Oklahoma Adopts New High School Standards Addressing the 2020 Election
- Oklahoma adopted new high school social studies standards in April 2025 requiring students to identify alleged discrepancies in the 2020 election results.
- The standards were pushed by State Superintendent Ryan Walters amid ongoing false claims from President Trump that the election was stolen, despite multiple confirming audits and court rulings.
- The revised standards describe factors like halted ballot counting, mail-in voting risks, and unusual voter patterns, but critics say they promote misleading narratives without encouraging critical thinking.
- Walters stated that the new standards aim to provide students with a truthful and thorough understanding of historical events, whereas education experts criticized them as a regrettable shift that endorses conspiracy theories.
- A GOP lawsuit challenges the approval process, legislators declined to block the standards, and pro-Trump groups threatened opposition to lawmakers rejecting them, suggesting ongoing political contention over the curriculum.
