- New academic standards in Oklahoma require students to identify "discrepancies" in the 2020 election results based on unfounded claims about the voting process.
- Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters has championed the standards, which were enacted by the Republican-controlled Legislature despite concerns from some party members.
- Critics argue that the standards do not promote critical thinking, but instead reinforce false narratives, undermining public confidence in the electoral process.
- While the standards are set to take effect next school year, a lawsuit from a former Republican attorney general could delay their implementation.
"These new standards will ensure that kids have an accurate and comprehensive view of historical events, while also reinforcing the values that make our country great."— Ryan Walters, Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction, said this at a February State Board of Education meeting.
