We Oklahomans are under daily attack by a woke mob of radical liberal social engineers, big government bureaucrats from Washington, and hard-left activists who want to end Oklahoma as we know it.

 

Their anti-Oklahoma world is a bizarre, woke place where God is chiseled from our monuments, American history is erased from the classroom, pronouns replace your name, speech codes replace free speech, and the American flag is banned for display because it offends someone.

 

In the woke, anti-Oklahoma world, they can’t define what a woman is, they allow men to play in women’s sports – which denies women a fair chance to win an open competition or earn a life-changing scholarship – and they want young women to have the right to get an abortion without their parent’s consent, even though that same young woman needs a permission slip from their parents to go on a school field trip.

 

The radical woke mob promotes divisive critical race theory, imposing the flawed doctrine of diversity, equity, and inclusion, which destroys individual liberty and merit, pushing indoctrination instead of education. I’ll change DEI into DIE and give it a proper funeral.

We support President Trump’s goal to eliminate federal spending on radical woke projects embedded in our overgrown bureaucracies. As governor, one of my very first executive orders will be to reject federal dollars tied to woke mandates.
