Oklahoma Governor Stitt faces backlash over veto of OETA funding.

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt vetoed a bill that would have funded the state's PBS station, Oklahoma Educational Television Authority (OETA), through 2026, accusing the station of indoctrinating young children with taxpayer dollars. Stitt believes that OETA is an outdated system and that its programming, which includes LGBTQ content, is problematic and doesn't align with Oklahoma values. Critics have pushed back against the notion that these programs help indoctrinate children, but Stitt believes that taxpayer dollars would be better off elsewhere. Unless the legislature overrides his veto, the state PBS network will cease operations this year.
