EXCLUSIVE: Oklahoma’s 2025 school-year curriculum will look markedly different after major adjustments are made to eschew “woke garbage” while making sure students learn all aspects of complex figures like Thomas Jefferson and Donald Trump, and issues like the BLM and Capitol riots.
State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters said Wednesday his state is “taking the lead” on a “direct rejection” of politicizing influences on the curriculum like teachers' unions and activist educators.
“What we are not going to allow is these radical teachers' unions to push lies in the classroom. That's not how we're going to teach.”
