Oklahoma’s Governor announced new High School graduation requirements that give only 3 options: college, trade school, or the military

Oklahoma is turning its classrooms into career launchpads. Governor Kevin Stitt made the announcement online.
"I'm always talking about classrooms to careers," Governor Stitt said.
Stitt announced Friday that he wants to prepare every student for success in the workforce.
"It's incumbent upon us as leaders to really set that stage, and expectations for people that they can accomplish whatever they set their mind to."
He has some ideas to make this happen, like requiring students to graduate from Oklahoma high schools.
Stitt also wants students to have to be accepted into a college.
If not college, he says kids should be accepted into a CareerTech.
Otherwise, Stitt says a student would have to be going into the army.
"You have to have some kind of plan post-graduation to go get a great job."
He also wants high schools to put a bigger focus on teaching kids about financial literacy.
"Trying to help those young people get ready for the future."
Joe Dorman with the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy says he likes the idea of getting students ready for life after graduating high school, but he says there needs to be some exceptions.
"There are children out there that are not capable," Dorman said. "You’ll have children with special needs, and other categories. It will be difficult for them to be able to move into the workforce."
The former lawmaker says state leaders should give students more opportunities through classes to better prepare them for their future.
"You have so many children these days that are graduating that don’t know how to do a load of laundry. They don’t know how to use an oven. We’ve got to make sure that these kids have those life skills classes in place. You have to have those opportunities for children to do some type of apprenticeship, or have opportunities for them to learn about other jobs."
Dorman says while lawmakers often think about reading, writing and arithmetic, they also need to focus on how children can survive on their own once they graduate.
"You really have to provide those tools for understanding how to pay bills, how to balance a budget, how to go shopping at the grocery store and what coupons are. If you have some type of foundational support there in place, that’s going to help these children thrive."

Black people need to learn how to make their own ammo.

I know my governor is bought, so I can tell others their governor is too.
Most people are indoctrinated today.
People don't get positions unless they've pledged allegiance to the hidden hands.
I guess no influencers bags in Oklahoma

People also have to understand the devil puts his mark on everything.
The mona lisa is sitting behind her.
It's basically a painting of the goddess Ishtar.
Whether it's a conscious decision or not, Satan is going to mark the people talking for him.
Those are not your only options to live life on this earth.
It's a lie.

What happen to my body, my choice?
I want this governor to be president of the United States. I don't even care if he's a racist. Someone mentally caring about the next generation is the only people that should be a in power.

I genuinely feel for black people trapped in this backwards far right red states with open white supremacists and racists in their state legislature and governors seat, this is the antithesis of freedom , what a high school student wants to do after high school education should have no bearing on their graduation whatsoever, if they meet all the necessary requirements and have sufficient grades they should get a high school diploma.
my family lives here and i grew up here and i own land here*. why should i leave? how about the whites who didnt give a shyt about this land until 1890 leave instead. mcgirt eats at their souls and i love it. i got stopped on memorial dr with a brake light out and got off with a warning. the city cannot fukk with us and its glorious
