School teachers in Oklahoma with a gun license would be able to carry firearms into their classrooms with district approval under a bill approved in the state Senate. “We have a lot of kids right now who are vulnerable,” said Bullard, a Durant Republican whose rural district includes several small districts he says can’t afford to hire a police officer.

For those that don’t know—or don’t want to know—critical race theory is an intellectual movement of Civil Rights scholars who critically examine the law as it intersects with issues of race. It explores the broad legal inequities that many non-white people have to deal with on a daily basis, so, of course, Oklahoma has to put an end to that shit quickly.

A revised House Bill 1775, which restricts what topics and theories can be taught in schools on the subject, is sitting on Gov. Stitt’s desk. Patchy beard-grower Sen. David Bullard—a proponent of arming teachers in schools, mind you—is the author of the bill and claims race theory is a “growing problem” in Oklahoma.
