Thursday, the Oklahoma Supreme Court rejected Tulsa Mayor Monroe Nichols’ foolish attempt to cede authority to an Indian tribe “as a matter of law.” The decision voids a settlement agreement signed by Mayor Nichols between the City of Tulsa and the Muscogee (Creek) Nation that would have prevented municipal police and prosecutors from enforcing laws against tribal members. Said another way, this decision prevents race-based law enforcement as attempted by the Democrat Socialist Tulsa Mayor.
Friday Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt signed House Bill 2153 into law, opening the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association’s (OSSAA) decisions to public inspection and ending the penalizing of student athletes for transferring schools.
“I’ve heard too many stories of students who did everything right to transfer, only to be sidelined by an unelected, unaccountable activities association,” said Governor Stitt. “No student’s chance to be a part of an activity should depend on whether their parents can afford an attorney. This law puts families, not bureaucracies, at the center.”
