Showing Original Post only (View all)Teachers moving from California or New York to OK will have to pass a batshit patriotism PragerU test to keep license [View all]
Red state will require new teachers pass PragerU 'America First' test to keep license
Relocating to Oklahoma and want to keep teaching? You might have to pass this test
The state Department of Education is currently working with PragerU to develop the assessment for teachers "relocating from states with progressive education policies," which they must take in order to get a license to teach in Oklahoma. The new assessment will evaluate educators on three main aspects: knowledge of the U.S. Constitution, "understanding of American exceptionalism" and "grasp of fundamental biological differences between boys and girls," according to a news release about the new assessment.
The goal of the new assessment is to ensure educators align with OSDE's commitment to an education "rooted in truth, patriotism and core values," and aims to instill "pride" in the nation's history among students.
Were sending a clear message: Oklahomas schools will not be a haven for woke agendas pushed in places like California and New York," said Superintendent Ryan Walters. "If you want to teach here, youd better know the Constitution, respect what makes America great, and understand basic biology. Were raising a generation of patriots, not activists, and Ill fight tooth and nail to keep leftist propaganda out of our classrooms."
OSDE said it was still assessing which states of origin will be required, but said California and New York would be included. The exact makeup of the test is also still under development but will be finalized in the coming weeks. The assessment will then be implemented immediately upon completion, according to OSDE.

Good grief, talk about not realizing the facts on the ground, even when they are staring at you in the face?

I suspect that won't be an issue for any teacher moving Oklahoma, considering they're moving there is likely game.
