@KyleDLoveless@OKCPS Every activity and institution - businesses, non-school state government, parent-organized sports, etc - are open except for public schools, in particular @OKCPS. They are doing a disservice to the children they teach, the parents who rely on them, the taxpayers who fund them ..
Its 40 degrees and sunny, and @OKCPS has cancelled school for the 5th day in a row *except for highschool athletics.* Is there an even theoretical student or family who is best served by this decision? what is going on?!

"If we're going to have decisions that benefit all of us ... truly benefit the greater good ... we're going to have to get to a point where we have a process and a system that allows every single voter to count, every single voter's perspective to matter, and for those running for office to have an incentive to seek out the perspective of everyone they represent."
- Kris Steele, Republican and former
Oklahoma Speaker of the House, Shawnee, OK

BREAKING: Proponents of SQ 836 have filed a lawsuit challenging the retroactive application of SB 1027, a new law imposing sweeping restrictions on Oklahoma's citizen initiative process. 🧵
“SQ 836 is not about allowing Democrats to vote in Republican primaries. It proposes instead to eliminate partisan primaries altogether and restore fairness and accountability to a system that’s increasingly broken.”
- Pat McFerron, Vote Yes 836 Strategist 🧵
"SQ 836 is not a partisan issue — it’s a pro-voter issue. It ensures that every Oklahoman has a voice in every stage of the electoral process. It encourages candidates to build coalitions rather than simply appease party insiders."🧵

Joseph Abraham in Tulsa thinks nothing is more important to the future of our state than supporting State Question 836. We couldn’t agree more.
