“As observers of totalitarianism such as Victor Klemperer noticed, truth dies in four modes, all of which we have just witnessed.

The first mode is the open hostility to verifiable reality, which takes the form of presenting inventions and lies as if they were facts."

1/4
"The second mode is shamanistic incantation. As Klemperer noted, the fascist style depends upon “endless repetition,” designed to make the fictional plausible and the criminal desirable."

2/4
"The next mode is magical thinking, or the open embrace of contradiction...Accepting untruth of this radical kind requires a blatant abandonment of reason."

A brief history 🧵 on the importance of separation of church and state.

84 years ago Southern Baptists, American Baptists, and National Baptists adopted “The American Baptist Bill of Rights.”
"There were four varying ideas on the relationship between church and state:

1. Church above the state — a theocracy in which religion controls the government.

2. State above the church — a secular government that is hostile to religion.
3. Church alongside of the state — where one particular religion is privileged, with toleration for others.

Since you asked, Brandon.

1. Teachers. Originally most teachers in Oklahoma were not paid a living wage. We have slowly been edging them closer to what other college graduate professionals are paid. We’re still not there yet.
2. Student to Teacher ratio. In 1970 it was common to have much larger class sizes. Parents today CHOOSE smaller class sizes, increasing school budgets. Individualized learning and specialists are new innovative programs.
3. IDEA & ESEA Title I. Expanding services for exceptional kids that previously were not served or poorly served is expensive and WORTH it. All kids deserve a chance to succeed and realize their dreams.
