Oklahoma’s government schools have been hijacked by the far left.

I don’t call them public schools. I call them what they are -- Government Schools. 

 

Over the last 25 years, Oklahoma taxpayers have injected massive amounts of cash into government schools. Yet the outcomes keep getting worse. 80% of students in government schools today can not read at grade level. That is shameful. 

 

Oklahoma’s education problems can be traced to two glaring issues:  Financial mismanagement and left-wing School Boards.

 

First, a recent audit of Tulsa Public Schools uncovered widespread fraud, waste, and abuse. Instead of teaching our kids, school administrators are squandering our tax money on radical DEI programs. To date, not one administrator has ever been held accountable.

This scandal was uncovered in just one school district. We can only imagine what is happening in our 500+ other school districts.

 

Fraud and DEI nonsense will end on my watch.

 

Second, we must move School Board election dates to align with national and statewide general elections. 

 

President Trump won every county in Oklahoma in the last three Presidential elections. So how do we have radical leftists sitting on our School Boards and working in our schools?

 

It’s because School Board elections are held on arbitrary dates throughout the year that fly under the radar of most voters. The elections are deliberately designed to suppress the conservative vote.

 

This scheme will end on my watch.
