Gov. Kevin Stitt, recently vetoed a bill that would continue funding for the statewide PBS station, claiming that the national network has been indoctrinating young children with LGBTQ propaganda.
During a press conference last week, the Republican lawmaker defended his decision to veto ongoing funding for the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority , the state network of public broadcasting service affiliates.
In addition to slamming PBS’ LGBTQ propaganda, the Republican governor trashed the state’s deal with OETA as “outdated.” “OETA is the most-watched PBS station in the country. Over 650,000 viewers a week are watching PBS in Oklahoma.”
