I had similar issues not too long ago and washing the plate with soap and warm water did the trick. .Made sure it dried for a day too just in case.

Never thought I'd see a post resonate so perfectly with my own thoughts as well about being in Oklahoma. And this is coming from someone who comes from a very conservative family, worked with very conservative people for most of my adult life, and went through our failed education system. Shit sucks man, but luckily I'm in a position where I get to see that there's people in power who also see the sad state the state is in and are looking to change it. But, I'm also not holding my breath for change..just hoping.
