Career

In 2023, he authored House Bill 1781, which "would be cited as the 'parents bill of rights'" aiming to "provide parents with the fundamental right to direct the upbringing, education, health care and mental care of their children." It came along other anti-DEI legislation from David Bullard and Shane Jett from the Oklahoma capitol after Superintendent and Secretary of Education Ryan Walters "called for a 10-year review of all expenditures related to DEI over the last decade at Oklahoma higher education institutions" in early 2023.[5]
