Sen Bullard Files Bill To Make Cannabis Medicines 'In the Shape of A Marijuana Leaf'

1/7/2022

Comments

 
  Sen. David Bullard wants Cannabis Butter to only be sold in units shaped in the form of a cannabis leaf. Never mind that the products already have extensively regulated packaging rules requiring specific labels with a long list of required information.
  The new bill would change all that and have every item sold in completely clear packaging.  For many cannabis medicines, the labels are much larger than the product. 

  Of the thousands of medical marijuana innovations, the infused food products may be the most interesting to observe. One of the most popular ways for some patients to take meds is cannabis butter. But cannabis meds are also sold in ice cream products, chocolates, and the convenient gummy squares. 
  It allows patients suffering epilepsy, anxiety, PTSD, cancer, osteo-arthritis, and other chronic disorders to avoid smoking their meds. More importantly, the squares allow patients to more accurately measure their meds to avoid over-medicating. the sleep aids are especially common to be sold in chocolate or gummy form.  Insomnia sufferers have to carefully measure and cut the squares into doses that enhance a good night's sleep, without overmedicating.
  
  The laws and agency rules have added huge costs to consumers, for a medicine that has been a 'godsend' to those who've successfully weaned off opioids with the help of cannabis. While the govt. or insurance routinely paid for the opioids, not one insurance company provides any benefit for the cannabis alternatives.
  In the file below, Bullard's new language is underlined, as amendments to the existing language.

Sen. Standridge Files Private School Voucher Bill

1/7/2022

Comments

 
  A Major new legislative initiative was recently filed by Sen. Rob Standridge. It creates a scholarship specifically for Oklahoma public school students who attest that their religious liberties are offended by their local public school.
  • The new law provides a scholarship for the parents to put toward the approved private school of their choice. The parents assume all other financial obligations of the private school enrollment. 
  • The scholarship is comparable to the current state funding levels for public schools. 
  • Local funding of public schools is not affected by this new law.
  • Only students currently enrolled in Oklahoma public schools for 1 year or more, are eligible.
  • The deadline for transfers is Dec. 1st.

Rep. Ty Burns' Bill To Mandate King James Bible In Public Schools

1/7/2022

Comments

 
It's filing time for the 2022 legislature, and thousands of ideas are coming in, in the guise of making Oklahoma a better place for all of us.
  Rep. Ty Burns(R-Pawnee) just filed an amendatory bill with an emergency clause for a more immediate implementation. It includes the following changes to current laws authorizing religious studies in public high schools.
  •  A licensed minister may teach the elective class as a non-paid volunteer.
  • The King James Bible shall be the primary text of any bible classes.
  • The school library must have a King James Bible.
  The framework for high school bible electives is already law in Oklahoma. Burns merely adds some changes. One benefit of Burns' bill is that the King James is not subject to copyright royalty payments. It's a cheap text that the Gideon Bible Society often donates to students and schools.
  One ambiguity of Burns' amendment is whether the clergy would have to be also a qualified social studies teacher with a valid Oklahoma teaching certificate? That can easily be amended in committee by adding the word 'and' or 'or' at the beginning of the 2nd sentence of Section 11-103.11. E.

Rep. Ty Burns is expected to elaborate more about his King James Bill.
  For many Christians, one concern might be whether Burns is one of those whose motivation is a belief that the King James is the only 'anointed' translation to English. While that's not a bias toward a particular sect or denomination, it is essentially it's own sectarian mindset.
  If Burns is merely eliminating petty objections of school administrators to implementation of Religious electives in public schools (such as copyright law & qualified instructors), then he ought to be commended for this.
  My guess is that he'll be conveniently assumed to be a 'King James Only' advocate. But regardless of Burns' own convictions, the amendments could serve effective purposes and allow students a better liberal arts education in public schools.

We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement...

 Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.​
