#aft

The term "aft" is a nautical term and originates from the Middle English term 'aftan' or from the Old English 'æftan', meaning 'behind' and refers to the rear part of a ship or a boat and is used to describe the direction towards the rear of a ship or boat.

In the context of a ship's layout, "aft" is used to indicate anything located towards the back of the vessel. For example, an "aft cabin" would be a cabin situated towards the stern. Similarly, when giving directions on a ship, one might say "move aft" to instruct someone to go towards the rear of the vessel.

Oklahoma’s “America First” Teacher Test

So here’s the tea:

If you’re a teacher moving from California or New York to Oklahoma, you now have to pass a 50-question perfect score exam called the “America First” test.

What’s on it?

Civics, U.S. history, religion, and apparently “biological differences between males and females.” Basically: Can you spell America with your eyes closed and pledge loyalty to a certain ideology?

Who made it?

PragerU. Yes, that PragerU. The same one that gives your uncle “patriot points” for watching 5-minute YouTube videos on capitalism and religion.

Why this is wild:

Teachers normally just need credentials recognized from other states. Now, if you dare come from a “blue” state, your ability to teach depends on… answering 50 multiple-choice questions perfectly.

The goal, according to Oklahoma:

Stop “woke indoctrinators.” Translation: Make sure no one teaches anything outside of the state-approved ideology.

Legal vibes:

This might be against state law since out-of-state credentials are usually recognized automatically. Lawyers are probably sharpening their pencils as we speak.

Real world impact:

Oklahoma already has a teacher shortage. Adding a mandatory “loyalty test” doesn’t exactly scream “attract top talent.”

Bottom line:
