After spending nearly a decade heavily involved in politics, it's quite a departure for me to admit I can't name all the candidates running for Lt. Governor off the top of my head. I'll be honest...I'm not even sure I can name all 27 - or however many - gubernatorial candidates. Sadly, I'm not dying about it. Why? I'm still plugged in enough to know who to go to for...

What On Earth Could Be Wrong With Student Activism?
May 06, 2018 at 05:08PM -
Though it definitely frustrated me to see teachers leave their classrooms and picket the legislature for more taxpayer funding of public education - shutting down some schools for as many as two full weeks - the level of activism displayed by high school students on this issue bothered me more.

Parent Guest Post: What I Learned From The 2018 Teacher's Strike
April 17, 2018 at 10:09AM -
Attribution: ABC news This post was sent to me by "Elizabeth": I have never thought of myself as any kind of activist. I have never marched in protest or in support of anything that I can remember. It isn’t that I don’t have opinions – I definitely have them. There are often facets to issues or politics that I don’t understand or, more likely, haven’t taken the time to research. But...

Can A School Force Your Child To Take State Tests?
April 14, 2018 at 06:28PM -
Today I received a communication from a ROPE reader. She told me she had received a letter from her Assistant Principal in response to her request to opt her child/children out of state testing. The letter said, in part: As guided by the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE), indicating laws and rules set by our legislature, we are required to assess all enrolled students who are present...

No, The Independent Audit Commission is NOT Tasked With Auditing The OSDE
April 09, 2018 at 05:45PM -
Last week, ROPE created a website with a petition to AUDIT THE OSDE. Two things: 1. NO, we are NOT collecting signatures for a referendum vote on the taxes passed during this session by our legislature. Yes, there is a group to do that - Oklahoma Taxpayers Unite. Have we shared their information? YES. But here's the kicker - if we wanted you to sign their referendum petition, we'd ASK YOU TO...

IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED - Help Stop Wind Tax Credits And Put That Money Back Into The Budget For Education And Other Needs
April 08, 2018 at 08:28PM -
While some are asking where money can be found to fund core government needs in Oklahoma, one simple answer is ending corporate welfare to the Corporate Wind Industry! If we don't do something truly meaningful this session, another $70 million dollars is going to LITERALLY be "Gone with the Wind" when it could have, instead, gone to meet other state needs.
