The Spin

Republican narrative

This test protects Oklahoma students from radical ideologies being pushed in California and New York schools. These states require teachers to promote gender theory and LGBTQ+ content that goes against basic biology and science. The assessment ensures educators teach factual American history and constitutional principles rather than indoctrinating kids with leftist propaganda.

Democratic narrative

This loyalty test will worsen Oklahoma's teacher shortage by deterring quality educators from applying to work in the state. The requirement represents political grandstanding that distracts from real educational needs like reading, writing and arithmetic instruction. Teachers are already patriotic Americans who don't need ideological screening to prove their commitment to students.
