Ryan Walters, Oklahoma's state superintendent, announced plans for an assessment to evaluate teachers from progressive states based on their perceived 'wokeness.' This initiative aims to ensure that the curriculum in Oklahoma remains focused on patriotism and core values. The test will assess knowledge on the U.S. Constitution, American exceptionalism, and biological differences between genders. Collaborating with the conservative group PragerU, the state seeks to prevent leftist ideologies in schools and promote a generation of students who respect traditional American values.
Walters announced plans to create an assessment for teachers relocating from states with progressive education policies to determine how 'woke' they are.
The Oklahoma State Department of Education claimed that the assessment would allow state curriculum to remain 'rooted in truth, patriotism, and core values.'
The test will evaluate educators on knowledge of the US Constitution, understanding of American exceptionalism, and the fundamental biological differences between boys and girls.
PragerU is primarily known for creating bite-sized online videos promoting right-wing beliefs and, in many cases, anti-LGBTQ+ conspiracy theories.
