The Oklahoma Teachers Unions are now beginning their sabotage offensive against the state's best and fastest-growing public education institutions.... the statewide virtual charter schools.
 Tomorrow the House Education Committee will likely call for passage of HB1395. It just one more layer of the same oppressive mountain of govt. regulations which now burden our traditional school districts.  While no single point of this bill will effectively end charter schools, it will have the same accumulative effect that a snow-laden mountain's avalanche has when the little village in the lower valley is wiped out. Not one single snowflake takes responsibility for any deaths, but gathered together, they bring swift & eminent death.
  The unions, administrators, and parents would do well to call for greater deregulation of all schools, so that the education process can be streamlined with 21st century innovations and provide each student a customized public education for about half the cost.
  That's what our virtual charter schools already do. And the Epic Charter Schools are the highest paid teachers in the state, earning compensations averaging $64,000 each year.
  Urge your lawmakers to begin the process of liberating our administrators from the ridiculous thousands of regulations they now have to comply with. We can have the best teachers in the nation, and pay them the best in the nation, if we would adopt just some of the core operational structure of the virtual public charter schools. 

 But instead, Rep. Sheila Dills and a whole host of new politicians who are owned by the education unions are determined to take down the charter schools which are humiliating their faculties and enrolling their former students.

Connecting with the legislature is more effective than most citizens will ever know. 
Lawmakers find it difficult to truly make wise decisions on policy unless they know the impact it has on the people whose lives are impacted.
  Sometimes a major decision will come down to a sincere and authentic contact by just one ordinary resident of the state.
That could be you and it could change your live and the lives of so many others.
 Be sure to talk with your own legislator, but also the members of a committee hearing bills that impact how you live.

analysis by David Van Risseghem: 

  The voters of Oklahoma created a political earthquake, last June, when they finally succeeded in a major state policy change. Cannabis medicines are now wrestled away from the controls of a nanny-state collection of cops and medical fascists.
Now the legislators are striking back. 
  Here are just a few of the 57 bills already written, filed, and assigned to committees.

SB763 by Sen. McCortney is very dangerous to patient privacy. It sets monthly caps on THC accumulative purchases. It would enable the OMMA to require dispensaries to report & keep a record of each & every purchase.
  It would also set us up for a ban on home-grow because that would render the restrictions as unenforceable.

SB764 More from Sen. McCortney. He wants your other healthcare providers to know all about your Cannabis Med referral. That way you can get kicked off Pain Meds.
  And all along I thought HIPPA was supposed to secure your health privacy. Ends up, it assures the govt. the complete access to your privacy, and the right to share your health info with whoever they decide to.

The Tulsa World perused through many of the 2800 new pieces of legislative proposals. Very few of them had any repealing language. Most of them are an attack on liberty and prosperity.
