Oklahoma’s new “America First” teacher certification test will require educators from California and New York to agree with conservative curriculum.
Teachers from California and New York who want to work in Oklahoma public schools will be required to pass a certification test to prove they share the state’s conservative political values.
Regardless of the subject or grade they teach, they’ll have to show they know “the biological differences between females and males” and that they agree with the state’s American history standards, which includes elements of a conspiracy theory that the Democratic Party stole the 2020 presidential election from Donald Trump, which fact checkers have said are false.
i am not trying to be contrarian, i just want additional info here - do you have any resources that describe the levels of literacy and what they mean for these studies? (its hard for my brain to come to a conclusion without that info <3)
i want to compare these to different state literacy levels on this spectrum as well.
