@SenatorLankford Enough of the us vs. them rhetoric, Senator. The people of Oklahoma deserve solutions to practical problems, not fear-mongering from power hungry politicians.
@SenatorLankford you are partially responsible for today’s violence. Stop telling people that the president can still win the election. You know it’s a lie; they don’t!
We are 3 weeks from primary elections in Oklahoma. Try not to think of this election in terms of R vs D but ask yourself if your desire is to maintain the status quo or to create real change that emerges out of a radical hope that our future can be better than our past. #ThinkBig
In this tumultuous time, do we participate in a politics of cynicism or do we participate in a politics of hope? The hope of an OK where every child has access to a world class education, one where working hard is rewarded, where we build things not tear them down. I choose hope!
The vote on the Supreme Court looks extremely close in a case surrounding whether states can tax all online sales — with the states looking like they could lose. https://t.co/IbHJK4XYsq
ACTION ALERT: Take a minute to thank an Oklahoma legislator. Progress is happening, and they aren’t done yet. Thank our #oklaed supporters and encourage them to keep pushing for our students. #OKwalk4kids#OklahomaTeachersWalkout
Most legislators will at least pretend to care about public ed, but only a handful will feign concern about a childhood poultry scare. Get you a rep like @ForrestBennett.
Yesterday, the Legislature passed a historic education funding increase. Today, they started dismantling it by cutting millions out of the plan. Now they're gone for the weekend. Oklahoma: we'll see you at 9 a.m. April 2 at the Capitol. #OKwalk4kids https://t.co/CWztH6zuIo
Teachers in Edmond getting honks as they wave signs. "I'm going to be out of school on Monday," said Edmond Memorial teacher Greg Oppel. "We've been dealing with low funding our entire careers." #oklaed
Ahead of a possible teachers strike, the OEA has proposed $905.7 million in recurring revenue through a variety of sources, including a 5 percent gross production tax, increase in tobacco taxes, income tax reform and more, via @DMSlipke#oklaed https://t.co/11eLBlEPPB
But make no mistake, the state budget is the Legislature’s responsibility and the only people responsible for the current budget are the people currently in office. The cries that they are doing their best but they just can’t get that raise accomplished by April 2 holds no water;
Attn: OK Legislators- you have 11 days to complete your assignment. Description: Fix the education budget. Due date: April 1
Bonus credit awarded for early completion. OK's students & teachers are counting on YOU! #april2#oklaedwalkout#oklaed#OKleg#okea
