The Oklahoma State Board of Education disciplined both Tulsa Public Schools and Mustang Public Schools last week for reportedly violating a law preventing Critical Race Theory from being taught in public schools.
The state board determined at a meeting on Thursday that the two school districts violated HB 1775 , which broadly prohibits race- or sex-based discrimination.
The two school boards were given “accreditation with warning” as a disciplinary action, which is the third of five accreditation tiers, Fox 25 reported. The state board voted 4 to 2 in favor of disciplinary actions against both schools.
The board reviewed a complaint filed against Tulsa Public Schools claiming that a third-party vendor provided training to teachers, but not to students, in August 2021, months before HB 1775 went into effect
Some Democratic state lawmakers criticized the board’s decision against Tulsa.
“First of all, again, no evidence has been presented in this body and there are board members saying they don’t have the evidence but they are taking votes on something that is really significant,” Rep. Regina Goodwin, D – Tulsa, said.
The complaint about Mustang Public Schools, filed in January 2022, was against a teacher for performing an anti-bullying activity with students.
Mustang Superintendent Charles Bradley said the school district was shocked by the board’s decision.”I don’t know how a reasonable person could discern that this was coming,” he wrote in a statement.The districts both said they made changes immediately following the complaints.
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
