Oklahoma Mandating Schools Teach Disproven Conspiracy Theory That Democrats Stole 2020 Election From Donald Trump

 

Oklahoma lawmakers are facing major backlash after passing a bill that would require public schools to teach students that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump.
—————————-
The claim has been repeatedly debunked, but under this new law, schools would present it as part of the official curriculum. According to reports, the bill encourages teachers to discuss “election integrity” by using materials that promote the false narrative that Democrats coordinated widespread voter fraud to defeat Trump.
—————————-
This directly contradicts statements from the U.S. Department of Justice, state election officials, and over 60 court decisions across the country.

—————————-
Critics argue that the bill risks turning public education into a tool for misinformation. Teachers and civil rights groups are raising concerns about being forced to teach students something that has been proven false.
—————————-
Supporters of the bill claim it protects free speech and gives students a broader view of political history. However, many see it as an attempt to rewrite the facts of a certified election.
—————————-
The bill has passed the state legislature and is now waiting for the governor’s signature to become law.

Do you think this type of legislation belongs in schools?
