OK Creation of Office of School Choice

By David Arnett

At last week’s Oklahoma State Board of Education meeting, State Superintendent Ryan Walters announced the creation of the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) Office of School Choice. The new division will function as a one-stop shop for all things related to school choice and parental empowerment in Oklahoma.

“Whatever the educational option parents choose, I want to make sure they have one place to go where they can navigate their options for their child,” said Walters. “I am proud that OSDE will be among the very first state departments in the nation to have created this resource. Oklahoma will continue to lead on school choice now and into the future, and we will be here to assist parents every step of the way.”

Never Safe or Effective

By David Arnett

Editorial Analysis: At last report, over 17,000 Scientists and Physicians confirm that Governments around the world along with Corporations willfully and deliberately lied about Covid vaccines. Officials, including Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum, are failing to make good on the damage they have done to small businesses, churches, children and adults.

The data now shows that the Covid vaccinated are more likely to become infected or have disease or even death compared to the unvaccinated people. Covid Vaccines damage your heart, brain, reproductive tissue, lungs, increase cancer and permanently damage your immune system.

The European Parliament asked Pfizer this direct question. “Was the Pfizer Covid Vaccine tested on stopping the transmission of the virus before it entered the market?” Janine Small, a Pfizer President replied “NO, we had to really move at the speed of science to really understand what is taking place in the market. At that point of view we had to do everything at risk.” They risked lives and lied to you.

Route 66 Commission Rules Approved

By Rep. Terry O’Donnell

The House and Senate recently passed a joint resolution approving proposed permanent rules of the Oklahoma Route 66 Commission. Governor Kevin Stitt has already signed the measure into law.

The vote was necessary to allow the commission to move forward with its work of administering revitalization grants for various projects along the historic roadway. I was told the nine commission members already are in the process of sorting through and scoring grants and may have some announcements at their April 11 meeting.

The City of Catoosa made a substantial request for upgrades to the Blue Whale in time for the 2026 Centennial. This fun attraction – with its wide toothy smile – has been drawing visitors since it was completed in the early 1970s. With the Centennial celebration of Route 66 approaching, the whale will take on an even greater prominence as a must-see stop.
