Oklahoma's New Curriculum: Election Fraud Propaganda in Schools

Rewriting History in Oklahoma

• 📌 Oklahoma's Republican superintendent, Ryan Walters, is introducing a new social studies curriculum that requires students to learn about debunked Trump-era election conspiracy theories.
• 💡 The curriculum frames these falsehoods as an examination of "contemporary turning points," rather than teaching factual history.
• ⚠️ Critics argue this is not about critical thinking but about embedding political propaganda into public education.

Undermining Education and Pushing Agendas

• 📚 The curriculum instructs students to analyze claims like "sudden halts in ballot counting" and "batch dumps," which have been fact-checked and explained as routine occurrences.
• 🏛️ Walters claims this isn't indoctrination but encourages students to "think for themselves," yet the standards embed falsehoods.
• ✝️ The curriculum also waters down content on the Biden administration, replaces it with a focus on border security and international conflicts, and expands Bible references from two to nearly 50, promoting Christian values as foundational to democracy.

The Dangers of Propaganda in Schools

• 🎭 The curriculum includes contradictory sections, such as asking fourth graders to distinguish between authoritarian governments and representative democracies, while simultaneously requiring them to analyze supposed discrepancies in the 2020 election.
• 💰 The new curriculum is set to cost taxpayers over $33 million.
• 📢 Walters allegedly pushed the 400-page revised curriculum onto the school board just 18 hours before their vote, claiming there was "nothing new" in it.
• ⚖️ Critics, including the Oklahoma Council for Social Studies, accuse Walters of undermining education and turning classrooms into political battlegrounds.

Political Intimidation and Historical Erasure

• 🚩 "Moms for Liberty" sent letters to Republican lawmakers, threatening them if they did not support the curriculum, warning that they would be "next" if they sided with the "liberal media" or Democrats.
• 🌍 The discussion draws parallels to historical instances of propaganda, such as the erasure of the Tulsa race massacre from history books in Oklahoma and the suppression of stories of minority achievements in education.
• 🧠 The speakers emphasize that teaching propaganda to impressionable children can cause significant, long-lasting damage, distorting their understanding of reality and history.
• 📉 Concerns are raised about how this propaganda will affect students' ability to compete globally, especially as national reading and math levels are already lagging.
