OSDE changes requirements in Bible request
SUMMARY: The Oklahoma State Department of Education is updating its requirements for vendors supplying 55,000 Bibles to public schools. The new guidelines require that the Pledge of Allegiance, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, and Constitution can be included in the Bibles or provided separately, deviating from the original proposal that mandated these documents be bound within the Bible itself to correspond with the “God Bless the USA” Bible. Former President Donald Trump has endorsed this $3 million initiative.

For Some Oklahomans, Eviction is a Death Sentence
SUMMARY: In 2024, Oklahoma City reported the deaths of 74 homeless individuals, highlighting the severe consequences of eviction. Anthony Goulding, 82, died in a fire during an eviction, while Charles Henderson Jr., 36, succumbed to homelessness after being forced out of his mother’s home. A study by Eviction Lab linked eviction to increased mortality, particularly affecting low-income residents. Evictions lead to homelessness, preventing access to essential health and support networks. Legal aid advocates stress that the lack of stable housing severely impacts health and survival, as many face life-threatening conditions without proper shelter or care during harsh weather.

15 state treasurers urge states to divest pension funds from China | National
SUMMARY: State legislatures and financial officers from 15 states are urging pension fund fiduciaries to divest from investments in China due to concerns about threats posed by the Communist Party of China (CCP) and the People’s Republic of China (PRC). They cite unreliable audits, market manipulations, and risks related to Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) as key reasons for divestment. Financial leaders highlight that failure to act could result in significant financial losses, similar to the experience following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Additionally, they warn about national security threats and ongoing espionage activities linked to China.
