Rebuff The Bond: Re-imagine Tulsa Schools

By David Arnett

Former City Councilor Jayme Fowler, from a multi-generational family of life-long educators, argues against the upcoming April 7th Tulsa Public Schools (TPS) bond package, which seeks $609 million in Tulsa Taxes. Fowler’s passionate plea is for voters to take this opportunity to get education right in Tulsa.

He asserts that the propositions fail to address deep-seated systemic issues, including poor academic outcomes, administrative bloat, underutilized facilities, and a destructive busing policy. This bond package perpetuates a failing status quo.

OK Must Follow Trump on Debanking

By Monica Collison

Oklahoma is one of the top states in the nation to do business. This is because, from energy to agriculture to small business, lawmakers have prioritized reducing regulatory burdens and allowing economic activity to thrive.

State Audit: Varnum Public School District

By David Arnett

“Blind trust is the opposite of oversight.”

Oklahoma State Auditor & Inspector [SA&I] Cindy Byrd today released her investigative audit of the Varnum Public School District in Seminole County. District Attorney Erik Johnson requested the audit in response to concerns raised by the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office. The audit period covered June 1, 2018 through June 30, 2022.

“The signature stamp strikes again,” Auditor Cindy Byrd said. “The use of a signature stamp, combined with instances of individuals signing on behalf of others without proper authorization, contributed significantly to the findings of this audit report. I strongly encourage every government entity in Oklahoma to discontinue the use of signature stamps and implement stricter controls over authorization for approvals.”

Yes folks, there are “Red Neck Auto-Pens” here in Oklahoma.

By Gays Against Groomers

Washington, D.C. hosted the largest gathering of Detransitioners to date March 12, 2026.

Detrans Awareness Day was never supposed to exist. Detransitioners wouldn’t need their own day unless something went very wrong. And this year, it’s getting harder than ever to pretend it didn’t. Across the country and in Washington, D.C., detransitioners are stepping forward in numbers that institutions can’t keep brushing off. At the Genspect “Life Beyond Transition” conference, more than 70 detransitioners gathered, the largest event of its kind. It was the largest gathering of detransitioners ever held – young women and men who trusted the script, took the blockers, swallowed the hormones, went under the knife, and woke up to the nightmare.
