The search for “wokism” compromised by Donald Trump continues. In one of the most conservative states in the United States, Oklahoma, the new teachers are forced to meet an “anti-doter” exam if they want to teach.
The test aims to verify the support of teachers to the traditional values defended by the State led by Republican governor Kevin Stitt. The objective is assumed perfectly: “protect children from indoctrination.”
50 questions
The exam is intended for teachers who wish to come and settle in Oklahoma after receiving training in California or New York, two very progressive states that are a scarecrow for US law. These teachers are criticized by students’ indoctrine in a Woke or LGBTQ+ideology.
The test includes 50 questions in total. The rector revealed only a few, such as “why is freedom of religion for the identity of the United States?”, “What are the first three words of the Constitution?” Or “how many senators in the United States are there?”
But according to the American press, there are much more disputed questions, especially in the genre.
A scarcity of teachers in Oklahoma
Oklahoma is not his first attempt: he has already imposed the study of the Bible in public schools and introduced the conspirator theory that declares that Joe Biden stole the US presidential elections in 2020 into the history textbooks.
This new exam is part of the cultural war led by Donald Trump. The president of the United States has pledged to serve the “awakened” influences of cultural and educational institutions since the beginning of his second term.
Notably asked Justice to investigate too progressive museums, that they present “a horrible image of our country, (in particular) about the misdeeds of slavery (…) and nothing about their success and brilliance.”
The billionaire also announced the withdrawal of the United States of UNESCO, especially due to the support of “Wokes and Divisive Cultural and Social Causes.” The White House has also announced to prepare to attack artificial intelligences that are also considered “wokes.”
A policy followed by the letter from several fundamentally Republican states, such as Oklahoma. However, the educational situation of this region was already difficult before the implementation of this new exam, since Elklahoma faces a serious scarcity of teachers and has many problems to recruit.
Meanwhile, it is the students who pay the price: Oklahoma is one of the states that record the worst academic results in the United States.
