Calvey Praises Reversal of Sexual Orientation Policy
State Rep. Kevin Calvey praised the Oklahoma State Board of Education today for repealing their sexual orientation policy.

After a request from Calvey, the State Board of Education met today to make a rule change that repeals their current sexual orientation policy by modifying it to be in sync with federal and state law.

"This brings Oklahoma’s educational rules in line with federal and state law and also in line with the values shared by the large majority of Oklahomans," said Calvey, R-Del City.

Currently, federal and state laws require strong anti-discrimination policies in the areas of gender and race but do not address sexual orientation.

Hmmmm ... OK, let's see if I've got this: You have a discriminatory federal policy, so the thing to do is change a non-discriminatory state policy to be in line with the federal policy.

Yep ... that makes sense to me. Or at least it would if my head was as stuff full of Oklahoma barnyard effluvia (a.k.a. "bullshit") as Calvey's head seems to be.
