anyone got a link? I have… quite the meme library…
After our office consistently heard from student, parents, and teachers about objectionable curricula, policies, or programs affecting children, we launched the Eyes on Education portal.
Our kids need to focus on fundamental educational building blocks, not political ideology - either left or right.
Eyes on Education is a platform for students, parents, and educators to submit and view real examples from classrooms across the state.
The Office of the Attorney General will follow up on materials submitted to the portal that may violate Indiana law using our investigative tools, including public records requests, and publish findings on the portal as well.
To view examples or submit to the portal, select the school corporation and name of the school and upload your documents.
Upon submission, someone from our office may contact you for additional information or clarification.
Submissions to the portal will be reviewed and published regularly.
this is the most ridiculous rhetorical doublespeak I’ve seen in a while. kids need to focus on education, not political ideology, so let’s shove some political ideology down their throats? And, of course, the ass-covering BS logical absurdity that anything “objectionable” must, certainly, be unsafe for children.
I’m looking at some of the “legitimate” complaints on that page. Someone complained about inappropriate content… in Orwell’s 1984.

Flood it with Chat GPT-3 content, super easy to generate, and it would probably create more unique content that would be harder to filter out.
I sent them a copypasta

Man, that form doesn’t verify any contact information. It sure would be easy to flood it with genuine concern in picture format.
No captcha, no contact info verification not even an old school forum “What’s your favorite color” lmao
Use tor before they start filtering it. That’s usually what they block first. Submit from multiple IPs to make it harder to filter. Be realistic - there are websites that’ll help you generate fake names, addresses. You can even use ChatGPT to write time wasting comments. Try to avoid using real people’s names so you don’t get innocents harassed.
And just when I thought my state couldn’t get much worse, we’re wasting time and taxpayer money for witch hunts.
Hello fellow Hoosier, I emailed our school superintendent last year when the stupid book banning bill thing was proposed, and then passed. I wanted to know if there would be a way to tell if people requested books to be banned, so I could go out and buy them for my kid to read. (because obviously they must be read worthy)
I followed up with him recently since the bill had passed. He did, at least, inform me that no ban requests have been made. So at least in our school there wasn’t some crazy people waiting to start complaining and getting books removed. There doesn’t seem to be an easy way to search for banned books though which I would like to see as an option.
Well that’s definitely encouraging. I’m from a small town (my graduating class was less than 60 people), but I haven’t heard about any book bans here either.
I actually filled out their form, with my info but didn’t meme them. I wrote out a paragraph or so message about how disingenuous the GOP has been. That this Grandstanding and fear tactics are what has been “dividing” people and that his webpage/form, along with other bills they continue to introduce are the problem. I also reminded him that children aren’t racist, homophobic, (should have included religious) until adults teach them these things.
I’m sure my message will get lost in the memes but it made me feel better.
Can I get in trouble for this?
No idea but holy fuck that’s amazing. I’d be happy catching a charge for this.
This is the comedy police: You are under arrest for being funny without a license!
Ianal. Legally? No. It’s a tip line. There is no threat of harm. Just of being weird.
Unless there’s some disclaimer prior to submitting saying it’s the state equivalent of submitting a false police report or something… Even then, good luck trying to arrest you in a different state.
I would love to be banned from Texas or Florida if I could lol.
topics deemed to be “political ideology” in schools
Don’t you dare pledge allegiance! Don’t you dare play the anthem! Don’t you dare promote capitalism!
I still very clearly remember reading Harrison Bergeron in school and having some idiot school teacher act like “that’s that socialism kids!”
How the hell is that socialism? A reference to income based taxation? If anything, following the big scary Soviet and PRC model, they’d have pumped Harrison full of roids and told him to rip a capitalist pig dog in half for his landing.
And, of course, Vonnegut agrees it isn’t about socialism, no matter what American school teachers have been ordered to teach.

I mean you wanna be technical about it socialism is a much wider spectrum of ideas than Communism. There are definitely people who define it strictly by the presence of the worker co-op or as anti-capitalist but that’s one floating idea in a nebula. Market Socialism for instance is basically a blend of capitalism and socialism where things like capitalist incentives are still maintained but regulated and systems of social support are expanded to make up for the gap of the whole capitalist “not my monkey not my circus” washing of hands of social responsibility to be an active part of a community. It’s basically anti-capitalist in the same way putting up a privacy fence is anti-neighbor… So a wide spanning income based taxation could be construed as sort of Socialist but its basically the air we breathe as far as a norm goes.
But Harrison Bergeron is more like the Conservative satire of what “Cultural Marxism” looks like in practice. The strawman idea that is designed to make people clutch their individuality and random blessings like something someone wants to forcefully take away from them… It’s a metaphor for things like social programs and inequality conscious measures that lift up disadvantaged people to allow them access to participate in society but not a particularly good one as it pre-supposes that lifting someone up is the same thing as crushing persecution of the naturally gifted.
Your teacher was half right, the story is about Socialism but it’s a hostile framing of Socialism in complete bad faith using the conventions of science fiction to paint an overblown dystopia with hyperbolic absurd metaphors that underline the anxieties anti-civil rights advocates had when it was written.
The whole thing makes more sense when you consider that hardcore disability advocacy groups that started the path to creating the ADA basically was beginning to gain traction when the book was being written.
We gonna have to Stonewall all over again nationwide, aren’t we?
I’m not gay myself, but the math is simple: is it human?..then it has human rights.
Well that’s the thing, the haters don’t think queers and non-white people are human.
This isn’t the first time the christofacists have created a snitch line and had it filled with junk spam. What makes them think “this time it will work!”
