Oklahoma Schools Rewrite History, Sparking Outrage | JQJO

Oklahoma's new social studies curriculum, spearheaded by Superintendent Ryan Walters, includes questioning the 2020 election results, focusing on alleged discrepancies like ballot counting halts and mail-in voting security. This revision, part of a broader conservative push, incorporates elements promoting American exceptionalism and the Bible, while removing references to Black Lives Matter and George Floyd. The changes, costing $33 million, sparked controversy, with lawsuits filed and some Republicans opposing the last-minute additions. Walters defends the changes, claiming to counter left-wing indoctrination. A new rule mandating proof of immigration status for enrollment further fuels the debate.
