The Oklahoma GOP has updated their platform to include opposing funding increases for public schools.
The platform now stands against “any increased state funding” for “government schools.”
It also calls to abolish the state income tax, abolish the minimum wage, and more.

On Friday in New York the federal agents stopped a bus and, armed with a list, appeared to single out those who have been doing union organizing for years.
