A bill was introduced in the Oklahoma State Senate that would allow anyone to sue teachers that engage in opposing or differing viewpoints to a student’s religious beliefs. Under this proposed law, parents could remove any book or other form of content that could be perceived as “anti-religious”, such as books on LGBTQIA+ issues, evolution, and birth control. Cenk Uygur, Jayar Jackson, and David Schuster discuss on The Young Turks.

The proposed act, named the “Students’ Religious Belief Protection Act” means parents can demand the removal of any book with perceived anti-religious content from school. Subjects like LGBT+ issues, evolution, the big bang theory and even birth control could be off the table. Teachers could be sued a minimum of $10,000 “per incident, per individual” and the fines would be paid “from personal resources” not from school funds, from other individuals or groups. If the teacher is unable to pay, they would be fired, under the legislation.” *** The largest online progressive news show in the world. Hosted by Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian.
