Last week, the Oklahoma Board of (Theocratical) Education held its monthly board meeting inside the packed, uncomfortable, and not very cozy confines underneath the Oliver Hodge Building.
Somewhat surprisingly, the meeting wasn’t as big of a shit show as the typical affair, partly due to Oklahoma AG Gentner Drummond – one of the few remaining reasonable, non-theocrat conservatives in the Oklahoma government – continuing to flex his muscle over Oklahoma Education Superintendent.
In case you missed the latest episode of "As the Board Turns," Drummond pulled a sneaky move by opting not to renew the contract of the Board’s outside legal counsel, Cara Nicklas.
