We’re in the heart of the OK Legipalooza 2026 – the cold, empty, and dreadful part of January when lawmakers introduce all the batshit crazy right-wing bills they’ve filed to pander, appease, and entertain the masses they happily represent and belong to.
One of those bills is Senate Bill 1868 by David Bullard – the bearded right-wing culture-war fighting Derplahoman from Durant.
If passed and signed into law – and before being blocked by the courts as unconstitutional – it will prohibit Oklahoma science teachers from presenting the theory of evolution as the only universally accepted and proven-to-be-true explanation about the origins and development of complex life and organisms, which it is, and instead require them to present non-science-based origin beliefs – like intelligent design and religious creation myths – as other viable options.
