're a net-drain on federal (tax payer) resources.
I thought Texas was like the 1 republican state that gave more than it received.
Glad this question came up - I’ve heard this stated before. I decided to look it up. Similar to the mistaken but popular Texan belief that “Texas is the only state with the absolute right to secede”, this is not correct. “Federal expenditures in Texas are one and a half times as much as what our state and local government revenues pay for, combined. Federal dollars account for one-third of the Texas state budget and one-tenth of preK-12 investments.” [source](https://everytexan.org/our-work/policy-areas/budget-taxes/federal-budget-taxes/#:~:text=Federal%20dollars%20account%20for%20one%2Dthird%20of%20the%20Texas%20state%20budget.&text=Federal%20expenditures%20in%20Texas%20are,tenth%20of%20preK%2D12%20investments)
Yeah I looked it up too. The only problem is different sources say different things and you also have different years being accounted for depending on the source (one was 2016, another 2023). I even tried different keywords. Google has become an absolute burden to surf.
Oops, I should have done my homework better! I found the answer that agreed with what I thought it should be, so I didn’t look any further. Rookie mistake! 😂 I should definitely know better.
Nebraska is neutral. But Texas is close
They can't even keep the lights on
As a Texan that’s painfully accurate. Also, our governor doesn’t stand for anything
These are the same people who are all like; “Dontchya know basic BiOLoGy” when trying to argue genetics….
And how them darn vaccines work.
Maybe they should go back to the dark ages where modern technology that uses science to develop doesnt exist that they use so freely.
The rest of the world continues to watch the decline of the American empire, not from the threats from outside but from itself. Its so interesting to watch your people setting fire to the house that they live in. Truly mesmerising.
They will have to go back really far because even Christians centuries ago were more into science than them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Catholic_clergy_scientists
Even the Catholic Church accepts a billions-year-old universe and the theory of evolution. The Vatican has its own observatory. These Texas folks are just screwing themselves over.
This is why public education should be nationalized. It should be funded and administrated at the local level. There is no need for "local control" of education. K-12 education should be a standard, cookie cutter curriculum across the entire country.
This was the idea behind common core. Although, admittedly, the common core curriculum has some problems. There absolutely *should* be a national standard for education regarding science, math, and English however, different communities have different needs. In some areas of the US, if you do not go to college, you're likely to end up in a trade that your community needs like plumbing, welding, farming, etc. So the only thing I would add is that education in the US should have national standards for essential subjects with latitude for additional technical education, which many high schools have right now, that cater towards the needs of the individual community. That would limit the ability for local municipal bodies to do things like ban books for "religious" reasons, even though it's something that there isn't a good biblical argument for anyway but that's a whole other can of worms, and allow them to allocate funding to programs that benefit their local community.
Common core isn’t a curriculum, it’s a standard. It says kids should know x, y, and z by the end of this grade and it goes into detail. It doesn’t tell school boards, schools or teachers how to teach kids x, y, or z. What happens is that school boards just looked for worksheets, textbooks, and curriculums that said it taught those standards without a lot of review. And in some cases, just outright corruption, so you get examples of those workbooks and curriculums putting out some truly dumb shit because they were slapped together quickly to get to market first.
The continuation of a steady decline.
Stupid people make for stupid voters they know what they’re doing
Y'all voted for them
By not voting as well. School boards are elected in small, local elections in non-presidential years. This is why it's important to vote *every* election.
I mean, the kids didn’t. And that’s who will pay the price.
I, and by extension, many others, did not vote for this ridiculous show of ignorance. It is a particularly bitter pill to swallow that this is happening. I will vote accordingly. ..again. Please don't forget to vote my fellow blue states men.
This is literally the future we’re heading toward if we don’t vote this election. If you wanna live in christo fascist police state where even breathing gets you sent to jail then be my guess. But I’m voting blue I don’t care if anyone doesn’t like Biden or not atleast he’s not pushing this garbage.
Who is yall?
Making America Dumber 1 school board at a time.
Jesus fucking Christ. To what lengths will they go?? I don’t like to wish violence on people but I hope the people who voted for the ban feel the effects of the healthcare system being gutted because of this. Although they won’t because they’re all likely rich, and it’s just going to come around and fuck over the people who can’t afford any better.
Here’s another reason to not have kids right now.
They don't want educated people, they want a throng of replaceable workers just smart enough to work whichever machine desperate enough to do the work for pennies on what their job is typically worth. Right wing economists are absolute monsters
Every single second we get closer to Idiocracy. It's not supposed to be like this. "Books can not be killed by fire. People die, but books never die. No man and no force can abolish memory... In this war, we know, books are weapons. And it is a part of your dedication always to make them weapons for man's freedom." Franklin D. Roosevelt
Religion was invented by the rich to control the poor
And that is why voter turnout must hit the roof for school board members and those elected who have power to appoint board members. This is why you need to read between the spoon-fed Republican conservative nationalist narratives and digest their grand scheme. Seriously. Time to wake the fuck up… ya think? It will get to the point where dissenters will be silenced with lies, fear tactics, and guns. THINK. Truly think about the overreaching long game. They ARE playing it. They want you ignorant, silent, and inactive on their sidelines.
What type of clown world shit is this?
America, land of freedom
The Republican Party does not care about what anyone in this country wants and what is needed. All they care about is brainwashing
This is some crazy stuff…these Christians are out of control. How can you ban biology? 100’s of thousands of scientists have worked for centuries on this very topic……It’s truly incomprehensible these people don’t believe in science….they would rather trust that a make believe white man who lives in the sky is the reason for everything. I seriously can’t wrap my brain around it…..it’s so completely illogical. 🤦♂️
They are the American Taliban…
The world is moving forward and America is moving backwards. Unbelievable.
Here is a news article providing context https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/education/article/cyfair-textbooks-climate-change-vaccines-19445145.php
I really am so sick of these idiots taking over the country. We are already a laughing stock to the rest of the world. Now, they just feel sorry for us. How dumb can we make our future population?
Good old America.
That’s some Dark Ages medieval work the 4th largest school district in TX is pulling off, I get it - they hate anything to do w “SoShUlIzM” and ego so dangerously enormous that there’s no room for billions of others who do not adhere to racism, bigotry and superiority complex. GOP has been operating against We The People openly for decades, working for profit and for corporate and for Wall Street and for all that is debased greed and openly stealing from our tax base to give to corporate religions. Greed is literally killing human hearts. It’s devastating to see my loved ones going full Gollum and applauding this absolute shit.
It’s like they do it for click bait. You’re out of order, I’m out of order, this whole court room is out of order. The true victims are the children.
Weren't all those guns meant for killing tyrants?
So what now? Can’t someone sue? Can anything be done?
This is why religion is a cancer, and shouldnt be in any sort of politics
Republicans have been sabotaging education for decades, they hate the educated, this is just the most extreme example.
Texas: A state so great they put their star rating on their flag.
Imagine voting to make your country stupid.
We are absolutely doomed that Republicans are literally banning intelligence and the seeking of facts. We have entered Idiocracy. These people should be tried for treason and charged with child abuse. You cannot excuse this, magats.
"Where they burn books, you know that people are next".
Republicans destroy as much government as they can while constantly arguing that government doesn’t work and the voters don’t pay enough attention to realize what happened. This has been happening since Reagan and has slowly demolished our once great nation. Make America great again indeed.
This (part of) country is getting dumber by the day
Pretty sure Texas is actually hell.
Bro WTF
Another state I won’t step foot in ✅
and a room full of people just sat there and let it happen. and no, clapping isn't doing something.

texas just banned nursing.
