‼️HUMAN WASTE- a neighbor shared this video of what she says is treated human waste fertilizer (aka HUMANURE) being spread on farmland right near a creek off Peebly Rd in Choctaw right now. There are serious concerns about the safety of this practice…. 🧵 @OKCFOX
MORE- The EPA recently updated its guidance on using humanure (“sludge”) amid claims these biosolids
contains hundreds of harmful pollutants that are linked to illnesses. There have been efforts for years to regulate the practice on a state level in Oklahoma…

HUMANURE 💩- @okcfox has led the local news coverage for years on this issue. Legislation was filed this session addressing dumping this sludge on Oklahoma farmland, but it didn’t advance out of committee. So far, the town of Luther banned it on its own. okcfox.com/amp/news/local…
@OKCFOX 💩 HUMANURE BILLS - 2 bills filed by @shanejett would have required the creation of a public map of these dumping sites and protection of agritourism sites. We’re asking why neither of these bills even made it before a committee hearing this session. @OKCFOX

@OKCFOX @shanejett 💩 “It smells awful!” 💩
This video from Jones shows what neighbors tell me are human turds just sitting on top of a hayfield after it was treated with sludge/humanure weeks ago. @okcfox

🚨State Superintendent Ryan Walters and @oksde targeted in a new lawsuit involving rampant child abuse within Kingfisher schools.... @okcfox Image
WALTERS SUED AGAIN- The lawsuit includes stomach churning details about what has been allowed to occur within the district's athletic program. It alleges Walters, the KPS district, and OSDE/ board of ed all knew about it and did nothing. @OKCFOX Image
The lawsuit says "to this day, Myers remains the head football coach," even as complaints have flooded the district and OSDE. Instead, the suit claims, Myers has been rewarded, over and over again. @OKCFOX Image

❗️ MENTAL HEALTH - Amid a mental health crisis and shortage of providers, Oklahoma therapists are left scrambling after learning of surprising new changes that they say will greatly increase their costs and workload while decreasing client privacy.
Here's more on the partnership that stands to benefit from the potential windfall if this proposal passes, which includes your therapist sharing visit notes with the state of Oklahoma.... (Note- Orion Health is the company working on this, NOT "OrionNet")
hcinnovationgroup.com/interoperabili…
I spoke with the president of OrionNet, Clyde Wafford, who is having to reassure his clients his company is NOT part of this and does NOT support this. "We have ALWAYS stood with providers of
this state," Wafford said.

COSTLY BREAST CANCER SCREENINGS- Oklahoma lawmakers thought they solved this problem. But @okcfox learned our law isn't enough to make insurance companies foot the bill for women who are considered 'high-risk.' 🧵 okcfox.com/news/local/bre…
A regular mammogram isn't enough for 'high-risk' women. OK became one of 9 states last year now requiring insurance companies to pay for additional screenings, like an MRI. @proven4oklahoma fought hard to get the HB 3504 across the finish line. But many insurance plans are EXEMPT
I learned from @DenseBreastInfo and @SusanGKomen- the only way to close those loopholes is with a FEDERAL law. You can count on @RepFrankLucas, @SenMullin, and @TomColeOK04 for support on this issue. While @jameslankford tells me he will NOT vote for coverage mandate…

❗️NEW- The teacher at the center of the Norman High book controversy says she’s had to leave her home because of threatening and vulgar messages, including some with her address and apartment number listed…
Summer Boismier says she no longer feels safe returning home amid the harassment. The threats began, she says, after @sec_walters posted this letter accusing her of providing “pornagraphic materials” to students…
Here’s an example of the sort of messages she is now receiving. (This came at 5:01pm on Wednesday.) She blames the rhetoric from Walters for this reaction. We’ve had to blur out much of it due to profanity. @OKCFOX

A quick🧵on the Norman teacher controversy. As we reported, @sec_walters called for her to lose her teaching license after she shared a QR code to an online library. He said "sexualizing our classrooms will not be tolerated." But other districts also offer public library access..
The specific book that prompted the Norman complaint was 'Gender Queer,' a graphic novel. The Norman parent called it "pornography." (The mom told us she chose to seek out the book and purchase it.) Efforts to ban the book in Virginia just failed.... time.com/6210087/gender…
Other Oklahoma districts, like Tulsa for example, allow students full access to the same book through apps like Hoopla. This is how libraries work. To be clear, many of the texts included in these public online libraries have been verified as "not sexual in nature." ...

‼️NORMAN BOOK BAN- A close source tells me an English teacher has already been removed at Norman High for providing students a qr code link to the Brooklyn Library and informing them there are free e-books there. This caused further fallout among other teachers in the district...
NPS, like many districts, is also making teachers review their classroom libraries and remove any titles that don’t have 2 research articles demonstrating their value. Teachers were given virtually no time to accomplish this so students returned to classes with empty bookshelves.
All of this comes as staff members tell me they are still reeling from the firing of a teacher over the summer. They tell me the district is "extremely retaliatory." @OKCFOX will be following up with district officials asap.
