Legislative update

SB 21, the Religious Viewpoints Antidiscrimination Act by Allen has been referred to the Judiciary Committee and SB 665, the Oklahoma Science Education Act by Brecheen has been referred to the Senate Education Committee.

Both of these bills have been discussed previously on this website.

A previous and very similar version of SB 21 was discussed 4 years ago here: https://www.oklahomascienceteachersassociation.org/?p=2553

And SB 665 was discussed last month here: https://www.oklahomascienceteachersassociation.org/?p=6162

NOW is the time to contact your Senator as well as members of the Senate Judiciary and Education Committees to express you opinions about these two bills.

Important note to those of you who teach in Oklahoma Public Schools… Contacting your legislator on these matters during school time and on a school district computer is not recommended.  Taking action as a citizen is a spare-time activity best done on your computer using your email address at your home.
