Oklahoma Tests NY & CA Teachers for “Woke Indoctrination” | New PragerU Exam Sparks Backlash

Oklahoma’s education chief Ryan Walters has rolled out a new policy requiring teacher applicants from California and New York to pass a 50-question “America-first” exam developed by PragerU before they can teach in the state.

Supporters say the test protects classrooms from “woke indoctrination,” while critics—including education groups and legal experts—argue it’s unconstitutional, worsens teacher shortages, and functions as a partisan loyalty test.
