Beware of Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing.

Recently OEA notified you of the State Chamber’s opposition to SQ744 (HOPE) and they tied their opposition to their desire to consolidate Oklahoma’s small schools (article).

Other groups that also oppose SQ 744, Professional Oklahoma Educators (POE) and legislative leadership, would like for you to believe they really support small schools.
 

Supporters of HOPE know you can’t have it both ways.  You can’t oppose HOPE and its promise of essential funding to keep our rural schools open and also support those whose stated opposition to HOPE is a desire to close schools.
 

POE in a letter to their members has stated they oppose HOPE (letter).  How can a group oppose giving rural schools desperately needed resources and say they oppose school consolidation?
 

We ask all to  “Beware of Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing”
