OK House Democrats CC

Fifty years ago, our nation made a promise: every child has a right to an education, and disability will not be a barrier. We cannot abandon that promise now.

💙🧡🇺🇸

We are Oklahoma House Democrats.

Proud to stand with @CyndiMunsonOK for better mental health care for more Oklahomans!

We did not get to 50th in quality of public education overnight or just with RW. The GOP supermajority has been focused on: tax cuts for the wealthiest, tax cuts for corporations, public dollars for private school vouchers for the wealthy. Outcome? Less investments in public schools that lower class sizes & increase teacher pay. #oklaed

Oklahoma has everything it needs to get the education outcomes our kids deserve — smart, curious kids, loving and supportive families and communities, dedicated and passionate teachers and… the opportunity for a new State Superintendent of Education! We are ready. Let’s Keep Going!

He’s leaving our education system worse than how he found it, and he’s taking his attention-seeking, divisive show national. I’m glad he’s not going to be in charge of our public schools anymore—but not looking forward to his future stunts, either.

Better together 💪

All we ask is that the public offer the same amount of grace and dignity to him that he offers to all teachers and students.
