Defending Freedom

Amendments related to the Oklahoma Children's Code on pages 32, 33 and 42.

A 7 page bill: All personally identifiable educational data relating to a minor child is the property of the parent until the student reaches 18. State agencies and contractors shall act only as custodians--not owners.No state education agency or local school district shall sell, trade, or license any student data for commercial purposes. Parents have the right to 1) complete records of all data elements collected or maintained on his or her child by any state education agency or local school district. 2)Opt out of any nonessential collection or data linkage beyond what is required by state or federal 3. Opt out of inclusion in any research study, predictive analytics model, artificial intelligence training dataset, or cross agency workforce linkage. 4) Receive annual written notice from the school district and SDE listing data elements collected and all authorized data-sharing agreements. No personally identifiable educational data shall be collected unless expressly authorized by state or federal law. New data elements proposed for collection by the SDE shall receive legislative approval following public notice and hearing. Personally identifiable student data shall not be transferred to any federal or state agencies, including but not limited to, workforce, health, or human services agencies, or to any private contractor or nonprofit organization without the written consent of the parent. Any data-sharing arrangement between multiple agencies shall be disclosed publicly on website The SDE shall develop a standardized Parent Data Opt-Out Form which shall exclude the applicable student's records from longitudinal and cross-agency linkage. Penalties for vendor violations.

This is a good measure to prevent data being collected, transmitted, sold, etc without parental consent. This opt out is very important. This piece further protects individual liberties, beyond parental rights. This should clarify as to it's authority to also apply to actions/contracts engaged in by the OSDE.

If a securities intermediary does not have sufficient interests in a particular financial asset to satisfy both its obligations to entitlement holders who have security entitlements to that financial asset and its obligation to a creditor of the securities intermediary who has a security interest in that financial asset, the claims of entitlement holders, other than the creditor, have priority over the claim of the creditor. (This means if a bank fails, YOU get your assets FIRST-- NOT the bank like your 401K, IRA, stocks, unpaid mortgage balance and equity, etc.).

Prevents Sharia Law from overriding our Constitution

Moral values and common sense.

Employees are prohibited from drinking on the job or being inebriated in the private sector, so why are supposed "servants of the people" allowed to do so? A moral and common-sense refrainment!

Sad that this is necessary, but apparently it is. Thank you for this bill!

Thank you for understanding the urgency of the need for this common sense legislation.

Protects basic fundamental human rights

All this does is GOING FORWARD all build outs or retirements of electric generating plants that they WANT THE RATE PAYER TO PAY FOR have to be justified with "assessments, statements" basically red tape paperwork to the Corp. Commission before they APPROVE IT ANYWAY! And on top of that, I'm sure they would ADD IN ALL THEIR COSTS for man hours paid to do all the red tape hoop jumping it costs them. So the electric rate payers will end up PAYING FOR THAT TOO!

Great way to protect wasteful spending on our hard earned dollars.

I support SB 2028 because it expands consumer choice and supports small farmers by allowing limited, direct sales of ungraded raw milk and related products. To strengthen the bill without changing its intent, a few clarifications are needed so producers clearly understand what is allowed, consumers receive consistent notice, and enforcement remains fair and predictable rather than discretionary.

1: Clear Consumer Notice Standard

Example:A producer selling ungraded raw milk posts a simple, visible notice at the point of sale and on containers stating that the product is not inspected or regulated.

Why:Without a clear, consistent notice standard, producers could face uneven enforcement based on subjective judgments about what “notification” means.

2: Defined Scope of “Incidental Sales”

Example:A small farm selling raw milk directly to families understands that “incidental sales” means small-scale, supplemental sales tied to on-farm production—not a commercial retail operation.

Why:Clarifying this prevents confusion and stops future expansion of enforcement that could treat small farmers like large commercial dairies.

3: Limits on Transport Expectations

Example:When a farmer delivers raw milk directly to a consumer, expectations are limited to basic handling consistent with small-scale, direct sales, not commercial-grade transport requirements.

Why:Without clear limits, agencies could later impose costly standards that were never intended for direct, farm-to-consumer sales.

Who These Amendments ProtectThese amendments protect small farmers from arbitrary enforcement, consumers from inconsistent information, and regulators from pressure to stretch the law beyond its intent. Clear boundaries preserve the bill’s purpose while preventing regulatory creep, confusion, and unequal treatment.

Yes, all meat should be labeled with country of origin.

While SB1389 is framed as expanding parental choice through tax credits, in practice it uses financial incentives to entice greater participation in a state-managed program, which expands data collection, reporting, and long-term system reach into family education decisions.

This shifts the bill from empowering parents to growing the administrative footprint of government.

The SDE has been given $7 BILLION DOLLARS since 2003 per their own admission and we are ranked 50th in academics? Where has all this money gone? No accountability. Where are the audits for this money and now they want more to do what they should have been doing already for 20+ years. This has become what looks like a giant money laundering scheme.

SB1778 uses literacy as an entry point to expand state control, standardize children into workforce pipelines, and reduce parental authority — it’s workforce development policy disguised as reading reform.

SB1778 follows the same policy architecture used nationally to connect early education to labor-force pipelines. Literacy is treated not as a family-directed educational goal, but as an input metric for long-term economic productivity.

This is consistent with the P-20 / cradle-to-career workforce model, where literacy is the first measurable labor input.
