Community Schools Are The Marxist Solution For Oklahoma Schools – Vote NO on HB1467 by West

Wednesday of this week (2.12.25) Representative Tammy West’s bill to “authorizing the State Board of Education to assist in establishing Community School pilot projects” is once again being heard in the Common Education Committee.

This is a national move to create schools that are all things to all parents – they would include everything from health care to psychological counseling. Here is a screenshot from the front page of their website.

Below is a one-pager I wrote when this bill first came up in 2022. In fact, that should say something in and of itself. Representative West keeps introducing this bill and it keeps getting voted down. Is it because our schools are already socially Marxist? Why does she keep bringing this up?

But then what do we know? When we wrote to the Common Education Committee members to ask them to vote against the bill, Former Senate author for West (and no longer in the senate) Dewayne Pemberton, assured members that he had been to a Community School in Tulsa (which made one of our points by the way) and that he hadn’t seen Karl Marx hiding behind the shrubs.

What Are Some Concerns With Community Schools?

HB3374 – Tammy West and Pemberton (Senate) – Community schools; authorizing the State Board of Education to assist in establishing community school pilot projects

(2025 BILL IS HB1647)

1.  President Obama placed Full Service Community Schools into the Elementary and Secondary Education Act in 2016.  They are called “full service” schools because they provide every need for a child that a family/parent would including education, counseling services, healthcare and nutrition. (https://www2.ed.gov/programs/communityschools/index.html)

2. The Biden Administration provided grants for Full Service Community Schools programs (https://oese.ed.gov/offices/office-of-discretionary-grants-support-services/school-choice-improvement-programs/full-service-community-schools-program-fscs/) through President Obama’s reauthorization of ESEA – the Every Student Succeeds Act. 

3.  There are two national organizations which help support the Community Schools model – Community Schools (communityschools.org) and the National Center For Community Schools (nccs.org)

            a. Community Schools have an agenda called “Policy by The People” the tenets for which they are lobbying Congress (https://www.communityschools.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/01/2021-01-13_IEL_PolicybythePeopleagenda_FINAL.pdf).  Here are a few points from their agenda which essentially involves expanding government programming and funding of every service involving children:

                        – Prioritization of populations that have historically experienced systemic racism, discrimination, and/or disinvestment

                        – End the school to prison pipeline/school pushout crisis through stronger enforcement of civil rights protections and incentives for a restorative approach including restorative justice, trauma-informed practices, and hiring additional school counselors, social workers, and psychologists

                        – Raise the minimum wage to $15/hour and/or establish a universal basic income

            b. National Center For Community Schools follow three principles: Transformation, Equity and Excellence.  The ‘Equity’ portion of the website says the following:  Strong community schools counter systemic racism, increase opportunity, and move society toward equity and justice.  Too many children are expected to overcome structures designed to diminish them. Schools should model anti-racism, not perpetuate systems that divide us and limit opportunity.  We want students to feel not just welcomed, but valued for their race, religion, identification, origin, family, and community.

4.  Community Schools follow the model proposed by John Dewey (a socialist with Marxist views often considered the father of modern education) of a ‘democratic school-based social center’ where the school provided every possible need for students.  An article in the AFT’s American Educator Magazine in Summer of 2009 – “The Enduring Appeal of Community Schools” – provides a quote from Dewey’s 1902 address, “The School as Social Centre”, “The conception of the school as a social centre is born of our entire democratic movement. Everywhere we see signs of the growing recognition that the community owes to each one of its members the fullest opportunity for development.”  This, a quote which can’t help comparison to the quote of Marx, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”.

5.  Enshrining a Community Schools pilot program in law while allowing the OSDE to create rules for that program is a recipe for creating further progressive, leftist inroads into the education of our children.

6.  Oklahoma communities HAVE BEEN creating their own Community Schools independent of state law.  The only reason to pass a state law, then, would be to allow the growth of the Community Schools movement throughout Oklahoma and provide the necessary validation for the Federal Government to provide tax dollars for these schools.  Federal/State tax dollars should NOT be provided for socialist, progressive education efforts in this country, let alone this state.

Please write the members of the Common Education Committee and ask for their NO vote on HB1467 by West. Just copy and paste the block of addresses and put them into your ‘to’ field.

Trump’s Is A Win AGAINST Authoritarian Government, But Only “If can keep it”

What a decisive victory for Trump, for the United States and for those of us who detest authoritarian government – as in Marxism, Communism or any other -ism. I’m extremely happy. I was at the point of believing that either America had become what the -isms have tried to make it since President Obama, or that Americans had just given up and jumped ahead into the acceptance stage of grief. Fortunately, it’s not over ’till it’s over and it’s apparently not over for now.

However, let me play your mom for just a bit:

1. Let’s go over the MOST IMPORTANT aspect of the election again. Americans DO NOT WANT COMMUNISM, MARXISM, or any other -ISM to replace INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY. THAT IS YUGE. They may not have gone into the voting booth knowing exactly what was causing their pain, but they knew enough to know that it was somehow coming from the Democrats. They may not even have thought of ‘personal liberty’ as an issue, but they knew they were becoming less and less free and that they had felt less confined under the 45th President.

2. Americans absolutely got what happened with the last election and were vigilant to SEEK OUT AND STOP voter manipulation to the best of their ability. There were MILLIONS of eyes trained on this election all the way through, across nearly every county in every state. This, again, is YUGE. Unfortunately, we’ve still got election laws that need to be changed in Oklahoma – as well as other states – and we can’t neglect continuously lobbying our legislature for those. More than anything, our country must go back to the Constitutional ONE DAY of voting, period, with absentee ballots used ONLY for those voters overseas, incapacitated and the military. That HAS to happen before 2028 is even a glimmer in Vance’s Presidential campaign.

NOW FOR THE BAD NEWS

3. Oklahoma voters didn’t turn out ONE SINGLE DISTRICT JUDGE. This means to me that while Oklahomans showed up to vote for Trump, they were not educated enough about the importance of our judiciary to study up on the District Judges – and this election, there was plenty of info out there to share. It either didn’t get shared widely enough, or people didn’t care enough to become educated. District judges who rule on ideology and don’t follow the Constitution make decisions that make a difference in the lives of every day Oklahomans for the worst. Yes, Trump may be in the White House, but if you have to go to court and a District Judge doesn’t provide justice in your case according to the law, you’re not going to be happy.

Why do I use the word ignorant? Because our public schools DO NOT TEACH THE CONSTITUTION OR CIVICS by and large. The only reason I know any civics or Constitution is because I TAUGHT MYSELF. What 18-year-old is going to think, “I don’t know how our government works. I think I’ll teach myself!”? I’ve homeschooled numerous of these and mine have been a tough sell!

4. Same exact thing for the Supreme Court justices. Advertising for and against was probably half and half – maybe more toward retention I’ll have to crunch the numbers – and people (accidentally, I think) voted out the oldest judge of the three by a margin of a few thousand votes. Again, this indicates to me that people weren’t informed, they were simply listening to the ads that resonated with them the most, not really casting an educated vote.

5. Oklahoma County was almost exactly half and half for and against Trump and several of our county Republican candidates just barely squeaked by with wins, well-indicating that the largest center of population in Oklahoma ISN’T RED. Let that sink in a minute. Where is all policy for the state made? Where is the largest power center in the state?

SO WHAT’S THE TAKEAWAY HERE?

I was very active during the 2010 Red Wave. For those who don’t remember, President Obama, elected in 2008, began signing Executive Orders like – well there wasn’t much of a previous comparison – but certainly the way his Marxist handlers wanted him to. He pushed ObamaCare, he pushed Education Reform (including Common Core), he increased taxes and more. People were mainly incensed about the country having socialized medicine and went to the polls during the mid-term to vote like their hair was on fire, for anyone with an ‘R’ behind their name who promised to stop Obamacare.

What happened?

Nothing. Not. A. Thing. The Republicans – including our then-Congresswoman Mary Fallin – all got elected, went up to the nation’s capitol, bloviated a lot about how they’d stop Obamacare AND DIDN’T! They totally let the American people down on their promises which jaded American voters for at least a decade.

So please, you simply CAN’T believe that Republicans – including Trump – have the keys to proper Constitutional governance. It’s WE THE PEOPLE that hold those keys and when we neglect to use them by demanding accountability from our elected representation for our voices or we’ll vote them out, we get what we’ve had in the recent past.

So, instead of going to bed tonight and sleeping like a rock thinking that Trump’s gonna “fix” the last 50 years of disastrous government overgrowth, make THIS the election the one that causes you to become involved in your LOCAL government and schools. Make THIS the election that you educate yourself about Federal and Local GOVERNMENT and how they are SUPPOSED. Get out and meet your elected officials, keep up with organizations keeping up with legislation and lobby them on important bills on your own behalf. I guarantee you paid lobbyists, the Chamber of Commerce and large corporations/companies are doing that and those folks ARE NOT FOR THE PEOPLE, they’re for the BOTTOM LINE! Take back your rightful place as citizen lobbyist as soon as the legislature opens in February.

Pay attention to organizations out there like ROPE2.org who are telling it like it’s actually happening – even when the Republicans are doing it!

And remember – our public K-12 schools and our colleges and universities are producing little leftists as fast as they can. REALIZE: IF YOU DON’T CHANGE THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS – or if you don’t remove your children from the system and homeschool with an emphasis on American National Government as provided by the Founders of this country – we will continue to be subjected to the nonsense and political upheaval we’ve had in America for the last 20 years.

You must get active in your school district; go to meetings, talk to your board members – or become one – and MAKE the schools account for their money, their programming and the time they have your kids. We won’t win another election if you don’t.

Yes, conservatives/Republicans have a presidential victory this November 2024, but as Ben Franklin said about our Republic after the Continental Congress passed the Constitution of the United States on September 17, 1787 – “if you can keep it”.

Author Joy Pullmann Joins Michael and Jenni To Discuss Her New Book

Wednesday, August 7th, 2024, Executive Editor of The Federalist, Joy Pullman, joined Jenni and Michael to discuss her new book, False Flag; Why Queer Politics Mean The End Of America.

You can find the full live video on our YouTube and Rumble channels.

Truly, this book needs to be purchased by as many people as possible and distributed to people in your circles who think gender politics are ‘not that big a deal’ – particularly to your pastor and those in your church who have no idea that the Pride movement is absolutely a ‘regime change’ meant to DESTROY FAMILIES AND CHRISTIANITY.

Why? As Joy writes in the Introduction to her book:

Stable families are a core societal precondition for limited government and self-rule. By destroying families, the identity politics state uses welfare to undermine the natural family’s private provision of human needs. When half of America’s citizens grow up in sexually chaotic homes, and all of us marinate in a sexually chaotic culture, only a minority of citizens will have the capacity for self-government. Thus a widespread lack of sexual virtue is an existential threat to both economic and social freedoms.

The book is a fast 300+ pages of 8 chapters. It is HEAVILY cited. Joy mentions why in her interview. She says she put a lot of time into documenting her statements because some of the subject matter can be so unbelievable, she wanted to make sure readers knew how to source her material in order to better earn their trust and understanding.

Chapter 8 is called, “Strategies For Counterrevolutionaries”. In this chapter, Pullmann gives example after example of what can be done to reverse the rainbow tide threatening to swallow not only Christians, but anyone who doesn’t want to bend the knee and kiss the ring of Marxist gender politics.

In the clip below, Pullmann encourages Americans who want to force the “love wins” brigade to keep to themselves and away from children and families.

At the end of our interview, I asked Joy to tell us about a book she wrote several years ago, “Classic Books For Young Children“, upon which she has expanded since its original publishing. Why, I asked her, is it so important for children to read classic literature and not the books written in the last several decades. Her answer is in-depth and specific. Please give it a listen and pass it on to those in your life who might need a little nudge to help find better literature influences for their kids – and/or grandkids.

As usual, please take the time to share these short videos with family and friends and visit our Rumble and YouTube channels for more videos on everything from education to the Green Agenda!
