Oklahoma 's new social studies standards for K-12 public school students were revised at the direction of state School Superintendent Ryan Walters.

The previous standard for studying the 2020 election merely said, “Examine issues related to the election of 2020 and its outcome" The new standard raised red flags even among Walters ' fellow Republicans , including the governor and legislative leaders.

A group of parents and educators have filed a lawsuit asking a judge to reject the standards.

“It's harmful posturing and political theater that our kids do not need to be subjected to,” said Sen. Mark Mann , a Democrat from Oklahoma City .

National experts on education standards also expressed alarm, noting that Oklahoma has historically ranked highly among the states for its standards.

“There was also a lot of biblical content that was sort of shoehorned in throughout the existing standards”.
