An Oklahoma teacher left her job after the state’s Secretary of Education accused her of giving students “banned and pornographic material.” The accusation came after Summer Boismier posted a QR code for the Brooklyn Public Library’s “Books UnBanned” program. It allows anyone 13 to 21 years old to access the library’s entire digital collection for free.

Recognizing Two Years of Books Unbanned
In April 2022, Brooklyn Public Library joined those fighting for the rights of teens nationwide to read what they like, discover themselves, and form their own opinions. Inspired by the American Library Association’s Freedom to Read Statement, Books Unbanned is a response to an increasingly coordinated and effective effort to remove books from library shelves.

Oklahoma State Board of Education:
In light of recent events involving Norman High School English Teacher Summer Boismier, I am asking the Oklahoma State Board of Education to revoke her teaching certificate immediately. Upon review of the situation, the teacher resigned rather than face removal. There is no place for a teacher with a liberal political agenda in the classroom. Ms. Boismier’s providing access to banned and pornographic material to students is unacceptable and we must ensure she doesn’t go to another district and do the same thing. This action must be dealt with swiftly and with respect to all our kids and parents.
Teachers are one of our state’s greatest assets and it is unfortunate that one of them has caused such harm and shame for the entire profession. This type of behavior will not be tolerated in Oklahoma and I speak for parents across the state who are demanding swift and immediate action.

Teachers are one of our state’s greatest assets
We’re ranked 49th in education
Sure bud
Ah, but never forget that America has the best education system globally as dictated by American News Media.
So it may look bad on paper, but imagine living anywhere else. It’s so much worse!
USA! USA! USA!
As a porn watcher I think it’s ironic that most pornstars (and all hotwives I’ve seen) are from the South and toute a gun loving, right wing Texas personality. Meanwhile this secretary tries to protect kids from the leftist books.
This is old news from almost two years ago.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if your e a teacher, youbcant give kids knowledge. You’re supposed to keep them dumb and within Republican party lines. And make sure they don’t do the sex.
May his heart stop swiftly and naturally.
This my attempt to walk the line between advocating for violence, and expressing my belief that the world would be a better place without these fucks in it. I don’t want someone to go out and kill them, I’d rather nature expedites their life cycle. But if some loony toons 2a nut job comes unhinged, I won’t shed tears.
I wouldn’t advocate for violence, either, but a lot of these types of fucks came a long way by simplifying the use of violence as a proper means vs use of violence as a way to devolve, then complicating it with their own definitions of violence to bring it back with suitable terms for themselves.
See the latest Trump example and how there is the term “political violence” is applied vs how they apply every day to regular citizens.
I wish any kind of, possibly the worst kind of, violence be upon these types of backwards fucks that become an obstacle against education, progress, and unity.

I want to punch this guy in the face so much. Kids first…

Meanwhile cops get caught doing actual bad shit and just resign and go to the next county.
Jesus Christ that is a person that shouldn’t be anywhere near kids. How do we get him rightfully fired and blacklisted from being around children?
