The Secrets of Isis episode "Dreams of Flight" debuts 1975

The fifteenth episode of the first season of The Secrets of Isis, Dreams of Flight, aired December 13, 1975.  It features the story of a Hispanic girl, who designs model airplanes.  She wants to enter a contest at the school but the favorite to win and her brother both try to discourage her from trying.

It is a good lesson against arrogance, bigotry and racism.   

Joanna Cameron starred as Andrea Thomas and Isis.  Brian Cutler as Rick Mason and Joanna Pang as Cindy Lee were the rest of the regular cast.  Cynthia Avila appeared as Chela Montoya.

Talequah businesses not accepting gov-issued Cherokee Nation IDs

Once again, Oklahoma proves it is a breeding ground of hatred, bigotry and racism.  Businesses in Talequah, Oklahoma are posting signs in windows stating they no longer accept the Cherokee Nation's ID cards.  A sign appeared at EZ Mart, which stated "state-issued identification or driver's licenses".  According to the article on nativenewsonline.net, Buffalo Wild Wings and a local bar, Ned's, are also refusing the Cherokee Nation's ID card.

Cherokee Nation ID cards have been issued since 2012 and are government-issued.  This is nothing more than racism and hatred.

Way to go, Oklahoma.  We can't even go more than a day without becoming a global embarrassment.

Oklahoma: Where the hate comes sweeping down the plain

Oklahoma is a non-discriminatory state:  They hate everybody and don't care who knows it. First, blacks, then LGBT, educators, poor, women and now just businesses in general. 

KFOR published a story yesterday how Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce is concerned about the repeatedly negative legislation from the state legislature and federal representatives are hurting chances of Oklahoma garnering new businesses.  Elected officials in OKC and Washington are more concerned about where people can pee rather than addressing the crises facing education and the poor.

Who would want to set up business in an area that isn't welcoming?

On Sunday, the New York Times posted an editorial "Oklahoma Makes the Poor Poorer".  In it, they report Oklahoma Legislature voted a 5% increase in their budget before cutting tax breaks for the poor.

If that wasn't bad enough, Oklahoma 5th Congressional District Representative to the House of Representatives Republican Steve Russell introduced an amendment (which passed after some shady movements) which allows contractors to discriminate against LGTB people based on religious views.

U.S. Representative Democrat Sean Patrick Maloney tried to stop the amendment because it was all "about bigotry, plain and simple".  But Republicans sent him a message that bigotry, hate and inequality are just fine with them.
