Published Monday, October 16, 2023 | | JOIN US! AT THE HISTORY CENTER THIS WEDNESDAY JAMES LINDSAY | | COUNTERING THE MARXIST SLOGAN DIVERSITY EQUITY INCLUSION TESTIFYING TO ITS EVIL | “DEI is destroying Oklahoma’s higher education.” ~Senator Rob Standridge
This Wednesday’s luncheon will feature Dr. James Lindsay. He will cast a vision for the demolishing of this radical evil nationally and summarize Wednesday morning’s testimony before the Oklahoma Senate’s sub-committee hearings.
At those hearings, national experts will ask for the removal of the Marxist teaching of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) from all Oklahoma’s educational institutions.
DEI is presented to students at OU, OSU, and the other institutions of higher learning in Oklahoma. Students are made to understand these re-defined words. Classroom DEI vocabulary carries Marxist political baggage. These are concepts unrelated to the dictionary meaning of these words. Leftist extremists are using DEI to transform the thinking of our children.
The word “inclusion,” as taught in the DEI training in our universities means the exclusion of ideas that are critical of all forms of discrimination. In other words, for the Marxist, “inclusion” is a word used to promote the idea of excluding people from opportunities based not upon character and achievement but upon racial back grounds. | | James Lindsay is a Ph.D. in mathematics who is fighting the devastation this Marxist cultural revolution will have in America. It will be no different than the Maoist Cultural Revolution in China and the other Communist revolutions around the world.
He has devoted his life to the study of the materials of the political left and has become the world’s leading expert in Critical Race Theory, DEI, and the work being done to destroy America through our classrooms.
Hear James Lindsay make DEI clear.
At the OCPAC Foundation luncheon, we will be giving away one of his books and will encourage the rest of you to purchase one of his books and continue to strengthen your ability to engage in a culture under assault. | Come and be a part of building an informed Oklahoma! | Bring your family and friends Wednesday Bring your pastor and buy his lunch!

BOB LINN Language as a Cultural Weapon
YOU ARE INVITED Senate Interim Study
RYAN WALTERS PROTECTS TEACHERS LAST WEEK K Carl Smith | Quisha King
MARK YOUR CALENDAR State Board of Education October 26, 2023 Meeting | BOB LINN Language as a Cultural Weapon | This week, the OCPAC Foundation welcomes the world’s leading expert on all things WOKE, Dr. James Lindsay.
Woke is a term which has morphed over the years. It means to see politics and society and people through the lens of the Marxist Cultural Revolution. It means to see the political and social structures of America as an oppressive power structure devoted to the success of white heterosexual men. | This ideology is preached in thousands of American churches as congregations are given these ideas and asked to consider their need to confess their white privilege and their homophobic bias as the systemic sin of Western Civilization. We have invited Dr. Lindsay to explain the destructive nature of the wokification of American academia under the cloak of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). He will address the pathway to the restoration of moral and intellectual sanity. | | To be woke is to embrace the worldview which has sprouted from current forms of Marxism. Its most lethal tool is its assault on ideology through propaganda and its subtle modification of vocabulary.
This is an old ploy. In the 1923 book, World Revolutionary Propaganda, authors Lasswell and Blumenstock defined propaganda as “the manipulation of symbols to control controversial attitudes.”
By symbols, they mean words, pictures, or gestures. The two authors point out the way this works when a revolution is afoot. They say that the goal “is to arouse hostile attitudes towards the symbols and practices of the established order.”
The successful revolution will do this as subtly as possible using “symbols which appeal to the conscience on behalf of symbols which violate the conscience.” | | Its use today is seen in the effort to engender a sense of guilt on the part of Christian parents who do not want their children exposed to pornography. The revolution proudly advocates mantras like, “Unite Against Book Bans.” I don’t know if U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) read Lasswell and Blumenstock’s 1923 book, but he employed the concepts they discussed as he delivered his first inaugural speech on March 4, 1933.
It was a speech designed to pave the way for the radical transformation of American government through his New Deal. | | The FDR New Deal was a program at enmity with the American system of free and competitive private enterprise (capitalism). The ideology of FDR’s New Deal was irreconcilable with capitalism. FDR could not say things like, “Free enterprise is evil!” or “The U.S. Constitution needs to be re-written!” His attack on both had to be subtle.
So, here is how he put it in his first inaugural speech: Values have shrunk to fantastic levels; taxes have risen; our ability to pay has fallen; … the withered leaves of industrial enterprise lie on every side …Primarily this is because the ruler of the exchange of mankind’s goods have failed …the unscrupulous money-changers stand indicted in the court of public opinion, rejected by the hearts and minds of men … Yes, the money-changers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization. With that speech, capitalism, symbolized by the Wall Street banker, became America’s enemy.
For these comments, I am indebted to the writing of Edward Peter Garrett and his book, The People’s Pottage published in 1953. He wrote under the pen name Garet Garrett. Find his book here. | | In 1970, Auguste del Noce, in his The Crisis of Modernity, wrote of the revolution which sought to destroy Christianity. He said, “Here we reach a crucial point: this process moves, ultimately, toward complete falsification of language, toward the rule of systematically organized mendacity [deceit]. The revolution is now focused on America’s children as the cultural revolution employs terminology to sway the American public and to capture the minds of their children. The campaign to promote pornography in our schools relies heavily on the American Library Association. | The campaign to promote pornography employs language which is designed to attract wide support from the American citizen. The propaganda employs the slogans like “Books for All,” “Unite Against Book Bans,” and “Fight Censorship”. | These all sound like great ideas. They are, however, code words meant to promote Sodomy to our children. Emily Drabinski is the current president of the American Library Association (ALA). She describes her political ideology as Queer and Marxist. The ALA has partnered with LeVar Burton, star of Star Trek, Roots, and the children’s television program, Reading Rainbow. | | Below are two sample of how the political left frames their advocacy of presenting pornography to our children.
From the American Library Website: Since it was founded in 1982, Banned Books Week has drawn attention to the attempts to remove books and other materials from libraries, schools, and bookstores. The 2023 Banned Books Week theme “Let Freedom Read” is a call to action about the urgent need to defend the right to read and to support the community of readers, library staff, educators, authors, publishers, and booksellers. From LeVar Burton’s Banned Books Week Coalition website:
The Banned Books Week Coalition is an international alliance of diverse organizations joined by a commitment to increase awareness of the annual celebration of the freedom to read. The Coalition seeks to engage various communities and inspire participation in Banned Books Week through education, advocacy, and the creation of programming about the problem of book censorship. | | They are using wholesome sounding rally cries to promote the use of sexually explicit books which push children towards sodomy. Books like Gender Queer, Two Boys Kissing, and Flamer. These are a few of many pornographic books which have been found in Oklahoma schools. This Wednesday’s luncheon will address these issues and articulate the pathways to recovering the moral and academic foundations of our republic.
I hope to see you at the Oklahoma History Center for lunch! | We are in desperate need of returning our nation and our state to Biblical foundations.
Thank you for your activism. _________ | I hope to see you at this Wednesday's luncheon!

God bless! | | YOUR ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED! SENATE INTERIM STUDY DEI | | WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2023 9:00 AM ROOM 535 | | Senator Rob Standridge called for this Interim Study. The following are his thoughts:
DEI is destroying Oklahoma’s higher education.
This Wednesday in Legislative hearing room 535, national scholars from prominent conservative think tanks will give expert testimony underlining the destructive impact DEI is having upon the nation. | | Using DEI, universities are blatantly pushing racist ideology and persecuting Christians and separating based on race.
It has crept into college of education. Pushing out leftist robots in classrooms with little children.
We need to eradicate DEI From higher education. | | WALTERS PROTECTS TEACHERS' RIGHTS | | Last week, State Superintendent, Ryan Walters, sent a letter to Oklahoma school districts affirming that the State Department of Education will support any teacher or school who are targeted by a Wisconsin-based secular organization. The letters to schools and teachers threaten litigation if teachers continue to practice their freedom of religion. | | Ryan said:
I will always stand by our teachers exercising their First Amendment rights. Here in Oklahoma, we are not going to let a radical secular organization our of Wisconsin bully our schools and teachers.
This is a group that is vehemently opposed to the values of the Constitution and who should be ashamed of their vulture-like approach to attacking teachers. They are pushing an agenda that says state-sponsored atheism is the only acceptable religion, and we are going to stand firm against that radical secularism.
I feel pity for these woke, elitist lawyers who have decided that there is no greater calling in life than to make sure teachers aren’t practicing their Faith
~Ryan Walters State Superintendent | | K Carl Smith made a convincing argument that Frederick Douglass represented better than anyone the excellencies of America's founding, constitution, and history.
