Proud to be part of an ongoing American legacy that we can trace back to 1776. I hope even more American patriots will join us in the future. (No Kings Rally, Stillwater, OK, 18OCT25)

As a retired U.S. military member, I want to believe that my service helped defend free speech, even speech I found offensive.
There's a difference, however, between defending free speech and celebrating a life that hid behind free speech to promote racism, sexism, homophobia, and intolerance.

Opinion | West Point Is Supposed to Educate, Not Indoctrinate
As we pass the 250th birthday of the US Army, I want to recognize the moral courage of Dr. Graham Parsons. Parsons resigned his tenured position at West Point after being directed to indoctrinate rather than educate West Point cadets.

Thanks to Tulsa Chanel 2 for covering this event. I want to encourage everyone concerned with the deterioration of American democracy to do something - even if its just a small protest (every action counts). Don't just watch democracy die from the sidelines.

Oklahoma's per-pupil spending now dead last in region as teacher compensation slips
Nationally, only Idaho and Utah had a smaller per-pupil spending rate.#oklaed
Public education is the bulwark of a pluralistic democracy in which everyone has an opportunity to succeed. Through their "representative" political leaders, however, Oklahomans are rejecting such a democracy.

Well said. Every time we bring up wealth inequality, we're met with "whatabout" this relative who refused to work.
