So when I came in, I said we're not going
to do those things.
And by the way, textbook manufacturers,
I sent out a a letter to all textbook companies
that involved with the state and say listen,
we will be checking for these things.
Now do not give us textbooks that have critical race
theory in them.
We are going to put together a Commission,
our textbook Commission that is actually actively looking to make
sure that a math book is actually focused on our
math standards,
not pushing social emotional learning.
Transgenderism, all this nonsense in our classes.
So we we made that very clear to the textbook
companies,
to the vendors. You're not going to do business in
this state if you violate state law and push this
indoctrination in our classrooms.
And so we've been really clear,
we've been very upfront with them on them and so
we're very thankful we've got parents there that serve for
us that really are helping us highlight when there's inappropriate
materials and textbooks and in in novels and things like
that.
So it's really helped us get to a point where
we can.
You know, insure taxpayers and parents that we're not allowing
this in our schools and so we've had some textbook
vendors pull out of the process.
And look, for me, that's absolutely fine.
If if you can't teach math without talking about transgenderism,
go to California, go to New York.
In Oklahoma, our kids are going to know the basics.
We want them to master it.
We want them to do exceptionally well academically.
We're not here for any kind of,
you know, Joe Biden's, you know,
socialist Marxist training ground. So our focus is going to
absolutely be on that.
And if a vendor cannot produce textbooks.
That actually help our students understand math.
Understand better science? Well, then,
then they can go somewhere else.
We've got plenty to choose from,
and I know that there's going to be plenty of
folks that are able to get us great materials for
our school.
