Just so you know, if you hire me to fact check your book, I will *never* use AI to do it. I will, however, be really hyper-detailed and not go easy on you and frankly be pretty pedantic (complimentary) and even fact check your jokes - but I won’t use AI to do ANY of that.

Note: Idaho’s anti-trans bathroom law is severe. A 1st time violator can face up to a year in prison, and a 2nd offense (within 5 years of the first) can result in a felony and up to 5 years in prison. People piss 6-8 times a day, on average, so it prohibits people from being in public.

My op-ed on Oklahoma's likely unconstitutional "wokeness" exam for incoming teachers from California and New York: www.oklahoman.com/story/opinio... In essence, this lazy exam is nothing more than a publicity push for PragerU, with Oklahoma acting as a legitimating device.

The Ryan Walters/PragerU test reads like an exam thrown together at the last minute — it needs tougher questions from Oklahoma Constitution.

Not only will this amount in completely preventable death, illness, and injury, but the financial costs will be astronomical. The cost of administering a vaccine pales in comparison to the cost of treating a patient in the ICU for days or weeks.

If you would stop in the middle of the bar exam to help someone in a health crisis, even if it meant a failing score after months of study/risking your job, etc - YOU are who our profession needs most. THAT is zealous advocacy. THAT is moral fiber. Don’t ever let the ghouls beat it out of you.
