Earlier this month, the Young Conservatives of Oklahoma co-hosted a speaker event on education reform with Young Democrats.

During the first week of November two events will be held at the University of Oklahoma and Langston University by the Young Conservatives of Oklahoma to promote education reform. These events will be the first of their kind and will target bipartisan audiences as they seek to promote policies that will benefit Oklahoma's most valuable asset - students.

Campus Life

The number of liberal student groups outnumber the conservative groups on campus.

There are at least 15 active liberal student groups on campus: ACLU; Amnesty International; American Constitution Society; Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Friends; Green Week; Muslim Student Association; Our Earth; Sooners for Campus Progress; Sooners for Peace in Palestine; NAACP; Students for a Democratic Society; Students Against a Factory-Farming Economy; United Students; Young Democrats; and Women's and Gender Studies Student Association.

There are ten conservative student groups on campus: College Republicans, Constitutional Studies Student Organization, Second Amendment Club, Sooners for Israel, The Federalist Society, Pro-Life Ambassadors, Eden on Campus, Intelligent Design and Evolution Awareness Club, Young Conservatives of Oklahoma, and Winston Churchill Society. The six italicized groups are affiliated with CampusReform.org's Campus Leadership Program, which provides student groups with advice, assistance, and many kinds of support.

The Young Conservatives of Oklahoma (YCO) chapter has been active on campus.

• It created a Graveyard of American Liberties. The tombstones read "Rest in Peace" for the Constitution, the free market, and American Liberties, each killed by the left respectively in 1912 with Woodrow Wilson's presidency, 2007 with the bailouts, and 2008 with the presidency of Barack Obama. YCO also recruited 40 more students.
• The YCO has also hosted a few speakers on campus including Herman Cain and Dinesh D'Souza.

The Pro-Life Ambassadors at the University of Oklahoma at Norman hosted the Justice for All exhibit this week.

Coming off of a day of spectacular recruitment yesterday, the Young Conservatives of Oklahoma (YCO) at the University of Oklahoma, led by Tyler Roberts, did some tabling and set up a Graveyard of American Liberties.

With the help of CampusReform.org field staff, the Young Conservatives of Oklahoma at the University of Oklahoma (OU) donned a makeshift sandwich board to recruit over 120 students in one day.

For a place like Norman, Oklahoma, it was a little surprising how many liberals there are on this campus. We got a wide variety of responses, from enthusiastic to obscenely rude gestures and comments.

"Today was a great success! The sandwich board technique was very effective," said Tyler Roberts, president of the Young Conservatives Oklahoma chapter at OU.

The new Arizona law ordering police to ask people to prove they are a citizen after lawful contact(!) has the left in a tizzy. Many college students are falling for these false accusations of racism. One student cartoonist in particular at The OU Daily is drinking the Kool-aid pretty heavily.

His cartoon features Jesus being arrested by Arizona police because he is a "brown guy." The message is basically that Arizonans have an "odd fear of people who aren't white" and that white Canadians evoke no fear. 

Oh really? Couldn't be that illegal immigrants from the south drain state and local public finances through their use of welfare handouts fraud, schools, hospitals, jails, etc.?? Last time I checked, there weren't millions of Canadians flooding over our northern border straining state budgets.

Is your campus newspaper towing the liberal line on this issue? Fight back!
