Oklahoma’s high school students are about to learn U.S. history from a heavily distorted perspective. The state is introducing a revised social studies curriculum that includes conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election. The new standards will require students to analyze alleged “discrepancies” in the election results starting next school year.
This will likely lead to the state’s public schools spreading misinformation and politically biased lessons. The updated curriculum goes much further than the previous version, which only asked students to “Examine issues related to the 2020 election and its outcome.”
