Oklahoma court stops social studies standards with 2020 election misinformation from taking effect
“Christianity, American exceptionalism, and conservative values are under attack and the Oklahoma Supreme Court is leading the assault,” Walters said of the nine-member court, six of whom were appointed by Republican governors.
Oklahoma Supreme Court overturns new social studies standards, reinstates 2019 standards
The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that former Superintendent Ryan Walters and the Oklahoma State Board of Education (OSBE) violated the Open Meeting Act by approving new K-12 social studies standards promoting Christianity to public school students.
The court found that Walters made last-minute changes to standards without notifying the public or providing notice to the other OSBE members, and the standards submitted were substantially different from the version released publicly.
The decision came after 33 Oklahoma parents, children, public school teachers, and faith leaders filed a lawsuit, Rev. Dr. Mitch Randal v. Lindel Fields, in July.
