When I took AP Government at Choctaw HS in 2012, our books were over ten years old and didn't have the outcome of the 2000 election, PATRIOT Act, rise of the Tea Party, etc. You know, things that might've turned students off Conservatism.
But sure, let's get them bibles.
Good morning, early birds! Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters announced Thursday the purchase of more than 500 Bibles for use in Advanced Placement (AP) Government classrooms.
In a desperate attempt to save Oklahoma counties from "today's world of open borders," we have removed critical services for our fellow people. Your legislators would rather let elderly and unhoused Oklahoma citizens die than even RISK giving care to a single migrant or refugee.

One of Tulsa’s conservative city councilors said that, on a visit to OKC, a Housing Alliance worker “set him straight” when he asked if mental illness or drug addiction was the leading cause of homelessness. They told him no — it’s a lack of affordable housing.
All a part of the corporate reform plan. Under fund public schools. Show they’re “failing”. Get parent buy in to move kids out of “failing” schools. Push voucher plan as solution. Make 💰off kids, in the name of “doing it for the kids.” Catching real new-age robber baron vibes.
Here's a friendly reminder that a wilful violation of the #Oklahoma Open Records Act can not only result in a civil suit against the offending person and agency for the records, but can also result in criminal charges against the public official as well. https://t.co/dWY7huCjAH
Strawn outlines the board's six main concerns: special ed plan. Pedagogy. Governance ie management co. Connectivity, access and IT. Plan to address funding public/private. Clean up inconsistencies.
