“Now more than ever we need policies that bring us together, not rip us apart,” he began his message. “I firmly believe that not one cent of taxpayer money should be used to define and divide young Oklahomans about their race or sex.”
The governor explained that you can teach kids about the country’s past without branding white children as oppressors who need to feel guilt over the color of their skin.
