PLEASE TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION - Privacy Threat Imminent

November 12, 2017 at 04:44PM -
These Three Data Collection Bills Could Ruin Your Life Though I've been remiss in my blogging life of late, information on several new bills coming up for votes in Congress this week (11.13.17), could have immense consequences on the ability of parents to control the personal data being shared pertaining to their children, and older students to control the amount of data being collected on...

Led By Idiots? Yes. Sadly.

April 01, 2017 at 10:00PM -
This morning I read a very short article from The Federalist publisher Ben Domenech. It's called, "Consider the Possibility That We Are Led by Idiots". This is a very short read and very skeptical, but I can corroborate every word he's written just from the knowledge I've accumulated at the very low level at which I've worked trying to influence government. Here is a...

5 Problems With Jenks High School's Sex Ed 'Backlash'

March 30, 2017 at 02:08AM -
I loved Kindergarten Cop. Nearly every classroom scene is hysterical, but the one where Joseph, a 6-year-old whose father is a Gynecologist, feels the need to perform a knowledge dump of sorts on substitute teacher Schwarzenegger's boss (Principal Phoebe) after the sub's particularly rough morning, always cracks me up. As a child of the 1960's, I remember watching the movie and...

Senate HHS Committee Votes YES on SB83 - Because, Well, It Supports Parental Choice AFTER Parents Jump Through Hoops

February 28, 2017 at 03:34AM -
Why am I continually surprised at the lack of knowledge our government officials possess about the principles of good government? Today, as I watched a live feed, the Senators in the Senate Health and Human Services Committee voted to PASS SB83 (video from a life Facebook feed below). This bill by Senator Ervin Yen ORIGINALLY revoked the exemption for children to attend public school if their...

Is Senator Ron Sharp Oklahoma's Version of Ron Burgundy?

February 26, 2017 at 11:28PM -
One to file under the heading of "GOOD GRIEF"!  I just read an article by Jay Chilton who was apparently in the Senate Education Committee hearing when Senator Sharp - Vice-Chair of the Senate Education Committee - opined about Rob Standridge's bill (SB560) on school choice. Chilton quotes Sharp as saying,  I have told other senators I call this bill the "Dr. Josef Mengele...
