Welcome to the MAGA Party Christo-fascist regime! I'm sure the worthless corporate media didn't let you know about this fun little nugget!

Portions of the "prayer":

“For too long in the country, we’ve seen the radical left attack individual religious liberty in our schools. We will not tolerate that in Oklahoma. We’ve also seen patriotism mocked and a hatred for this country pushed by woke teacher’s unions. We will not tolerate that.

Dear God, thank you for all the blessings you’ve given our country. I pray for our leaders to make the right decisions. I pray in particular for Donald Trump and his team as they continue to bring about change to the country.”

Let's not forget the (currently being amended to pass constitutional muster) plan to buy 55,000 Trump Bibles!

"Walters said the move represented “the first in the nation Bible purchase explicitly for use in schools as an academic and literary resource,” and described the purchase as “the first step toward providing Bibles for every classroom in the state."

The purchase was separate from a prior request for proposal issued by the Oklahoma State Department of Education for 55,000 Bibles. The request was originally tailored with specific requirements that few versions of Bible appeared to meet. One exception was the "God Bless the U. S. A." Bible endorsed by Trump, also known colloquially as the “Trump Bible.”

Ross Perot ran as an independent candidate for President of the United States in 1992 focusing on several key issues:

Economic Policy:

Perot's primary focus was on balancing the federal budget and reducing the national debt. He advocated for:

Economy Reforms:

Cutting government waste and inefficiency

Simplifying the tax code

Stimulating economic growth and job creation

Political Reforms

Perot positioned himself as an outsider seeking to reform Washington. His proposals included:

Implementing electronic "town hall" meetings for direct democracy

Limiting the influence of special interest groups and lobbyists

Instituting congressional term limits

Trade Policy

Perot strongly opposed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), ("that giant sucking sound from Mexico") arguing it would lead to job losses in the United States.

Other Issues

Supported stricter gun control measures.

Favored increased research into AIDS.

Advocated for comprehensive national healthcare reform.

Initially hesitant on gay rights in 1992, but openly supportive by 1996.

Perot's campaign style was unconventional, relying heavily on television appearances and infomercials to communicate directly with voters. His populist message and outsider status resonated with many Americans, leading to a strong showing for a third-party candidate in 1992, when he received 19% of the popular vote.

First off, ITS lib-R-ary with an "R" NOT "LIBERRY"!

STATEMENT: Project 2025 and Libraries

EveryLibrary opposes the Project 2025 framework by the Heritage Foundation because it would dismantle important parts of how public libraries build communities, how schools support students and families, and how higher education supports the next generation of scholars.

It is essential to recognize libraries' role as neutral and inclusive spaces dedicated to providing readers with access to a wide range of information and books.

The Heritage Foundation has been calling for the closure of the Institute of Museums and Library Services (IMLS), the only source of federal funding for public libraries & state libraries. In Blueprints dating back to the mid-2010s, they say that Congress should have no role in ensuring that libraries are strong and available to everyone. We disagree, and so have Congresses with both Republican and Democratic majorities, which have repeatedly rejected their proposals.

Project 2025 would dismantle much of what makes K-12 public education the great leveler of American society. From proposals to eliminate the Department of Education and phase out Title I support for the poorest of schools to scaling back Civil Rights enforcement in the name of parents' rights. They advocate for increased censorship and threaten criminal penalties on educators. This will discourage school librarians from providing diverse materials, limiting students' access to comprehensive educational resources.

Across Higher Ed, Project 2025 proposes significant changes that align with a broader agenda aimed at reducing federal oversight and funding with substantial negative implications for academic institutions, students, and the quality of education. The broader cultural and educational policies proposed could undermine academic freedom, restricting access to research and materials that are essential for higher education and critical inquiry.
