Oklahoma will require teachers from California and New York to pass a PragerU exam before certification. Superintendent Ryan Walters claims it protects against "radical leftist ideology," while critics call it a "MAGA loyalty test." The 50-question exam, partially released, includes questions on the Constitution and freedom of religion. Critics, including the American Federation of Teachers, argue the test is a deterrent during a teacher shortage and promotes indoctrination, hindering teacher recruitment and contradicting constitutional principles. The test's focus on "undoing the damage of gender ideology" further fuels concerns.
