In a session of regressive developments regarding the Oklahoma state government here’s a breath of fresh air:

OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — The Oklahoma City Council is considering an ordinance that would reestablish the city's Human Rights Commission.

An ordinance repealed the commission nearly 30 years ago.

The Human Rights Commission would address alleged harm to people who have been discriminated against because of their race, color, religion, creed, sex, gender, national origin, age, familial status, genetic information, or disability related to employment, housing, and public accommodations under the Oklahoma Anti-Discrimination Law.

The Human Rights Commission would also produce an annual report of its activities, work with law enforcement, and recommend studies or surveys that promote anti-discrimination policies.

People can review the proposed ordinance and weigh in by filling out an online comment form by June 21.

Sounds great to me, should've probably never been disbanded. Hope the state doesn't find a way to smack it down...

That was my first thought the state will try and kill it.
