There is nothing wrong with having kids look at the discrepancies in the 2020 election because there’s many

Or just ask them why would 88 million vote for Joey The lying evil clown
They should look at the discrepancies in the 2016, 2020 and 2024 elections.

If rumors and innuendo are fair game then it's fair to ask what elon's kid said to trump. Why would he say that? What nefarious things could it mean?

Will they look at Trump’s 1-61 record in court cases disputing the election? Including Trump appointed judges and SCOTUS. Or the forensic audits that led nowhere?

Trump lost. Denying that is honestly sad and pathetic, displaying a lack of critical thinking. But hey, if you want to continue desperately holding on to that conspiracy theory for the rest of your days, knock yourself out Bucko.

You’re showing symptoms of TDS again … look up the word discrepancies

I’m basically saying let them take a fair look at everything and form their own opinions …. Teach it all!

trump’s 1-61 record in court cases disputing the election should be part of looking at the discrepancies. Teachers should also discuss russian interference in elections, especially 2016, and at the possibility that elon musk had a team hack the voting machines to swing the 2024 election to trump.

Not all of the "discrepancies" favor trump.

This all part of an attempt by trump and his MAQA yahoo sycophants to rewrite history. They want to start with 2020 election discrepancies but their ultimate goal is to be able to say with a straight face that it's fact that the 2020 election was stolen.

NASA celebrated this employee's story of resilience, then tried to scrub it from the internet. Then fired her.
"People see me now, and they just assume, 'oh, she had it easy,'" she says, but Rose Ferreira has had it anything but easy. The trajectory of her life has been so turbulent, in fact, that NASA, her previous employer, published a feature article about her determination on its website. That story chronicles her journey from a poverty-stricken childhood in the Caribbean and years living unhoused, to pursuing her education and rising to become a NASA intern, which ultimately led to working at the space agency full-time.

In January, that article vanished from NASA's website. As an onslaught of executive orders and directives signed by President Donald Trump sent federal agencies into a frenzy of program cancellations and mass layoffs, NASA's acting administrator Janet Petro began aligning the agency with the White House's new laws of the land. That included eliminating any office or program associated with diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) initiatives.
Inspiring story that should be published to encourage others to pursue their dreams.

Oklahoma high schools to teach 2020 election conspiracy theories as fact
State superintendent Ryan Walters tapped chief of Heritage Foundation, key player behind Project 2025, for curriculum


Sat 17 May 2025 18.18 EDT
As part of the latest Republican push in red states to promote ideologies sympathetic to Donald Trump, Oklahoma’s new social studies curriculum will ask high school students to identify “discrepancies” in the 2020 election results.

The previous standard for studying the 2020 election merely said: “Examine issues related to the election of 2020 and its outcome.” The new version is more expansive: “Identify discrepancies in 2020 elections results by looking at graphs and other information, including the sudden halting of ballot-counting in select cities in key battleground states, the security risks of mail-in balloting, sudden batch dumps, an unforeseen record number of voters, and the unprecedented contradiction of ‘bellwether county’ trends.”

The revised curriculum standard comes at the behest of Ryan Walters, the state school superintendent, who has publicly voiced his support for Trump. In October, Walters lauded Trump in an interview, saying that “Trump’s won the argument on education”.

Walters, who has also advocated for ending “wokeness” in public schools, went on to say: “We have education bureaucrats that are left-wing, elitist, that think they know best for families, and they have become so radicalized that our families are going: ‘What is going on here?’”

Oklahoma’s new social studies standards for K-12 public school students, already infused with references to the Bible and national pride, were revised at Walters’ direction. The Republican official has spent much of his first term in office not only lauding Trump but also feuding with teachers’ unions and local school superintendents.

:rofl: Start leaving empty bottles and candy wrappers around schools and churches printed with "Caution: contains wokeness".
