The Coming Storm
The School Choice (TM) Lobby has laid the ground work for a war on all on the right who dare to question the inherently woke, leftist education policy.
Post Election Predictions From an UnWoke, Conservative, Independent in Oklahoma:
1. After the election is over, you will see anyone who questions School Choice be attacked from all corners of the spectrum with claims that they are covertly woke, against parental rights, or really anything else that they can drum up to discredit them. You saw this same treatment with Oklahoma Senator Jake Merrick at the hands of the Oklahoma Council for Public Affairs (Oklahoma’s School Choice(TM) Think Tank) during the most recent Republican primaries. School Choice (TM) will work covertly and openly with news media you do and do not trust, to remove these people from the public conversation - actively, and without reservation embracing and weaponizing the very “cancel culture” they have claimed to fight against. Only those who swear fealty to School Choice (TM) will be allowed a voice. All others will be removed. This process has actually been well under way for the last few years.

2. You will also see a mass of Democrats who are still in power after the election make the switch to support school choice. When they make this switch, will be accepted with open arms regardless of their history of woke politics. This has already begun (Check Illinois, Georgia, for example). Expect to see this in Oklahoma from Joy Hofmeister, if she wins the election. What you must realize when this happens is that Democrats are returning to a policy that was created by the most extreme element of their party in the 1970’s, but more on that later.
These Democrats will be praised as champions of bi-partisanship and any past support for wokeness or Covid hysteria will largely be forgotten, as long as they bend the knee to School Choice (TM). Any Republican or Conservative who questions this will be castigated as “fringe,” “radicals,” “Democrats” or any other pejorative that School Choice (TM) can come up with that they think will be effective. If you question this, you will no longer be considered a Republican or a Conservative according to those who influence the thoughts and emotions of the public.
3. You will also see many influencers (local and national) - many of whom have openly claimed to be against School Choice before the election but who have been raised up and amplified by the dark money behind school choice leading up to the election for this very purpose - leading the charge against those that dare to question School Choice (TM). These influencers will claim that those who dare to dissent are in favor of kids being subjected to pornography or Drag Queen story hour, etc., because they don’t support school choice, regardless of the efforts made by these people to actually stop these things before the election.
These newly inflated influencers will point towards examples of how those like myself questioned the actions of the candidates they are championing now and sadly, that will be the only evidence many will need to justify their claims. There will be no debate allowed on this from anyone on the right, especially from those who command anything resembling a large audience.
4. You may see a bill in Oklahoma and other states like Tennessee, to ban Child mutilation but it will be tied to some compromise on accepting a school choice bill. This will move some to supporting school choice (TM), giving the cover necessary for those who may have been against it before, to change their positions. Anyone who refuses to accept this compromise will be painted as a covert leftist in support of child mutilation. But this will only put the trans child issue to bed for a season. It will return in due time, and all in the name of “Inclusion.” Remember that the ARPA money being spread around the country by Biden’s CDC is being used to build the “behavioral health” infrastructure for this industry to flourish.
5. Universities will continue their ESG funded march for environmental, health and social justice largely unchecked, leaving the woke teacher and administrator pipeline not just intact but in overdrive — gradually filling public and private schools alike with the DEI/CRT/Queer Theory ideology designed to remove parents from children, all while intellectually handicapping further generations of students making them more mailable when they come of age. This will eventually result in a return to child mutilations within a generation as a moral matter of “inclusion.” Progressivism progresses…
6. Within a generation the WSCC model (also an extension of the ESG focus on societal transformation) will be slowly injected into the new unified public/private school system created by School Choice(TM) and many will accept this as necessary for the “mental and behavioral health” of the world’s children. This will actually become a selling point to parents within the new government subsidized education industry. This will be made possible by the implementation of social emotional learning, a process of progressive “behavioral health” centered education designed to bend the minds of your children in the direction of reliance on the services these WSCC schools will provide for them and their children. This will progress much like the “school lunch” system has over the last 60 years.
The prevalence of School Choice (TM) will have eliminated school boards responsible to the will of the vote of the people - replacing elected school boards with unelected, private, corporate school boards, staffed by prominent members of the tech companies like Google, Apple, and others, who profit off of the data provided by the children in the schools they oversee. Parents will be able to “vote with their feet” but the only other choices at that point will be other public/private schools that operate the exact same way, and are owned and operated by the exact same people, with the exact same agenda. WSCC will become the education industry standard.
School Choice(TM) will become the litmus test for all “Republicanism” or “Conservatism” or whether you are woke or unwoke. Agree and you are in the club and will be safe and supported. Disagree and you will be vehemently opposed - and to destroy you is no loss. (Think of the Kafka trap “you can either be racist or anti-racist” and insert “pro School Choice(TM)” or “anti - School Choice (TM),” and you get the idea.)
School Choice(TM) will be selling you your children’s shackles under the banner of “Republicanism” and “Conservatism” via a policy that was engineered for American consumption in the 1970’s by two radical Marxists from UC Berkeley, with the explicit goal of furthering the woke Marxist notion of Social Justice ”Equity” via “Inclusion” in American Society.
