<p>Oklahoma will require teachers relocating from California and New York to take a 50-question test aimed at assessing whether they hold leftist political views that might influence their teaching.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Developed by Prager University, the Oklahoma test, according to  Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters, will have to be approved by the education board before it is administered. Walters <a href="https://www.cnn.com/politics/prageru-oklahoma-woke-teacher-test">said</a> if applicants do not pass the test, they will not receive a teaching certificate.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Every teacher that teaches in the state of Oklahoma will have to have a certificate that goes through my office. It has my signature on it. So that those will not move forward until this is done,” he declared.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“One proposed question deals with gender – asking teachers to select from a series of multiple-choice answers which chromosome pairs determine biological sex,” KCCI reported.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">“We will not allow these leftists’ plans and schemes to take place here in Oklahoma,” Walters said, according to <a href="https://www.kcci.com/article/oklahoma-prageru-teacher-test-controversy/65789726?utm_source=chatgpt.com">KCCI</a>. “They are trying to warp the minds of our kids to turn them into social justice warriors, instead of kids that are getting the most of their God-given talents to go get a good job, to go live a fulfilling life.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“We’re not bringing in woke indoctrinators into the classroom,” Walters told <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2025/08/19/oklahoma-teachers-california-new-york-test/">The Washington Post</a>. “It’s a very America-first approach.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“You’re gonna teach that there’s biological differences between males and females, period,” Walters told CNN. “You’re going to teach American history and use primary source documents, not pushing a left-wing agenda on to our kids.” He added that California and New York have required teachers to “do things that are antithetical to our standards and values as a state.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Oklahoma already requires new teachers to <a href="https://archive.is/o/wWfjk/https:/oklahoma.gov/education/services/teacher-certification.html">take a U.S. citizenship test</a>, which covers civics topics, to complete their certification,” the Post added.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Some other sample questions include:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>What are the first three words of the Constitution?</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Why is freedom of religion important to America’s identity?</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>What are the two parts of the U.S. Congress?</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>How many U.S. Senators are there?</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Why do some states have more Representatives than others?</em></p>
</blockquote>
