Oklahoma Schools Mandate Teaching of 2020 Election Conspiracy Theories
Newly implemented educational standards in Oklahoma require students to identify alleged discrepancies from the 2020 election and learn about various conspiracy theories surrounding it. These standards have raised concerns among critics who argue that they promote misinformation and undermine factual learning. Opponents claim that this curriculum aligns with Trump-era narratives, introducing debunked claims of election fraud as part of the instructional material. The push for these standards is being spearheaded by the state superintendent, who is perceived as promoting a partisan viewpoint within the education system.
