Oklahoma to reportedly vet prospective teachers with ‘America first’ test

Oklahoma’s public education superintendent, Ryan Walters, told USA Today and CNN that the 50-question certification exam – which is reportedly set to roll out in the coming days – will ask about topics such as the “biological differences between males and females”, freedom of religion and US history.

According to USA Today, the test also includes questions related to false claims that electoral fraudsters handed the 2020 presidential race to Joe Biden at the expense of Donald Trump, who returned to the White House in January.

Walters said that the test – which he has dubbed the “America First” certification, invoking a favored slogan of the Republican president – is intended to ensure that teachers from the two largest Democrat-led states “are not coming into our classrooms and indoctrinating kids”.
