Bailey Perkins Guest columnist This year marks the centennial of the Tulsa Race Massacre, one of the many dark stains on Oklahoma’s past. Instead of using this moment to tell the truth and confront a painful history, our lawmakers are advancing legislation that stifles honest conversation in our education systems. HB1775 would keep our children and college students from seeing the full picture of our history. The Legislature used this bill, originally designed to combat brain injuries and concussions in sports, to ban gender diversity trainings at colleges and prevent K-12 schools from teaching about race and gender. Education can be a tool to expand minds, and the Legislature shouldn’t form barriers to learning.
