its the child catcher from chitty chitty bang bang, ngl he scared the shit out of me as a kid.
Literal fursecution
Also how many tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars were wasted on the labor and materials required for this bill to go through legislature I wonder
For context, aren’t there parts of Oklahoma that had to institute a 4-day school week because they literally couldn’t afford to pay their teachers for 5 days of work per week? Which is only making their teacher drain worse, since a lot of teachers in Oklahoma move to Texas since the pay is much higher and Costs of Living are similar.
Based on responses from a sample of 342 districts nationwide, the most common reason cited as a main rationale for adoption (65.1% of districts) was financial savings; districts argue they are saving money by reducing costs such as transportation, heating, and support staff salaries (Thompson et al., in press). Districts acknowledge that reducing the school week by 1 day, or 20%, would not reduce spending by 20%, as teachers technically work the same number of hours, so their contracts, which comprise the greatest cost for the district, are not affected.
But the brain drain is completely real. Oklahoma pays teachers around $10-20k per year less than all of its bordering states on average. A first year teacher in Tulsa makes $43k per year. For comparison, in Dallas, a first year teacher at minimum makes $56,000. And Tulsa’s not that much cheaper to live in.
this guy’s like 50 and he’s submitting facebook-tier The One Joke posts to a state legislature
remind me why I’m supposed to respect this dumbfuck country again?
You don’t have to respect it, but you’ve got to admit they have an enormous number of armed chids with genocidal intent
Oklahoma 🤮
I’m out of the loop, are many children wearing fursuits to school these days? In Oklahoma?
some schools were putting cat litter in classrooms in case kids had to piss during an active shooter situation and somebody told republicans about furries
who the fuck cares if you piss yourself during an active shooter situation
Me. So called active shooter situations are often without active shooters, take hours and it is ableism to ignore the divinity and bodily functions of us people, who rather piss only people and ourselves in consensual settings. In any case schools don’t really care about facilitating good urination experiences.
