"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6 (NASB)
The prophet was clear and concise in communicating that the people of Israel rejected knowledge, understanding and as a result, the Lord threatened to reject Israel from being His priests. Today, it isn't the people who reject knowledge, but rather bureaucrats who dominate our education system have created an environment where knowledge attained is becoming increasingly difficult.
Administrative costs for education in Oklahoma is ridiculous. The amount of taxpayer dollars spent on administration of education is virtually unlike any other state in this great country and that, my friends, The money spent at the top, is money that is left out of the classrooms, denying our children the education they deserve.
The below link is a breakdown of the number of students each Superintendent is responsible for. Note that 194 of the 527 school districts have less than 350 kids (highlighted in orange) and 47 school districts have less than 150 kids (highlighted in green).

This election for Senate District 47 is about more than just a Senate Seat. It is about sending a message to the status quo on both sides of the aisle and that message is very simple: Enough is enough. Our children in public schools deserve a State Senator willing to fight to ensure that taxpayer dollars reach them in their classrooms rather than filling the checking accounts of administrators.
When you elect me to the State Senate, I can promise you that administrators in our education system will get the message that the time has come to trim the fat, to reduce the number of administrators. You see, when Oklahomans come together, we can ensure a future of educational excellence.
Thank you for your time. I ask for your vote to reform education as we know it.
