If I was a Republican Oklahoma lawmaker, I'd do just about everything in my power to avoid interacting with Oklahoma public school students.
Sure, I know lawmakers want to make it appear like they care about education funding and teacher pay and kids and all that fun stuff, but it's just too risky. In today's vitriolic, on-edge political climate, about the only thing you'll accomplish is giving some kid the opportunity to make you look like an idiot on video.
