Yesterday, the state House of Representatives failed to pass a bill by
Rep. Charles Key (R-Oklahoma City) and
Sen. Randy Brogdon (R-Owasso) that would have required the state Board of Education to promulgate rules to teach public school students in Oklahoma about the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, as a part of social studies curriculum.
The vote was 44-52. To see how your representative voted,

Co-authors of HB 2814 included
Rep. Sue Tibbs,
Rep. Ann Coody, and
Rep. Jason Nelson. Rep. Key filed a motion to reconsider his bill, which means he can attempt to change minds and call for another vote within the next few days.
