An Oklahoma proposal approved earlier this year by the Oklahoma State Board of Elections required students to submit their immigration status before school enrollment. That proposal is now currently under the state legislature's review, yet the governor, Kevin Stitt, is seeking to prevent it from becoming law.
Under the proposal, parents or legal guardians are required to provide proof of citizenship of their children when enrolling them in public school, including a U.S. birth certificate, U.S. passport, consular report of birth abroad, permanent resident card or other legal document.
