ROPE Report Live - Janice Danforth; Surveys Given To Our Kids Can Be An Indoctrination Tool
So excited to have the woman from the organization that single-handedly drives Oklahoma leftists off the rails! Janice, Michael and Jenni will talk about the surveys that are being given to public school students in Oklahoma - surveys that expose students to information they may have never seen before that can be psychologically harmful and drive a wedge between parent and child.

ROPE Report Live - Ken Malloy; The North Star Project And Oklahoma School Boards
The NorthStar Project is a Think Tank formed last year to help assist in the reformation of Tulsa Public Schools. It is also very concerned with local School Board election - finding good, parent-centered, financially responsible candidates to run - and then to assist them with their elections.
So far this year, the NorthStar Project has sent about 5000 mailers inside 3 TPS voting districts announcing the need for good school board members. They have sent candidate surveys to every candidate running and then published the responses on its website. They then created a voter guide from the responses, which can be found at https://tpsrescue.org/independence-scorecard.html .
They have also helped to form another organization called the TPS Rescue Coalition to bring people together in support of their reform mission. The Board is made up of numerous Tulsa-area officials including, former OK AG John O'Connor, Glen Mulready, OK Insurance Commissioner and Vic Regalado, Tulsa County Sheriff.
We'll talk to Ken about what spawned his efforts and how well he thinks the group is doing in its efforts after its first year. If you're at all interested in how important School Boards are to the mission/direction of your school, you'll want to tune in to glean some ideas for yourself!

ROPE Report Live - V1SUT; Is Oklahoma Becoming A Censorship State?
Multiple waves of attack against the First Amendment rights of Oklahomans appear to be coalescing into a tsunami of censorship just in time for November elections. Is the Oklahoma legislature exploiting the death of a child to control your right to express your opinion on a myriad of topics? Could a bill that just passed the OK State Senate put you in jail over a social media post about faith, family or politics? Beyond the bill, pending cases before the Oklahoma State Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court will decide both your right to online speech and the government’s ability to control what information you can access. Bring a pen and paper…you’ll want to know what to say when you contact your representatives to stop the censorship and defend your 1A rights.

ROPE Report Live - Robin Carder; How Election Memes Can Get You Swatted in Oklahoma
Unfortunately, Karmin wasn't able to join us for her regularly-scheduled podcast, so Jenni and Michael spent the hour talking about the woman running against Frank Lucas - Robin Carder - and how she was SWATTED by the FBI for a meme she posted to Telegram about Oklahoma elections.
We also talked about how legislators in Oklahoma, sent out a press release that referred CHILDREN to the Trevor Project. Oklahoma is in a world of trouble, all across the board, from tyranny to legislators who make decisions that don't benefit Oklahoma students.

ROPE Report Live - Julianne Romanello; How Tax Exempt Foundations Are Destroying America
How many times have we said it here at ROPE? We fought so many non-profit organizations during the Common Core repeal in Oklahoma. Foundations that had money pouring in from private donors - like the Gates Foundation - to try and push a national curriculum down the throats of Americans, while poor parents just trying to prevent losing control over what their kid/s were learning in school had ZERO funds backing us up.
The Keizer Foundation pours MILLIONS of dollars into subsidizing day care for children - when we KNOW children are better off in their own homes with their own parents - yet no one sees the danger in starting children in a learning program subsidized by a left-leaning Foundation as early as 3 months old!
Julianne will talk with us about how non-profit organizations today not only influence education, but nearly every other aspect of our lives as well! You won't want to miss this, but check out this interview first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUYCBfmIcHM

ROPE Report LIVE! Whitney Mullica From PikeOffOTA Will Join Us! Don't Miss This!
Whitney Mullica is with a group called PikeOffOTA - a nonpartisan, non-profit group dedicated to protecting property rights and government expansion. The group was formed after the announcement of the Access Oklahoma program by Governor Stitt and the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority. Pike Off OTA’s focus originated in an effort to prevent the development of two proposed turnpikes, the East-West Connector and the South Extension, and reduce the overreaching impact of the Oklahoma Transportation Authority.
Recently, head of the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, Tim Gatz, was removed as Secretary of Transportation and the Executive Director of the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority - all three positions which he simultaneously held - after an opinion by AG Drummond said that no individual can simultaneously hold three positions within transportation.
Join Michael and Jenni as they talk to Whitney about PIKEOFFOTA, its mission and its concerns!

ROPE Report Live; Jenni And Michael Talk Edmond Public School's Refusal To Ditch Bad Books
Recently, the Oklahoma State Board of Education adopted new rules (which still have to be approved by the OK Legislature) that would downgrade the accreditation of schools for having "Pornographic material or Sexualized content" available to minors on campus (https://sde.ok.gov/sites/default/files/FINAL%20210.35-3-121%20Prohibiting%20Pornographic%20Materials.pdf).
While many parents applauded this rule, Superintendent of Edmond Public Schools, Angela Grunwald says that her school's accreditation should not be downgraded due to 'curriculum' choices. Apparently, the books Glass Castle and Kite Runner, which have been used in the EPS high school English curriculum for many years, were reported to the Oklahoma State Department of Education through the Awarity system - an online program which accepts complaints about Oklahoma public schools originally set up to report bullying incidents. Once the books were reported, OSDE told EPS that they must remove the books according to the new rule, or have their accreditation downgraded.
Instead of removing the books from the curriculum and EPS' library system, Grunwald is electing to use taxpayer funds to pay attorneys to thwart taxpayers by taking their case to the Oklahoma Supreme Court to STOP the OSDE from downgrading the school while keeping books that parents have objected to since 2016 (https://thefederalist.com/2016/03/15/parents-shouldnt-let-schools-force-kids-to-read-smut/). A formal complaint was field with EPS in 2017 regarding both books.
We'll be showing evidence of the complaints and pointing out various inconsistencies in Grunwald's video 'explainer' to parents of why they're using taxpayer dollars to stop taxpayer complaints.

ROPE Report Live; V1SUT - Oklahoma Coach Rape Club
Our ROPE Regular substack blogger V1SUT was live with Jenni and Michael (2.21.24 - this video has been edited to remove photos) to talk about two pieces of her latest research - the story of Swadley's barbeque restaurant who was accused by the state of fraudulent business practices and the story of several Oklahoma high school sports coaches who, witnesses say, raped (or had inappropriate relationships with) players while they were employed by the district.
During the late 1990's and early 2000's, a group of Oklahoma Public School coaches from the Little Axe Public School district, had inappropriate sexual relationships with students.
Recently, a brave young woman has come forward to our blogger to reveal that she was raped by her high school softball coach while on spring break in Padre Island, Texas during that time. Despite being told by the Oklahoma State Department of Education that she should collect her own evidence and THEN maybe the OSDE could help her, she began contacting former teammates and others only to find out that this didn't happen just to her.
Sadly, these coaches have never had charges brought against them - or been fired from their teaching/coaching positions. Instead, they have simply moved to another school where they were often covered for by district administration.

ROPE Report Live; Amber and Terry Evans - We've Looked Into Oklahoma's Voter Roles And Have Concerns
(Pre-recorded) Amber and Terry Evans move to Oklahoma in 2018 after Terry's retirement from 22 years in the Army. The Evans have been married 25 years and have lived all over the United States and the world, but were not very political until they saw the trainwreck of 2020. Naturally inquisitive people, conversations between them led to more questions, which led them to start connecting with other people in Oklahoma and across the country.
They were curious to know if Oklahoma had similar election process shortcomings they ad seen in different parts of the country. Through open source documents, data and various other lawful means, they gathered puzzle pieces to help peel back some layers and found that most of their concerns lie with the Oklahoma voter roles and procedures.

ROPE Report Live - Wendy Dial on Election Integrity; What Is HAVA?
Wendi will talk with us about HAVA funds. Why is Oklahoma taking federal funds for our elections?
"HAVA Election Security grants are formula grants that were first appropriated in 2018 (Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018). Authorized under Title I Section 101 of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), the Election Security grant program marked the first new HAVA appropriation since 2010. Election Security funding provides states with additional resources to improve the administration of elections for federal office, including to enhance technology and make certain election security improvements.
HAVA Election Security funding is available to states and U.S. territories as defined by HAVA and the Consolidated Appropriations Acts of 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2023."
ATTENTION: The portion about the online voter portal is WRONG. Representative Eric Roberts ran - and passed - a bill last year to make sure that all that information was password protected. We didn't go far enough through the portal on the livestream. To change any information there, you must have a social security number and/or password. Thank you Rep. Roberts!
