[QUOTE="SMS, post: 3107262, member: 42"] ...and not just Lawton. All these folks who got all hot and bothered by the State legislature probably need to look a little closer to home. Go to Ballotpedia and look at the results of school board elections across the state. Lots of races in 2017 were canceled because the incumbent was unopposed. Others had abysmally poor voter turnout: [B]Last year's Tulsa public schools board election had a whopping 588 votes cast in the board election...in a district with the second highest enrollment in the state. [/B]The teachers from Tulsa who walked all that way to OKC could've spared some blisters and started locally. Need textbooks for your district? Get a bond issue on the ballot and pay for them within your district instead of expecting everyone else in the state to buy them for you, or use the money allocated to your district by the state for general education funding and make damn sure your school board puts the money where it is supposed to go.
