Obviously, if the schools are being this insane, the teacher themselves can't be the primary career move, so it was generally decided that it was a spousal or partner move. If I had to drag my spouse to Oklahoma for work, they would have to be paying me enough for my spouse not to have to work at all, much less put up with this kind of shit. Somebody said "military spouse." I guess.

Point being, the whole thing is performative. There is no big rush of teachers moving to fucking Oklahoma that they have to weed out the liberals or whatever.

"Relocated to Oklahoma." Tell me another one! Remember, the whole point is that it is some blue state liberal who is dead set on indoctrinating the kiddies with liberal propaganda. And THAT person is relocating to Oklahoma? Come on.
