Saw @Twistersmovie this weekend. It was really great!
One of the movie tornadoes hit Stillwater. The movie's tornado aftermath scene was the most damage in Stillwater since @bakermayfield's 598 yards passing in 2017 Bedlam....
Public Schools Day at the Capitol is always one of THE best days at the Cap! I can’t even count the amount of hugs & “thank yous” I received f/ teachers, parents & even a few students, & it gives me LIFE! I’ll NEVER stop fighting for our public schools & #oklaed !! 💪
It’s Public School Week, and I've had a great time visiting with educators today about the importance of a respected public education system. OK public schools serve 700,000 students. An investment into our classrooms is an investment into our future workforce. #PublicSchoolProud
Today was Teacher Appreciation Day.
Kevin Stitt didn’t make a statement thanking teachers.
Ryan Walters didn’t thank teachers after calling them terrorists yesterday.
House GOP refused to vote on teacher pay raises.
But you know who did take time to thank teachers? Gentner.👇🏼
Things that did _not_ kill kids today:
- a renaissance sculpture
- a film about Ruby Bridges
- drag queen story time
- the word ‘tampon’
- critical race theory
- woke banks
- saying that Rosa Parks was Black
- gender-affirming care
- ‘The Bluest Eye’
What did:
-an AR-f––ing-15
While we’re on the 2A topic, 90%+ of mass shootings take place in gun free zones. So yesterday I voted to expand teacher carry in Oklahoma. Leftists push for leaving kids vulnerable to attack, whereas the rest of us are pushing actual solutions to protect children.
Children’s education is not suffering because teachers are on strike.
Children’s education is suffering from years of underfunding, undervaluing and lack of understanding of how stretched schools are.
It’s not self serving, not greedy, it’s wanting better for the children.
