The OSDE Board quietly scrapped one of former State Superembarrassment Ryan Walters’ proudest legacies: forcing new Oklahoma teachers to pass a written U.S. naturalization test to prove they were “one of us.” The policy confused educators, immigrants, and literally everyone who already passed Oklahoma history in eighth grade. Board members reportedly decided classroom competence mattered more than passing an unofficial conservative-ideals commitment test. Walters was unavailable for comment, as he’s busy with attorneys, defending dozens of lawsuits he’s very likely to lose.
