The University of Oklahoma will not make incoming students take a newly created diversity course due to legislation recently becoming state law.
House Bill 1775, the OU Daily reports , limits the teaching of critical race theory-based ideas such as the notion that whites are inherently racist.
Governor Kevin Stitt signed the bill two weeks ago.
As a result, the university had to “adapt to the changing landscape” and make the new “Gateway to Belonging” course an option rather than a requirement — as it was intended.
OU Director of Media Relations Kesha Keith told the Daily that “although students can choose to not take Gateway to Belonging or take the class as incoming students in the fall semester, they will have to fulfill the First-Year Experience General Education requirement with one of […] three classes.”

OU Executive Director of Government Affairs John Woods claimed legislators and many others are simply ignorant about critical race theory-based instruction: Woods said [HB 1775’s] terms were “very poorly defined” and “very poorly articulated and incorrect in a lot of areas,” such as the definition of critical race theory. According to the bill text, teachers, administrators or employees of state colleges may not teach course concepts such as “one race or sex is inherently superior to another race or sex” or that “an individual should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment solely or partly because of his or her race or sex.” … “It’s important for all of us to know that the perception of not just a majority of our Oklahoma legislators, but legislators across the country, (and) a variety of constituency groups across the country … do not have a fair and accurate understanding of what CRT [critical race theory] is or what diversity, equity and inclusion work is and what it really means,” Woods said. “They have … a very narrow, skewed view. So, I do think there is an obligation to educate, not just our students, but (also) external audiences.” Gateway to Belonging was created in response to the so-called Black […]

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
