The Oklahoma Board of Education has approved controversial social studies standards that require high school students to identify discrepancies in the 2020 election results. These guidelines align closely with former President Trump's unfounded assertions about the election outcome. Students will be instructed to examine factors such as the controversial suspension of ballot counting in battleground states and the perceived security risks of mail-in voting. The changes, supported by the Republican superintendent of education, have faced criticism, including from the state's Republican governor, raising concerns about the politicization of education in Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma Board of Education has approved new standards in social studies classes asking high school students to identify discrepancies in the 2020 election, mirroring Trump's false claims.
These new guidelines will have students examine controversial aspects such as the halting of ballot counting in battleground states and address the perceived risks associated with mail-in voting.
The proposals have sparked significant pushback, even from Gov. Kevin Stitt's office, highlighting concerns over the politicization of education and the presentation of modern American history.
The proposed changes suggest a strong conservative bias, influencing how Oklahoma students learn about recent political events, specifically in relation to Trump's enduring claims about the election.
