We remember.
Today, we honor the 168 lives lost in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995, and the strength that carried Oklahoma forward. In the face of unimaginable tragedy, Oklahoma chose compassion, strength, and unity.
That spirit endures three decades later in how we serve, support one another, and move forward together.

The rhetoric that Oklahoma didn’t belong in the College Football MUST END.
This team won 10 games, including 5 ranked opponents.
They are the ONLY team to defeat Alabama at home under Kalen DeBoer.
And they are ONLY GETTING STARTED!
A lot of you need to hear this:
Sometimes, you lose a football game because a couple 18-22 year old kids make a mistake, it happens. Not every loss means coaches need to be fired or the sky is falling.
That loss sucks, but what a season for this team.
Boomer forever.
"I hope the NCAA will see that I'm not just another Football player who's wanting a bunch of NIL money; I'm someone who cares about the University and stuck his time out at the same place and is just starting to reap the rewards and is just wanting another year to go at it."
Something so wrong about the NCAA giving in to any player willing to sue them and likely unwilling to make an exception for a kid this classy.
What an incredible season for Owen Heinecke though.
For a psychology course at the University Oklahoma, Samantha Fulnecky was asked to write a 650-word essay reacting to an article about how people are perceived based on societal expectations of gender.
In her essay, Fulnecky argued that traditional gender roles should not be considered stereotypes. She cited the Bible to support her stance that eliminating gender in society would be "detrimental" because that would put people "farther from God's original plan for humans."
She received zero points out of 25 on the essay. Transgender professor, Mel Curtis, said Ms. Fulnecky, failed to use empirical evidence/and called parts of her essay offensive.
"To call an entire group of people 'demonic' is highly offensive, especially a minoritized population," the instructor wrote in the online grading platform.
Fulnecky says she followed the assignment guidelines and should not be penalized for her religious viewpoints. OU officials point to the formal grade-appeal process as the student awaits a decision.
We at Turning Point OU stand with Samantha. We should not be letting mentally ill professors around students.
Clearly this professor lacks the intellectual maturity to set her own bias aside and take grading seriously. Professors like this are the very reason conservatives can't voice their beliefs in the classroom. Kuddos to Samantha for leading by example and standing up for what she believes in. @UofOklahoma , do better!

I want to speak clearly about this situation and the ongoing concerns we continue to see coming out of the University of Oklahoma.
This individual is a man presenting himself as a woman. I don’t know what he has gone through that led him down this path, and my heart genuinely breaks for him. But personal trauma and personal decisions do not grant anyone the authority to misuse their position or to demand that others affirm arguments that are completely unscientific.
This person is supposed to be a psychology professor — someone trained in and entrusted with understanding human behavior. Yet he is ignoring foundational principles of human psychology and biology: that men and women are two distinct sexes created in a purposeful, binary design according to God’s order.
To use academic power to punish or pressure a student simply because she stood firm in her faith and cited real science in her essay is not leadership. It is inappropriate, unacceptable, and should be investigated for discrimination.
The University of Oklahoma must address this. This individual should not be teaching in higher education — period.
I applaud OU student Samantha for standing boldly on truth, science, and her faith.
OU is a publicly funded institution, supported by your tax dollars. This kind of behavior from a professor — and a university tasked with upholding truth, scientific integrity, and academic fairness — is completely unacceptable.
HUGE congrats to Eli Bowen, Tate Sandell and Taylor Wein.
