Governor Defends Decision to Close State’s PBS Station Over ‘Indoctrination and Over-Sexualization of Children’ Including Reading of Kids’ Book About Drag Queen’s Hips

/0 Comments/in , /by

Oklahoma’s governor has defended his decision to defund his state’s PBS affiliate over children’s programs he deemed inappropriate – including a drag queen reading a story to children.

Kevin Stitt, a Republican, blocked the funding for the state’s PBS station through to 2026 with the move, listing several shows on OETA that it finds ‘objectionable’.

Shows on the network include ‘Sesame Street,’ ‘Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,’ and ‘Clifford The Big Red Dog’ – which features lesbian parents. The network will cease operations this year unless legislature overrides the veto.

The governor’s office claims that a segment of ‘Let’s Learn’ was objectionable, with a children’s book titled ‘The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish’ being read by Lil Miss Hot Mess.

Speaking to Fox News Digital, Stitt said: ‘OETA, to us, is an outdated system. You know, the big, big question is why are we spending taxpayer dollars to prop up or compete with the private sector and run television stations?

Judge: Sperm-Donor Baby Belongs With Mother and Father, Not Mom’s Lesbian Ex

/0 Comments/in , /by

An Oklahoma judge ruled on Thursday that a baby created for a lesbian couple using purchased sperm belongs with his biological mother and father, not his mom’s female ex.

Kris Williams argued that because she helped raise the toddler with her now ex-wife Rebekah Wilson and since she is listed on his birth certificate, she deserves full parental rights. Oklahoma County District Judge Lynne McGuire rejected that claim and said that Oklahoma law detailing parentage trumps the state’s legalization of same-sex marriage.

“[The act] does not take into account same-sex marriage, and there is no presumption that the wife of the mother is automatically presumed the parent of a child born during the marriage,” McGuire wrote.

Williams, McGuire said, “was able to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that she acted in a parental role during her marriage” but ultimately, “there was no evidence presented regarding the length of time it would take to establish a ‘meaningful emotional relationship with the child.’”

That meant giving Harlan Vaughn, the couple’s sperm supplier who is now in a relationship with Wilson, full parental rights. McGuire said Williams, who never legally adopted the child nor birthed him, did not qualify for a “mother–child relationship” under state law.

Senators Spar Over Training Ukrainian Troops in the State

/0 Comments/in , /by

The use of Oklahoma’s federal military training grounds to prepare Ukrainian soldiers to use high-tech American weaponry in their war against Russia has state senators bitterly divided.

Sen. Nathan Dahm, R-Broken Arrow, filed a resolution to prevent the Pentagon from sending the 100 Ukrainian troops to the Sooner State.

“This resolution rejects this attempt by the feds to put foreign troops in Oklahoma,” Dahm said in a statement. “It even encourages the governor, county officials, and law enforcement to use their powers to prohibit these foreign troops from being on Oklahoma soil.” . . .

Dahm said the move was part of the “America Last” policies that “should not be tolerated in Oklahoma.”

“We saw how recently the Ukrainian military fired a rocket into Poland killing two innocent civilians,” Dahm said. “We certainly don’t need them practicing here in Oklahoma where our citizens could be under the constant threat of a similar failure. We shouldn’t be allowing the unaccountable spending, corruption, and potential money laundering to now flow through Oklahoma with the presence of foreign troops on our land.” (Read more from “Senators Spar Over Training Ukrainian Troops in the State” HERE)

Transgender Student Charged for Alleged Violent Assault of Two Girls in School Bathroom

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A transgender high school student has been charged after allegedly assaulting two female students in the girls bathroom at an Oklahoma high school, leaving them with injuries.

The alleged incident occurred on October 26 at Edmond Memorial High School, just north of Oklahoma City, according to the police report, which was obtained by the feminist outlet Reduxx.

A police officer responded to the school at around 8 a.m. to reports of a fight. He found a female student in the nurse’s office who had suffered injuries to her face and head, including “several red areas” on her face. Both of her eyes were starting to swell up, the officer noted in the report.

The trans-identifying student, a biological male, reportedly approached one of the girls in the bathroom while she was speaking with friends and attempted to talk to her, but she ignored him. He then became angry and approached her with balled fists, asking if she “wanted to fight,” according to the report.

The student then allegedly hit the female victim in the face, pulled her hair, and forced her to the ground where he kicked her in the face and punched her repeatedly. The girl indicated to police that the attack was forceful enough to prevent her from fighting back.

WIN: Oklahoma Man Allowed to Sue Local School Board Members for Cutting His Mic Because He Spoke About God

/0 Comments/in , /by

A state judge in Oklahoma has refused to dismiss a lawsuit which alleges that a local school board turned off a public microphone because a man used “a Biblical worldview” to frame his comments.

Back in April, Brice Chaffin spoke at a public school board meeting in Stillwater, Oklahoma, about 65 miles north of Oklahoma City and the home of Oklahoma State University. Though the board had not planned to discuss rules related to bathroom use at schools, many in the audience, including Chaffin, elected to speak about the topic nonetheless.

Many residents wanted to weigh in on the issue since the board had recently updated its anti-discrimination policy to include “gender identity,” which meant that students could use the bathroom which corresponds to their “gender [identities],” rather than their biological sexes.

Chaffin began his comments by arguing for the reality of God and the necessity of accepting Jesus. When board members then asked Chaffin to speak about the bathroom topic at hand, Chaffin hinted at his opposition to “gender identity” as a concept and the related bathroom issue by referencing the Bible.

“So, I talked about physical laws,” Chaffin said. “We have spiritual laws. We also have natural laws. Natural law, for instance, one natural law is that on the day God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. He created them male and female. So, we have males and females.” (Read more from “Oklahoma Man Allowed to Sue Local School Board Members for Cutting His Mic Because He Spoke About God” HERE)

‘Pro-life Spider-Man’ Scales Oklahoma Building In Latest Anti-Abortion Stunt (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A man who calls himself the “pro-life Spider-Man” scaled Oklahoma’s tallest skyscraper on Tuesday in his latest stunt for anti-abortion activism.

Local police said they were aware Tuesday morning of a person climbing the 844-foot-tall Devon Tower in downtown Oklahoma City and advised residents to avoid the area. Once he successfully climbed to the top, Maison Des Champs was met by first responders and police and taken into custody.

“This morning a climber scaled the side of Devon Tower. We are happy to report that he is now safe,” Devon Energy tweeted. “A huge THANK YOU to our local OKC emergency responders for getting here quickly and taking action.”

Des Champs, 23, will only face a trespassing complaint following the climbing stunt, according to the Oklahoma City Police Department. The daredevil climber is a finance student originally from Michigan and has climbed multiple skyscrapers with nothing but a chalk bag and clothes on his back in an effort to raise money for anti-abortion organizations. Another person who was operating a camera drone was also taken into custody, police said.

Oklahoma Legislature Passes Bill Banning Most Abortions

/0 Comments/in , /by

Count Oklahoma among the states that will nearly outlaw all abortions in the event the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.

Passed in the Oklahoma House on Thursday with a vote of 73-16, the bill aims to have the strictest anti-abortion laws in the nation, banning the practice after conception with only a few exceptions thereafter for rape and incest, but only if such a crime has been reported to law enforcement. Similar to the Texas law, the bill also allows other citizens to file a lawsuit against anyone who “aids or abets” someone in having an abortion. Per the New York Times:

The measure is modeled on a law that took effect in Texas in September, which has relied on civilian instead of criminal enforcement to work around court challenges. Because of that provision — the law explicitly says state authorities cannot bring charges — the U.S. Supreme Court and state courts have said they cannot block the ban from taking effect, even if it goes against the constitutional right to abortion established in Roe v. Wade.

The Oklahoma ban goes further than the Texas law, which bans abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy.

“There can be nothing higher or more critical than the defense of innocent, unborn life,” Republican State Rep. Jim Olsen said on the Oklahoma House floor Thursday. (Read more from “Oklahoma Legislature Passes Bill Banning Most Abortions” HERE)

Oklahoma State House Approves Bill to Make Abortion Illegal

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Oklahoma House gave final legislative approval on Tuesday to a bill that would make performing an abortion a felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

With little discussion and no debate, the Republican-controlled House voted 70-14 to send the bill to Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, who has previously said he’d sign any anti-abortion bill that comes to his desk. . .

The Oklahoma bill, which passed the Senate last year, makes an exception only for an abortion performed to save the life of the mother, said GOP state Rep. Jim Olsen, of Roland, who sponsored the bill. Under the bill, a person convicted of performing an abortion would face up to 10 years in prison and a $100,000 fine.

“The penalties are for the doctor, not for the woman,” Olsen said. (Read more from “Oklahoma State House Approves Bill to Make Abortion Illegal” HERE)

Democratic Candidate Got Drunk at Slumber Party, Cursed at 12-Year Olds, Report Claims

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Democratic candidate for the House of Representatives in Oklahoma swore at 12- and 13-year-olds and vomited on a pair of shoes after becoming intoxicated, according to several reports.

Abby Broyles, who is currently running against Republican Rep. Stephanie Bice in Oklahoma’s Fifth District, called three girls “f*ckers” during a Valentine’s Day slumber party, according to a report from NonDoc. Broyles also threw up in a laundry basket and onto one girl’s shoes, according to Sarah Matthews, the mother of one of the attendees.

“It’s so sad, because this is someone who has stood on a soap box and talked about empowering women, and rather than do that with these girls she chose to belittle and denigrate the next generation of women,” Matthews said.

Matthews told the Daily Caller that Broyles has not yet apologized for her behavior.

“I am still trying to process this,” she added. (Read more from “Democratic Candidate Got Drunk at Slumber Party, Cursed at 12-Year Olds, Report Claims” HERE)
