Oklahoma Schools to Teach 2020 Election “Discrepancies”
Oklahoma’s new high school U.S. history standards mandate instruction on supposed “discrepancies” in the 2020 election, including claims about ballot counting halts and mail-in voting security risks. These standards, championed by State Superintendent Ryan Walters, were hastily approved despite objections from some Republicans and educators who criticized the process and content. Critics argue the standards promote false narratives about election fraud rather than fostering critical thinking, potentially eroding public trust. Although some within the Republican party have defended the standards’ content, a lawsuit challenges their rushed approval process, potentially delaying implementation.
