Oklahoma to require schools to teach Trump's 2020 election conspiracy theories

[Morphine Prince 109,645]

Oklahoma's public school history teachers will soon be required to teach the disproved conspiracy theory that the Democratic Party stole the 2020 presidential election from President Donald Trump.

The Republican-led state's new high school history curriculum says students must learn how to dissect the results of the 2020 election, including learning about alleged mail-in voter fraud, "an unforeseen record number of voters" and "security risks of mail-in balloting."

Advancing Trump's debunked claims about his 2020 presidential election loss on young people is one of many changes made by State Superintendent of Education Ryan Walters, including requiring bibles in every classroom. The new curriculum also removed a prior proposal for lessons about George Floyd's murder and Black Lives Matter, and teaches as fact the hotly contested theory that COVID-19 emerged from a lab leak.

"These reforms will reset our classrooms back to educating our children without liberal indoctrination," Walters, a former history teacher, wrote in a post on X on April 29. "We’re proud to defend these standards, and we will continue to stand up for honest, pro-America education in every classroom."

The new curriculum was drafted by a review committee that includes Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, a Washington D.C.-based conservative think tank that created the blueprint for a second Trump term, known as Project 2025 and conservative talk show host Dennis Prager.
