How long until Tuberville explicitly calls for restoring textbook language like “the war of northern aggression”?

Tommy Tuberville: "I'm from the South. We have a different way of life in terms of education. We educate our kids in different curriculums. Everybody should do their own thing."

One room school house, every one has lice and pin worms right? Don’t forget the McGuffey Reader and the little blackboard for “cipherin” and girls stop at 5th grade, any more is wasted cuz they’re just barefoot and pregnant after that right? Graduate after 8th grade and you’re working for the man.

My sis in law was taught about the "treaty at Appomattox" in Virgins in the 80s. Not...the surrender.

Did they ever stop teaching it like that?

I’ve heard from some fairly young southerners that they were taught this in school.

Everybody should do their own thing…except teach black history, diversity, equity, inclusion. It’s teach their own thing unless they hate your thing.

Someone might want to teach him the plural of curriculum.

Obviously, his parents chose this type of education for him.

Tuberville is dumb as a fence post

Is he the product of such education? Sad:(

serenadepa.bsky.social•5 hours ago

If a state wanted to, and they could find a publisher willing to do it, they can already do that. Standards and curriculum are the purview of states.

Explains why Alabama is one of the bottom states in terms of education, right, Tommy?

I've got some northern aggression building up here...and I'd like to unleash it on some these misogynistic, racist bigots (yeah, I know, redundant, but grrr...) morons that are literally killing people with their enabling of this administration...and they don't care.

His election says all you need to know about Southern education.

jasonsmith.bsky.social•6 hours ago

He would need someone to tell him what that is, because he’s a complete moron.

jim584.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Alabama ranks #45 in education. Why would you want to improve on that? If Alabama improves its education system, they won't elect Tommy again.

When will Tommy Tubs get the EO declaring English as the official language of these here United States? I am from the south too. Educated in public schools in the south. I can string more words together in creative ways than Tommy Tubs can speak in his southern broken English.

What a freaking Tuber! 🤦‍♂️

TUBER,
Definition per E. Britannica:

Specialized storage stem of certain seed plants.

Tubers are usually short and thickened and typically grow below the soil.

Largely composed of starch-storing parenchyma tissue, they constitute the resting stage of various plants

It sounds like Tuberville is talking Dixie, praising the South for their Third World existence. Dumb shit doesn't know they lost! 😠

Tuberville is walking and talking proof of the poor quality of education in the South.

And Alabama has really distinguished itself on education metrics! That’s partly why they have a glorified gym teacher as their senator

Speaking of that war, I wouldn’t be opposed to cutting the south loose. Just a drag on the economy and federal budget anyway.

carriecharlick.bsky.social•6 hours ago

The south is most poorly educationed in the country! No thanks Tommy

eriktaurean.bsky.social•3 hours ago

Might explain why Tuberville keeps his position and why Alabama is always last in nearly every demographic.

thunder1008.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Can't wait until education goes back to the states and schools start closing in red states cux they have no funding. What will happen then? MAGA will finally get what they voted for. The current Republican party doesn't want an educated electorate - too difficult to manipulate and con.

Southern states will all lower child labor ages and simply send the children to work.

Probably a lot of truth to that. Arkansas has done that under Sara Huckabee. Just SMH.

Yep. These things don’t happen in a silo. Think about it… When every public school kid is given a voucher, where do the kids go that the private schools don’t want?

rexforever.bsky.social•6 hours ago

As someone who got American history in the north and the south - the textbooks are the same. It’s the teaching that is different. It’s the emphasis on suffering, or rather who was suffering, that is different.
