Since its creation in 2010, the Lindsey Nicole Henry Scholarships for Students with Disabilities (LNH) program has provided a lifeline to families whose children have special needs and cannot receive appropriate educational services in their local district.
Today, the Supreme Court of the United States issued a 4-4 per curium opinion in St. Isidore v. Drummond, a case involving the Oklahoma Charter School Board’s approval of St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School for inclusion as a charter-school. First Liberty Institute represents Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters, the State Board of Education, and the State Department of Education.
“Allowing the exclusion of religious schools from our charter school program in the name of 19th century religious bigotry is wrong,” said Superintendent Walters. “As state superintendent, I will always stand with parents and families in opposition to religious discrimination and fight until all children in Oklahoma are free to choose the school that serves them best, religious or otherwise.”
In a public release early this morning, more than 30 organizations and individuals, representing thousands of conservative Oklahomans, politely request legislators to oppose SJR20, the proposed joint resolution that seeks to disapprove the newly adopted science and social studies standards.
The letter notes that “three State Board members were replaced just days before the final vote, disrupting a nearly year-long process. Now, some individuals are using that disruption as cover to try to reverse the results, results that reflect the will of the people. This is not about flawed standards; it is about political interference and media manipulation.
Today, State Superintendent Ryan Walters announced in a release that the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) will begin withholding federal education funds on April 25 from school districts that fail to sign the required federal Title VI assurance. This assurance, mandated by the U.S. Department of Education, confirms that schools will not engage in discriminatory practices under the guise of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). This may be a horrific shock to the Tulsa Public Schools (TPS) System.
Updated Tempered Analysis: Do they hate us so much they publicly laugh as they destroy our children’s physical and mental health in Oklahoma? It is hard to know where to lay the blame but Leftist Educators, Superintendents, Administrators, School Board Members, Prosecutors, Judges, Legacy Media (local and national) and other slime-ball enablers should rot in hell for allowing a Transsexual Teacher-Coach guilty of sexual battery of a student to get away with no jail time, a $1,000 fine (payable at $50 per month), and “she” cannot be employed by or within a school system during her two years of supervised probation. Yes, you read that correctly, no jail time and only two years probation on a potential ten-year sentence.
V1SUT.Substack broke the latest today in an ongoing saga of “Nicko Mistystarr Deocampo Miranda (44), a ‘trans’ teacher and volleyball coach at Eisenhower High School in Lawton, Oklahoma, arrested for conducting a sexual relationship with a female student and volleyball player.
“From Miranda’s initial hiring in 2022, Lawton Public Schools allowed parents to believe she was a male teacher. In reporting her arrest, the local, legacy media similarly reported Miranda to be male despite her placement in the women’s area of the Comanche County Detention Center,” the story continued.
