** OKLAHOMA. Stitt's vetoing OETA funds another irrational action

https://www.enidnews.com/oklahoma/editorial-stitts-vetoing-oeta-funds-another-irrational-action/article_4759c2b2-e9b6-11ed-b956-3b979d060646.html

EDITORIAL: Stitt's vetoing OETA funds another irrational action
Enid News & Eagle Editorial Board May 3, 2023

Gov. Kevin Stitt’s comments in regard to his recent veto of
reauthorization of funding for Oklahoma’s public television station
are nothing short of embarrassing, discriminatory and about as
divisive as a leader of a state can possibly get.

While many thought the move was part of the governor’s hardball
strategy to get his education bill across the finish line, we found
out that it really is Stitt’s irrational conjecture that OETA is
“indoctrinating” kids to an LGBTQ agenda.

“I don’t think Oklahomans want to use their tax dollars to
indoctrinate kids,” Stitt told reporters about his decision to veto..
“And some of the stuff that they’re showing, it just overly sexualizes
our kids. There’s elevating LGBTQIA2S+ voices.”

If there are programs with LGBTQ content, they are a very minuscule
part of OETA programming. Why has the governor chosen to wage war
against education, parents and public and cultural programming that
has been a valuable asset for decades?

OETA leverages private donations, federal support and state
appropriations to deliver public services programming that we believe
add value to our state. Since the last renewal, OETA won two regional
Emmy Awards, provided 500 hours of Oklahoma original content, expanded
their weekly newscast to a full hour and provided programs that
reached half of the state’s population. With the budget, the network
would be allowed to boost its digital presence and create a stronger
subscriber base to gain more self-funding.

Also, according to OETA, it’s the most watched PBS affiliate in the
country. It also provides valuable news programming, children’s
programming like “Sesame Street,” and OETA provides commercial
networks with coverage of matters of the state as part of their public
service.

The governor also used a secondary argument that in today’s world,
there is no need to “prop up” a public television station.

“That, to me, is an outdated system,” Stitt said during a press
conference Friday. “It may have had its place in 1957. Why are we
paying taxpayer dollars to prop up OETA?”

It’s true that some states no longer fund public television. Also,
Oklahoma spends more on public television than some other states. If
it’s truly a matter of prioritizing state funding and seeing if it
makes sense for Oklahoma’s public television funding to be reduced,
that’s a rational discussion.

But that’s not how the governor formulated his veto response. He chose
zealous rhetoric to promote an ideological difference, not a
necessarily a fiscal one. The governor has previously supported OETA
funding, so this veto is definitely a blindside.

OETA, which broadcasts PBS throughout Oklahoma, is still plenty
popular with parents and many others who enjoy its wide variety of
programming. Public television still has its place and should not be
erased from our culture.

Hopefully, three-fourths of the Legislature will override this veto,
and if a discussion needs to take place regarding fiscal
responsibility of supporting public television, then let’s have that
discussion next session.

Support local journalism.

Oklahoma governor blames Clifford the Big Red Dog, LGBT folks for PBS
funding cuts

Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt vetoed funding for his state's PBS
affiliate, citing an all-too-common GOP talking point.

May 2, 2023, 9:30 PM UTC By Ja'han Jones

Oklahoma’s Republican governor is on a crusade against "Clifford the
Big Red Dog," the network that produces the animated children's show,
and
the local affiliate that airs it.

Last week, Gov. Kevin Stitt vetoed a bill that authorized funding the
Oklahoma Educational Television Authority (OETA), which broadcasts PBS
programming, through July 2026.

Republicans have targeted PBS funding for years, including Donald
Trump during his presidency and Mitt Romney as a presidential
candidate in 2012. Stitt appears to be seizing on a sordid political
moment in the United States to advance that cause.

"I don't think Oklahomans want to use their tax dollars to
indoctrinate kids," Stitt told reporters on Friday about his decision
to veto the bill. "Some of the stuff that they’re showing just overly
sexualizes our kids.”

Here, Stitt seems to be winking at Republicans’ crusade against
so-called groomers with his criticism of PBS, much like Florida Gov.
Ron DeSantis is targeting Disney to push his anti-LGBTQ agenda.

Tulsa World on Friday laid out the Stitt administration’s issues with
PBS, and they’re just as bigoted as one might imagine.

``To back up Stitt’s claims, a spokeswoman for the governor sent the
Tulsa World information showing that OETA promoted LGBTQ-focused Pride
Month programming in recent years. The spokeswoman also shared
information indicating that two animated children’s cartoons —
'Clifford the Big Red Dog' and 'Work It Out Wombats!' — that air on
PBS affiliates have included lesbian characters in some episodes. The
spokeswoman also sent a Fox News article that criticizes a 'PBS
Newshour' segment in which an Indiana couple talked about how
gender-affirming care was beneficial for their daughter.``

First of all, if you watch “Clifford the Big Red Dog” or “Work It Out
Wombats!” and think, “Gee, there’s an awful lot of sexiness going on
here,” that sounds like a personal issue. But fundamentally, Stitt’s
veto is nothing more than anti-LGBTQ government censorship.

And the governor’s cruelty is likely to impact Oklahomans in a major
way. Just last year, Stitt vetoed more than $ 8 million in funding
authorized for the OETA to improve its emergency alerting services,
hampering the agency’s effort to improve a tool it uses to notify
residents — including many in rural areas — of local issues.

Stitt claimed he doesn’t see a reason for public funding to go toward
a broadcast network. And that stance has him at odds with some members
of his own party in the state Legislature.

Multiple Oklahoma Republicans told Tulsa World they support OETA
funding. That includes state Senate Pro Tem Greg Treat, who pointed to
public broadcasting's key role in relaying emergency communications.

According to Tulsa World, the Legislature appears likely to override
the veto, which would require a two-thirds majority in the Oklahoma
House and state Senate.

** OKLAHOMA. Enid Commissioner accused of having white nationalist
ties sworn into City Commission [with audiovideo]

by: Natalie Clydesdale/KFOR
Posted: May 2, 2023 / 06:29 AM CDT Updated: May 1, 2023 / 11:35 PM CDT
[sic]

ENID, Okla. (KFOR) – Dozens of outraged Enid residents gathered both
inside and outside of Monday night’s city commission meeting to
demonstrate against the swearing in of a member accused of having ties
to a white nationalist group.

“It’s abhorrent. It’s inexcusable. Of course, as a priest, I pray for
him,” said Reverend James Neal of Holy Cross Enid.

Judd Blevins was elected to the Ward 1 seat on Enid’s City Commission
on Feb. 14 of this year. He was officially sworn into the position on
Monday night.

The protest of more than 50 community members at the City
Administration Building was sparked by Blevins’ alleged involvement
with a now disbanded white nationalist hate group called “Identity
Evropa.” ...

** U S A. 9330, May 2 at 0653, WBCQ-6 is back on air with WLCR in
English, but interrupted at 0654 for WBCQ ID and off for antenna
rotation. You`d think by now they would know how to coördinate breaks
with programming. Recheck at 0705 it`s back now in Spanish; maybe
resumed in time by 0700 but I was on Vanuatu (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9805-9810, Tue May 2 at 0709, DRM noise and different
digitalness at 9800-9805, i.e. WINB hybrid style which indeed is
scheduled now in HFCC: 0700-0900 M-F, 0800-1000 Sundays, 50 kW at 62
degrees targeting Europe; i.e. reverse of 242 degrees when on 9265 AM,
but these DRMs are plenty strong. Blox any residual Cuban jamming
against nothing on 9805: they deserve each other (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VANUATU. 7290, May 2 at 0657, JBA talk and music from RV, cut off
at 0658:44*. By the time I can retune to 11835, 0659.5, it`s already
resumed with song at S7/S9, as always, best reception on third
harmonic, while 7890 is JBA carrier and not audible on 15780 = X4
where it`s possible and heard recently by Ron Howard; should always
check for that when 11835 audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9979.35 USB, approx., May 2 at 0711, 2-way in Spanish
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2316 UT May 2
