Oklahoma has a new policy when it comes to teacher certification applicants from New York and California.
Real news from CBS:
Ryan Walters, Oklahoma's public schools superintendent, said Monday that any teacher coming from the two blue states will be required to pass an assessment exam administered by PragerU, an Oklahoma-based conservative nonprofit, before getting a state certification.
'As long as I am superintendent, Oklahoma classrooms will be safeguarded from the radical leftist ideology fostered in places like California and New York,' Walters said in a statement.
So if you've been indoctrinated in New York or California, Oklahoma will be cleaning your brain before they let you become a teacher in their state.
In case you're unaware, PragerU is a non-profit media organization run by Dennis Prager. The media promotes conservative values and capitalism. Oklahoma is already using PragerU in its classrooms as part of its history curriculum.
American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten calls this a "MAGA loyalty test."
This MAGA loyalty test will be yet another turnoff for teachers in a state already struggling with a huge shortage.
The 50-question test has not been released, but the first five questions are said to include reciting the first words of the Constitution and answering as to why freedom of religion is important to America's identity.
Tough times ahead for the three teachers planning on moving from either New York or California to Oklahoma.
