bad roads, nothing to watch on TV unless you subscribe, biased colleges and universities, casinos, tribes, the tribes actually have commercials where they brag about themselves, white collar crime, and the quality of EVERYTHING is terrible.
The Top Five Reasons Oklahoma is the Dumbest State
- education is low quality and biased, rules selectively enforced, no morals taught
- roads and bridges are decaying not to mention that they are badly designed to begin with
- nothing much at all to watch over the air/terrestrial
- white collar crime. certain people get away with things
- tribes are dominating, and so are their casinos and commercials.
Education:
Because an education from Oklahoma is the best ever:
What a wonderful quality education Oklahoma has!! It is the best in the U.S.A.!! It is the best in the World!! It is the best in the UNIVERSE!!
Enough sarcasm and time for facts.
Schools, including high schools:
Those schools don't treat their students equally. Education is very much inside the box. It is very difficult to understand and many students try their best and still fail. Others cheat and they pass. If a student or group of students mistreats another, the victims have to deal with not only the harrassment and bullying, but they also have to deal with school personnel saying "I don't believe you.", "I talked with the students and they denied it.", and "They can do whatever they want to because they are more likely to be successful and you are different from them." and the schools don't prepare students for the future...they prepare the students for college &/or military. Very little of importance is taught, and also morals aren't taught either. If you struggle, or are on individualized education, you can go to a different campus. Shouldn't education be individualized to begin with?!
Perhaps all of this happens in schools all over the U.S.A, but what about the school campuses that can't possibly pass a health and building code inspections?! Oh sure, they "need" a new high school, and to fund it they will have to raise taxes. And what about when the schools misspend the money???? That kind of thing doesn't happen only on Jacob Two-Two. Oklahoma Schools have misspent bonds to renovate roofs, restrooms, and to get new buses. 4 Years later and it still has not completed. And since when does new band uniforms qualify for bond elections?! Think about it: Band programs recieve a regular budget, funds from bonds, and also Booster Clubs. That is not enough?! The band students have to solicit in front of Wal*Marts and other locations, sell "Band Cards", just to pay for some very expensive trip, while the children of the band sponsors and band directors have very large and very new cars. (and no, these sponsors aren't necessarily entrepeneurs...their careers are in education) ...The funds ARE there to repair the schools, so REPAIR THEM!! Expand your existing campuses, put in energy efficient ceilings and windows, and also air conditioners and heating. One time a high school got partially renovated. Nice new windows for some of the classrooms. An air conditioner breaks (a "central" unit), and it gets replaced with a through-the-wall "window" unit. Some of the new windows were replaced with plywood!! Inside the plywood is a slot for the window unit to fit into. Ever think about repairing the original unit?! And what about the remaining chalkboards? You can't see them, so you need glasses...not anymore. Because chalkboard writing is hard to see!! There are also allergies, and also chalk dust is bad for computers. And what about the exposed wiring and damaged outlets... seriously, the solution to this isn't "building a new campus".
About the colleges and universities:
The major universities are part of a chain that is controlled by RUSO - Regional University System of Oklahoma.
They include, at least:
East Central University, Northeastern Oklahoma State Univeristy, Northwestern Oklahoma State University, Southeastern Oklahoma State University, Southwestern Oklahoma State University, and University of Central Oklahoma.
Where are these very nice facilities located? There is a map at http://www.ruso.edu/ that shows where they are located. There is a star for each university. Let's all look together at the stars. Oh look, there is one at the very top. That is obviously the headquarters for Northwestern Oklahoma State University. What about the next star directly below it? West Central University? Sorry, there is no "West Central University" in Oklahoma. That is Southwestern Oklahoma State University. And what about the star that is to the right of it? That one is kinda in the center of Oklahoma, so it must be: University of Central Oklahoma. Ding Ding Ding!! And the star to the right of that one? Ah, that one is East Central University!! RrrRRRRhHh!! Sorry, that answer is In-Correct. Although it geographically locatied in the east central part of Oklahoma, that university is Northeastern State University. The star located between University of Central Oklahoma and Northeastern State University and to the south is the headquarters of East Central University. And the star located in the southern part of Oklahoma is the headquarters of Southeastern Oklahoma State University. The names of these universities are not geographically accurate. But what more could you expect from the state of Oklahoma?
Policies:
This is something that everybody should know, but I bet nobody knows a thing about the policies of major universities in Oklahoma.
Their policy manual says:
"The conduct officer may authorize the following sanctions for violation of university regulations and may include one or a combination of the following:
a. Warning.
b. The imposing of specified restrictions, including but not limited to: letter of apology, presentation of a workshop, preparation of a research paper or project, social probation, community service, assessment or evaluation, counseling, restitution for damages, punitive fines, eviction from university housing, loss of privileges (i.e., visiting privileges in housing or denial of access to computer services), or any combination of the above, and any other appropriate penalty.
c. Conduct probation. A student may be placed on conduct probation. A second violation means that disciplinary action will be based on both charges. The record of conduct probation is kept in the student's personnel folder and the disciplinary hold on his or her record is removed at the discretion of the conduct officer.
d. Suspension. A student may be suspended from the university for reasons of conduct for a definite period of time not less than the remainder of the current semester in which he or she is enrolled. The student who has been suspended may apply for readmission at the close of the period for which he or she was suspended. A suspension hold will be placed on the transcript during the period of suspension.
e. Expulsion. When a student is expelled, a record of this action will be made a part of the student's permanent record in the Office of the Registrar. A student who is expelled will not be allowed to re-enter the university.
f. Degree revocation or rescission of credit."
Appeals Process: "The decision of the conduct officer shall be final and not appealable except in cases of suspension, expulsion or degree revocation which may be appealed to a committee on student conduct."
And who are they?!
"A committee will be created to consider the appeal of cases resulting in suspension, expulsion, degree revocation or rescission of credit of students. The committee shall be appointed by the president of the university who shall have the authority to determine the composition of the committee. The committee may include
(1) faculty members whose primary duties are not concerned with the administration of student conduct and affairs;
(2) students, and
(3) administrative employees whose primary duties are not concerned with the administration of student conduct and affairs."
In other words, the conduct officers can decide ANY punishment for ANY misconduct, even alleged misconduct.
The University of Oklahoma does not appear to support the same policies. go to http://judicial.ou.edu/ to see for yourself. (but let's not forget the Oklahoma/Texas football game, where the flags were spelled "SOONESR" instead of "SOONERS") I could not find any information either way about conduct officers, sanctions, and appeals on the website of Oklahoma State University. Also, I did not check any colleges and technology centers, at least not yet.
Are all universities in other states as harsh as RUSO? I checked. Beginning with a few universities in Texas:
Texas A&M's appeals process:
It shares similar policies that RUSO has, such as "preponderence of evidence" and that "the proceedings of the appeal process shall be informal in nature and need not comply with the formal processes associated with the criminal and civil courts."
However, it also says this:
"The University Disciplinary Appeals Panel will hear all appeals concerning deferred suspension, suspension, dismissal, and expulsion that are the result of a finding of responsibility for violation of the Student Code of Conduct. For all other sanctions imposed for a violation of the Student Code of Conduct, an administrative officer, appointed by the Dean of Student Life, shall hear the case."
I could keep going, but I think I have made my point.

I could keep going, but I think I have made my point.
Roads:
What nice, safe roads Oklahoma has.
On the contrary, they certainly could be better. There are numerous examples about badly designed highways. Calera, Oklahoma has crossing traffic for at least 2 miles and north of that crossing traffic stretch is an intersection where a very busy tribe casino complex is located. Keep going north and there is Tushka, which is similar to Calera, although the speed limit is lower in Tushka. Atoka, Oklahoma also has traffic issues. In Oklahoma City, you have to exit Interstate 35 to stay on Interstate 35. That does not make sense, does it? The roads overall are very low quality regarding the surface. They are in need of repair and many have falling apart asphalt, aged concrete, and several have new asphalt and very few have new concrete. Many highways and also bridges need to be widened. Bridges need to be maintaned and some need to be replaced.
Television In Oklahoma:
These are the television stations.

Things To Watch On Television In Oklahoma:
Oklahoma has 4 DMAs: Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Lawton, and Ada. There is some reception of Fort Smith, Arkansas. Part of the DMA for Lawton is shared with Wichita Falls, Texas. Ada is shared with Sherman, Texas. There are translators for this same DMA and the translators are located in Paris, Texas which also provides reception to Idabel, Oklahoma. As for Sherman-Ada, which is a rather large area devoid of things to watch, there are only TWO stations. KXII and KTEN. Each station offers 3 channels each. There is: CBS, MyNetworkTV, FOX, NBC, CW, and a Weather Map. There is also OETA and that service has two channels. And that gives the Sherman-Ada a very large total of 8 Channels. You probably think that is not very much to watch. But that is in fact progress. It's evolution.
...very SloOOooOOoOoooOoOOOoow Evolution. This slow evolution is not noticable in the 1940s (not much to watch at all then) and the same is for the 1950s...a full decade of televison although most of it is in "Black And White". And the 1960s...also mostly Black And White...with full color/colour beginning in 1965. And most of the 1970s. There was only the broadcast stations for many decades: NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, and for a while, "DuMont". Oh sure, there was also a few independant stations beginning back then, and also wasn't there a short lived movie station? But in the 1970s, there are early tests of cable stations. In 1977, legendary game show host Bill Cullen hosted "How Do You Like Your Eggs?" as a test prodction of "QUBE". Soon afterwards, many stations appeared...on cable. However, in the 1970s, "Big Ugly Dishes" and also amplified outdoor antennas began to appear. With amplified outdoor antennas, you can get stations much more clearly, and occasionally from other DMAs. In the 1990s, there is a satellite subscription services with smaller satellite dishes. Common ones around today are DirecTV and Dish Network. Sherman-Ada is a very small DMA. Many DMAs are larger, and several have independent stations. In 2006, many more channels were added as subchannels. This is how Sherman-Ada's DMA went from 3 channels to 8. But Dallas-Fort Worth expanded to 53!!
Got FOX??
Every DMA should have FOX now, even as a subchannel. FOX launched broadcast stations in the 1980s. In the 1990s, Fox launched national news...with Fox News Sunday and the rest of the news is on cable television, called Fox News Channel. Fox has many other stations on cable and satellite subscriptions. Fox also launched MyNetworkTV in 2006. What about news coverage from Fox for the viewers that do not recieve Fox News Channel? CBS has the greatest reception, and many news programs that can reach everybody. NBC has news on its broadcast stations, and also on CNBC and MSNBC. Even CNN and Bloomberg, two "cable" franchises, have reporter packages for over the air channels!! CNN and Bloomberg is for the CW stations and also The Daily Buzz, which is technically syndicated but usually is distributed to CW stations. The Daily Buzz has reporter packages from CNN. With Sherman-Ada, all major news sources are available...except for ABC, which is not available at all for Sherman-Ada, and FOX, which is available as a KXII "FOX Texoma" subchannel, but does not air any reporter packages from FOX News. For those viewers that rely on over-the-air channels for television and news broadcasts, they can't rely on Sherman-Ada for an ABC station and for FOX News. KXII does have both syndicated news programs and local news programs airing on FOX Texoma, but there aren't any reporter packages from FOX News and FOX Texoma has 55 minutes of local news. That breaks down to 5 minutes on weekdays and about 30 minutes on Sundays. FOX stations are strange like that, since their O&Os are the leaders in news broadcasts for their DMAs, while FOX affiliates and subchannels have very little, if any, news broadcasts. Sherman-Ada is one of these DMAs. Yes, My Texoma airs Fox News Sunday, and whenever Fox News has National Breaking News, Special Presentations, and Election Coverage, Fox Texoma *usually* airs it. Lawton has "Texoma's FOX", located at KJTL, and the local news on that station is produced by NBC affiliate KFDX. Tulsa has KOKI, with news broadcasts beginning in 2002, and Oklahoma City has KOKH, which is the largest news broadcast compared to KOKI, Texoma's Fox, and Fox Texoma. There aren't any O&O Fox stations in Oklahoma, not even KOKH. The feel of KOKH seems a bit more average compared to Fox O&Os.
What about ABC??
As mentioned in the section about the lack of Fox News coverage, there is not any ABC station at all for Sherman-Ada. This includes ABC News AND the ABC Programming. ABC programming is second-run on KXII and KTEN. mainly on MyTexoma and TexomaCW. The only ABC stations for Oklahoma are KSWO, KTUL, and KOCO. ABC News coverage is available on these stations (especially since there is Good Morning America, The View, 20/20, and ABC World News Now) ...
Sherman-Ada is a very sparse DMA when it comes to television channels, so what do the viewers do???? Subscribe to cable and satellite???? The viewers that live closer to Ada, and within 100 miles/about 161 kilometers of Oklahoma City's DMA, they might be able to get a little bit of FOX News from KOKH and the viewers might also get ABC broadcasting from KOCO. The viewers that live closer to Sherman, Texas and within 100 miles/about 161 kilometers of Dallas-Fort Worth can get Fox News coverage from KDFW. The viewers might get ABC broadcasts from WFAA, but the reception might be difficult since the station is VHF and not UHF. (Also, KXII and subchannels are all VHF)
What About The Panhandle??
What about the Oklahoma panhandle, and other areas that are kinda far from even the 4 Oklahoma DMAs???? There is some reception from other states. There is Fort Smith, which has a NOAA/NWS/NEXRAD service. Some viewers might get reception from Joplin, Missouri, Texarkana-Shreveport, and Amarillo, Texas.

White Collar Crimes:
You probably don't know what a white collar crime is, because white collar crimes are well-kept secrets. If you are a victim of White Collar Crime in the state of Oklahoma, it is extremely difficult to prove. If citizens (especially fans of the state of Oklahoma) had to pick between their towns and their state, or an innocent victim...the citizens are far more likely to pick their towns and their state. Some rarely, if ever, leave Oklahoma, thinking that the state of Oklahoma is the only place in the world. Oklahoma is badly designed. Roads and bridges are ill-maintained and some are badly designed, which can cause traffic problems. Not much televison to watch. The schools are also terrible. There has got to be a reason for all of that. Oklahoma has very slow progress. Oklahoma does have funding...The U.S. Economy has not affected Oklahoma as badly as other areas of the U.S.A.. Where is this money going? If you are a wealthy person whose job is in Oklahoma, if you like to hunt, fish, & do not like technology, If you like to be cruel and unfair to others, if you are culturally diverse, and you like the state of Oklahoma and everything about it, then the state of Oklahoma is an excellent place. If none of this describes you, then you might not fit into Oklahoma. If you live in Oklahoma, and especially did not know about any of these facts, I recommend relocating elsewhere to another state.
The fifth major issue:
The fifth issue is about the culture. I am not racist (I actually refuse to even recognize racial and cultural diversity...because we are all people, all on the same planet, and we aren't as different as we think) But there is racism and reverse-racism. I understand that the tribes were located to Oklahoma, and called "Indian Territory" until 1907. The word Oklahoma translates as "Land Of Red People" or words to that effect. I also can't help wondering...aren't the Native American tribes back then warriors, and if so, why did they not fight for their original land? The Native Americans are not all in Oklahoma. There are many that have casinos and CDIB cards. CDIB means "certificate decreeing Indian blood". There is Indian Education, which is tutoring for Native Americans with CDIB cards. And Native Americans can have logos about their history, (feathers, for example...and perhaps a painting of a Native American warrior) But the Native Americans don't like it when others use this and mention that it is racist. All of this is much more common in Oklahoma. I think of these people as citizens of Native American tribes, not Indians. I think of "South Asians" as Indians. Something that some of these Native Americans do is have commercials where they say their name, their occupation, and their ethnicity. And then they tell a story about themselves. These commercials are in Oklahoma DMAs. This is one reason of many explaining why I like to watch channels from Texas. Perhaps the Native Americans should launch their own television series, channel, and perhaps launch a "Native American History Month". But no matter what, I still do not think that Native American citizens are better than other people.
