Editorial: Harmful global warming hysteria

Tulsa Beacon

Global warming is going to kill everyone. That is the message from a United Nations panel on “climate change” that spews that the world is close to “runaway warming” and that humans are to blame for the destruction of the planet. In fact, it may be too late to stop this catastrophe, according to the…

Letter: Disturbing mandate renewals

Tulsa Beacon

We find ourselves living in very disturbing times. As Americans we have survived many months isolated from family and friends. closed businesses, empty classrooms, locked church buildings, and masks being required – even on our children. Finally with the arrival of the heralded vaccines we were assured that our lives would be returned to us-once…

Letter: Labor unions and indoctrination

Tulsa Beacon

The two labor unions that serve America’s public schools are the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). The NEA is the largest union in the US, with over 3 million members. The AFT boasts 1.7 million members. With those two powerful entities looking over our nation’s teachers, we should have…

Editorial: No school children mask mandates

Tulsa Beacon

Democrat lawmakers in Oklahoma City are demanding the repeal of Senate Bill 658 because they want to force all school children in the state to wear a mask 8-10 hours a day. In a futile attempt, the liberal Democrats are demanding that Gov. Kevin Stitt call a special session to repeal SB658, which forbids public…

Editorial: Don’t draft American women

Tulsa Beacon

The Senate Armed Services Committee approved an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that would require women to register for the draft. This is a bad idea. America has no need for a draft and women should only serve on a voluntary basis. America ended the draft in 1973 although young men still have…

Editorial: Money and Oklahoma football

Tulsa Beacon

Money is the motivation for the universities of Oklahoma and Texas to depart from the Big 12 Conference to the Southeastern Conference. This could pose some serious consequences to OU, particularly for the football program. OU has won six straight Big 12 titles. The Sooners have one of the top five head coaches in the…

Editorial: No federal funding for abortion

Tulsa Beacon

For decades, the majority of Americans could agree about one aspect of legalized abortion. American taxpayers shouldn’t pay for it. That value was embedded in the Hyde Amendment, which has bi-partisan pro-life language. Even President Biden while in the U.S. Senate supported the Hyde Amendment, which was passed in 1976. The Hyde Amendment has been…

Editorial: Is President Biden up to the job?

Tulsa Beacon

President Joe Biden’s Town Hall program on CNN on July 21 was sad, troubling and frightful. Biden stumbled through a contrived set of issues be with his cliched answers. There was no sense of journalistic integrity from anti-Trump host Don Lemon. Lemon tossed only softball questions and tried to hide his worry when Biden failed…

Editorial: Stopping Critical Race Theory

Tulsa Beacon

You can teach accurate history in public schools without making white third-grade boys feel guilty about being “racists” based solely on the color of their skin. The Oklahoma Legislature struck a blow against racist indoctrination by passing House Bill 1775, which essentially forbids the teaching of Critical Race Theory – a Marxist mantra that promotes…
