As Oklahomans, we know the importance of educating to not repeat the mistakes of the past. We need your help in reminding our legislators that censoring conversations on diversity moves us in the wrong direction. Last week, the House of Representatives advanced HB1775, a bill that keeps our children and college students from seeing the full picture of our history. The legislature used this bill, originally designed to combat brain injuries and concussions in sports, to ban gender diversity trainings at colleges and prevent K-12 schools from teaching about race and gender. Education can be a tool to expand minds, and the legislature shouldn’t form barriers to learning. Our only hope to keep this dangerous legislation from becoming law is urging Governor Stitt to veto the bill. Please take time today, before it’s too late, to call Governor Stitt at 405-521-2342 and write him a comment urging him to veto HB1775.
