Editorial: Atheists target school field trips

Tulsa Beacon

A group of atheists is trying to prevent school children in Kentucky from visiting the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. They sent letters to some schools surrounding the museum with a warning that they shouldn’t take students on field trips there because all public school events should be “secular.” They want students to be taught…

Editorial: Is Tulsa becoming Las Vegas?

Tulsa Beacon

Does Tulsa want to become the new Las Vegas? It seems that way as Tulsa area casinos keep growing as they invest perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars into bigger facilities and more gambling. The Oklahoma Legislature, which is controlled by Republicans who campaigned as conservatives, approved the expansion of gambling in the state’s 130-plus…

Letter: We must never forget the 9/11 attacks

Tulsa Beacon

Let us never forget September 11, 2001.  That is the day when a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamic terrorist group al Qaeda, was unleashed on the United States of America.  The “9/11 Attack” killed 2,996 people, injured over 6,000 others, and caused at least $10 billion in infrastructure and property damage. …

Editorial: HD79 needs to elect Dan Hicks

Tulsa Beacon

State government in Oklahoma needs a big dose of common sense and leaders who understand solid business principles. For example, the reason why teachers have not gotten pay raises is because too much funding got stuck in administration instead of the classroom. More money for public education is ineffective unless there are reforms that utilize…

Editorial: Senate Democrats ignore civility

Tulsa Beacon

Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee and their leftist minions want to stop acceptance of the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh through mob rule. It’s the same tactic that hired protestors use when a conservative speaker comes to campus. For the past 15 Senate confirmation hearings for the U.S. Supreme Court, there was marked disagreement…

Editorial: Disrespecting the American flag

Tulsa Beacon

Former NFL quarterback/activist Colin Kaepernick disrespects America and now Nike is endorsing his protest. In 2016, while a backup quarterback with the San Francisco 49ers, Kaepernick refused to stand for the playing of the National Anthem and disrespected the U.S. flag. A free agent, no NFL team has signed him to a contract since then. …

Editorial: God’s work at New Life Ranch

God transforms lives through the ministry of New Life Ranch and now through a remarkable set of circumstances, there is hope that the ministry will double in size. New Life Ranch, 80 miles east of Tulsa in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains, was started in 1958 by the late Rev. Willard Heck and his…

Editorial: Homosexual judicial candidate

Tulsa Beacon

Christopher Uric Brecht-Smith, who is married to another man, wants to be the first homosexual district court judge in Tulsa County. He will be on the ballot November 6, running against Judge Linda Morrissey, an experienced, moral and fair judge. This is America and anyone can run for office. The real issue here is a…

Editorial: Health risks for marijuana use

Tulsa Beacon

Marijuana is just a plant and Oklahoma voters just approved its use as a medicine. Does that mean it is good for you? Not if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. According to the latest recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics, there are major concerns about marijuana’s effect on children’s short-term growth and long-term neurological…

Letter: America’s abortions are inhumane

Tulsa Beacon

The top U.S. Senate Democrat is afraid that President Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court might be inclined to favor reversal of Roe v. Wade. He and some of his fellow colleagues, want to continue the killing of innocent unborn babies. Which is a terribly inhumane act that goes against God’s Laws. They speak of…
