In an update from Gays Against Groomers, founder Jaimee Michell is asks for support to fund a “growing need for security to ensure the safety and well-being of all our members and attendees.”

Gays Against Groomers mission is described as “dedication to stand against those who wish to harm innocent children.”

As published by the UCLA Williams Institute, Tulsa’s population of LGBT is 4.1 % of the population of the city with a gender ration of 44% male and 56% female. The race of the community in Tulsa is noted as 59% while and 41% all other races. Of those in Tulsa 34% are raising children and 66% are not.

Analysis: I am a big fan of local control.  I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  I want local control over my business, my city and the school district that serves my city where I own several properties.  More than control I want my business, my city and the school system that serves my city to be successful.

As far as I know the Tulsa Public School system (TPS) has always been controlled by people who reside in Tulsa.  Therefore, TPS has had and currently has local control.

In my view there are three methods of local control for a school district.  The first is what I will call superintendent control, the second is school board control and the third is parental and citizen control.

There is something positive to be said for each of these.
