As it's been widely reported, a record-breaking number of Oklahoma teachers, educators and women filed for public office in 2018 to unseat the oil overlord minions who control and run the Oklahoma legislature.
One of those women and educators is Amanda Jeffers (pictured above). She's a teacher at Crooked (fitting name) Oak High School, and a Democrat running for House District 91 against Republican incumbent Chris Kannady (the guy in the middle). He's the lawmaker that spends his days and nights worrying about what teenage boys do on a field of grass.
About a month or so ago, Jeffers was teaching her AP Senior English class when she learned the school had a special visitor – Oklahoma Senator Paul Rosino (guy to the left). Crooked Oak is in Rosino's senate district, so the visit wasn't out of the ordinary. He was there to say "Hi," meet students and teachers, and subtly campaign and increase his visibility while answering softball questions about how oil lobbyists' bills become law. You know, typical lawmaker visiting the local school type of stuff.
While visiting the school, the school principal brought Rosino to Jeffers' classroom to talk to the class. Here's how Jeffers described Rosino's visit:
We were in the middle of reading Beowulf, when Senator Rosino was brought into the classroom. After an introduction to the class by our principal, she asked if there were questions. When the class was silent, I invited Senator Rosino to discuss what legislation he's worked on with our students. After he mentioned his work with STEM and aviation legislation, I asked him about his work with health care. He said he didn't have anything to do with health care. For clarification, I asked him if he co-authored the SoonerCare work requirement policy, and he replied that he did and why he worked on that legislation. Shortly thereafter he moved on to visit another class.
