The Senate Judiciary Committee approved a bipartisan immigration reform bill on Tuesday evening, ushering through to the full Senate a bill that would provide a path to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants.
The measure moved only after a controversial amendment that would have allowed same-sex couples to petition for legal status for a spouse or partner was dropped after Republicans made it clear they would not support the bill if the provision was included.

“You don’t go into teaching for the money,” Oklahoma Education Association president Linda Hampton told MSNBC Tuesday. ”You go into teaching because you care about the kids. You spend more of your waking hours as a teacher with those children than anyone does, and they become your children. And just like any parent, you’re going to protect them at all costs.”

“We’ll bring every single resource out that we can. We’ve had offers from other governors across the nation. I’ve even had a phone call from President Obama who’s offering his prayers for the state.
