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

[Westbama Heartthrob]

Prepping students for career paths is a great idea. Making it a requirement to graduate is a problem. It restricts their ability to make a choice. Where is the choice for starting a business? Also, are universities going to change their recruiting requirements and take less out-of-state-students and give priority to in-state students. We are talking about money here. Will OK increase financial aid because trade schools can see this as an opportunity to raise tuition since it'll fall within a requirement. We have seen this before when the Federal government got into the student loan business. Lastly with DEI being none existent, who do you think will be impacted the most?

You can go to college for business which will allow you to learn skills and build connections for starting a business

Trade school can teach you skills (welding, cosmetology, automotive, etc.) and get you certified to be able to start a business

I was in college with folks already running their own businesses. Both my age and folks coming back for their degree.

I with onboard with being against this though. Especially if there's no financial aid being offered to these students. Or at least more assistance in finding scholarships. Cause the college prep better be A1 if they want it as a requirement. Students shouldn't be thrown off to their own devices without more assistance if the penalty is gonna be not graduating

hmm i never thought about doe is the one that does fafsa this could have many implications when trump shuts it down not just for this state, for every state

 

[Bleed The Freak]

I need more details, but on the surface, this doesn't sound that bad.

Just wait until it's mandatory work for any high school kid with the exception of athletes.

Particularly football
Then you'll know what the end game is.

 

[Bleed The Freak]

This is a bad thing?

It's a fukkin terrible idea. Some North Korea shyt.

Do WTF you want, right? Wasn't that the whole GOP mantra?

If you wanna take a break after HS, you can't get a diploma? Who the fukk gonna pay for mandatory college now if you don't get a scholarship

Fukk this plan. It's the goal to trap and control you..make you either mandatory as a soldier (and military there's nothing wrong) or trap you with 50k in loans and work to death.

If they passed their classes they should graduate. What if they want to take a gap year, or travel before their next year of school. They did their work, give them their fukking diplomas.

This the same state that wants to use Trump bibles right?

America is a backwards ass country punching down for oligarchs. Get their dikks out your mouths and ass. Stand for something.

the amount of positive replies is really bugging me

these cacs are openly pushing a christian identity platform and the republicans support it 100%

ryan walters beliefs arent that far off from timothy mcveighs.

Christian Identity - Wikipedia

there are a lot of good christians out there but they arent doing shyt to oppose this. its scary.

i gotta say reading comprehension seems to be at an all time low

If there really isn't any Special Needs exceptions then this is all the way fukked up

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.

@Chrishaune who specifically bought all the governors in the United States??

Could you just apply to one of those diploma mills that accept 100% of applicants? Show the acceptance letter to the principal and graduate, it's not like you actually have to matriculate. You'd have to eat the application fee but whatever.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Do it


In the meantime parents get to fukking work


People really need a lot of help out here?

Right... I'm missing the issue.. Bunch of young dumb nikkas I wish took one of these three options

 

[42 Monks]

man its nuanced as hell but i see it daily. people in OK are already dumb as dirt, destroying the school system will turn this state into even more of a third world country. if you saw this and had no idea about the fukkery stitt and walters get up to, yeah i could see it as a good thing.

im guilty of it too but a lot of posters dont read past the headline

completely fair. i don't know what i don't know

but like.... people are really, really talking around the fact that kids, and their parents, never give a single thought towards actually getting job or planning a future. its a daycare.

all i can say is if a similar proposition appeared in DC and had supporting structures in place to streamline it, i'd happily support it. people make the concept of having a structured career path sound like its a trip to the chain gang or something in here fr

 

[Secure Da Bag]

What happen to my body, my choice?

It's left with Kamala.

 

[ISO]

I’d add preparing to take civil service exam for city or state job or developing business proposal.

 

[IIVI]

How fukking horrible.

 

[Secure Da Bag]

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.

This seems like a response/reaction to the tweet from the Co-President.

i mean on the surface it would be a good idea, but they have agendas. everything they do is in service of the wealthy and their friends. i have been stalking ryan walters for about three years now and i could tell you some crazy shyt about him. someone on their team got me thrown off twitter for good.

ryan walters (the secretary of education) is a closeted bisexual with his lover matt langston. he hooked matt into the treasury and they've been stealing money from taxpayers for years. these dumb chucklefukk okies think ryan walters is fighting the good fight against 'da libs' and hes just looting them. id laugh if it wasnt so fukking horrific.
