The largest “district” in the state of Oklahoma at the moment is an online virtual charter school, which has a sordid history of handing out state funds to families to purchase televisions and Christmas trees with; while considering answering a 5 question quiz the equivalent of a day of attendance.
Literally trying to teach fake history for political reasons.
They’ve been pushing fake us to teach science for political reasons here for years.

The concern is earthquakes related to the wastewater injection.
Fracking did slow down of late - once the wealthy families in Edmond started getting affected, it started to matter (and oil is seasonal in Ok). But at one point the earthquakes were pretty routine, and our Governor purposefully left the state seismologist office unfilled to hide this.
