Oklahoma lawmakers have a clear choice: Continue allowing taxpayer dollars to flow into radical teacher unions, or end this corrupt system once and for all.
SB62 would stop the state from collecting dues for teacher unions that fight against conservative values, push left-wing agendas into classrooms, and use their power to block educational reform. This bill is long overdue.
5 Reasons Oklahoma Must Pass SB62
1. Teacher Unions Are Unaccountable
Public education should serve students, parents, and communities—not unelected union bosses. Yet, Oklahoma allows private organizations to dictate policies, block reforms, and undermine elected officials. No union contract should have more power than the voters.
2. Teacher Unions Negotiate Against Taxpayers
Unlike private sector unions that negotiate for profits, teacher unions negotiate for more of your tax dollars—and use them to elect their own bosses. If they don’t get their way, they obstruct government operations and even strike.
3. Teacher Unions Push Leftist Politics
The National Education Association (NEA) and American Federation of Teachers (AFT) are among the biggest funders of radical left-wing politics in the country. They spend millions more on activism than they do on representing teachers.
- They bankrolled Kamala Harris’ campaign—despite only 32% of Oklahomans voting for her.
- They fund candidates who oppose school choice, gun rights, and parental authority.
- Yet, Oklahoma still collects dues on their behalf. Why?
4. Teacher Unions Oppose Parental Choice
From blocking school choice to fighting homeschooling rights, teacher unions want absolute control over your child’s education. These groups lobbied to keep schools closed during the pandemic while pushing their political agenda.
5. Teacher Unions Are Indoctrinating Children
The NEA and AFT use your tax dollars to push:
- Abortion activism in schools
- Gender ideology & LGBTQ+ policies
- Anti-2nd Amendment lobbying
- “White Supremacy Culture” narratives
- Special benefits for illegal immigrants
- Attacks on homeschooling & private education
Oklahoma is a conservative state. The Oklahoma GOP Platform directly opposes nearly everything teacher unions fight for. So why is the state still helping them collect money?
