GET ME REWRITE: Oklahoma parents push back against the Ryan Walters Education as Propaganda Clown Show

 

Headline:  Public Information, 5/29/2025 

Judd Legum reports how Oklahoma parents are giving Walters a taste of his own medicine:

A group called "We’re Oklahoma Education," or WOKE, is distributing a form letter that allows parents to opt-out of aspects of the new curriculum, including lessons on "discrepancies in 2020 elections results" and "Judeo-Christian concepts of ethics and government as the basis for American civilization." The letter also allows parents to opt their children out of instruction created by right-wing groups, such as PragerU and Hillsdale College. Parents can also request that their child not have "[a]ny interaction with State Superintendent Ryan Walters in any capacity, including viewing any video or audio recording of Mr. Walters." 

WOKE Director Erica Watkins says the group created the opt-out form because they consider some lessons in the new curriculum "propaganda" that is not "appropriate to be taught in school."
