Oklahoma testing incoming teachers to spot 'radical leftist ideology'
Share this @internewscast.com


(The Hill) A new test will be administered to out-of-state teachers coming to Oklahoma in a move the state superintendent said is meant to root out “radical leftist ideology” from classrooms.  

The test, set to be administered by conservative educational platform PragerU, will be required for teachers to receive an Oklahoma certification.  

“As long as I am superintendent, Oklahoma classrooms will be safeguarded from the radical leftist ideology fostered in places like California and New York,” said state Superintendent Ryan Walters. “Any teacher coming from these states will be required to pass our new PragerU assessment before receiving certification, because we refuse to let Gavin Newsom’s woke, Marxist agenda turn Oklahoma into the same dumpster fire California has become.”

The test has not yet been administered, but a spokesperson for Walters’ office said it will be “very soon.” 

While the full test was not shared, some questions seen by partner The Hill ask incoming teachers basic civics questions, such as the first three words of the Constitution and why freedom of religion is important in America.  

The move comes after other controversial initiatives by Walters in Oklahoma, such as trying to put Bibles in every classroom or changing the way the 2020 election is taught to work in President Donald Trump’s baseless allegations of widespread fraud.
