    Idiots can’t read.

    The First Amendment protects this freedom through both the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause. The Establishment Clause prevents the government from establishing or endorsing a state religion, while the Free Exercise Clause protects individuals’ right to practice their religion without government interference.

      Oklahoma spent the early 2010’s wasting tax payer dollars with this horseshit. They don’t care.

        It’s really about the votes, you know, to help get higher lobbying rates

          You mean the conspiracy by multiple Neo Nazis? Where only Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols faced any real consequences - while Micheal and Lori Fortier walked free?

          While the cult compound which outfitted them operates to this day?

          I wonder why Terrence Yeakey decided to slit his own wrists and shoot himself in the back… it’s not like the FBI was invented because Oklahoma was covering for racist bombers or anything…

    Many of the same R’s advocating for this bill were also wanting a bill that would bar homeless shelters from operating anywhere other than OKC and Tulsa.

    Oklahoma ranks 49th for education. It is a point of pride for most districts if all of their teaching staff hold a bachelors degree.

    47th in health and well-being.

    2nd for women killed by men.

    HCR 1013, which would proclaim in Oklahoma that “Christ is King,” arguing that it excludes Oklahomans who identify with other religions as well as Oklahomans who are not religious

    So… Christ is who Christians worship. Glad the legislature could clear that up for us.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
