Cue the “It’s been zero days since Oklahoma was a national embarrassment” social media gif.
Earlier this week, the Oklahoma House narrowly voted down HB 1028 – a bill that would prohibit educators from using corporal punishment on special needs students because, you know, we live in Oklahoma, an embarrassing state run by fools and morons who were elected to public office by equally impressive fools and morons.
The bill was defeated by a slim 45 - 43 margin. 13 cowardly lawmakers, including several liberal Democrats, didn’t vote on the measure because I guess the last thing they want is to appear soft on special ed discipline in public schools.
