1 week ago | koco.com | Chantelle Navarro

CHARGES COULD HAVE BEEN FILED. YEAH, THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE TELLS ME OSBI PRESENTED FINDINGS OF POSSIBLE ASSAULT AND BATTERY CHARGES. BUT THE DA DECIDED TO DECLINE TO FILE.

SITUATION. YEAH. AND WHILE THE UNIVERSITIES WON’T SPECIFY EXACTLY WHY THEIR VISAS WERE REVOKED, THEY CAN’T GO TO CLASS ANYMORE. THEY’RE NOW SCRAMBLING, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO NEXT. AND THESE STUDENTS TELL ME THAT THEY DON’T THINK IT’S FAIR, AND IT’S MAKING THEM THINK TWICE ABOUT THE NEXT TIME THEY WANT TO EXERCISE THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS. HONESTLY, IT’S KIND OF INSANE.
Bill would require Oklahoma students to learn about dangers of fentanyl

CHANTEL. YEAH, IT’S CALLED RAINES LAW. I HAVE THE BILL RIGHT HERE IN MY HANDS. AND THE IDEA IS TO TEACH STUDENTS NOT ONLY ABOUT FENTANYL, BUT ABOUT HOW ADDICTING IT IS. THIS IS WHY OKC POLICE ALSO WORK IN THEIR OWN PERSPECTIVE. ANOTHER WAY TO FIGHT FENTANYL, THIS TIME BY STARTING WITH STUDENTS AND GETTING TO THEM BEFORE ADDICTION DOES. LAWMAKERS ARE CONSIDERING RAINES LAW. IT WOULD REQUIRE STUDENTS IN SIXTH THROUGH 12TH GRADES TO LEARN ABOUT THE DANGERS OF THE DRUG AND USE SUBSTANCE ABUSE.
