Republicans to Roll Out ‘America First’ Test For Teachers Arriving From Blue States

Quote:
Oklahoma’s education department has announced plans to introduce an “America First” certification test to ensure that teachers moving from liberal states align with its values.

"One of the things that we wanted to do is, first of all, make sure that they're great teachers, right? And No. 2, make sure we're not getting these woke, indoctrinating social justice warriors in the classroom," the state’s Superintendent Ryan Walters said in an interview with Fox Digital.
Quote:
Walters said that every teacher moving to work in Oklahoma must pass the test in order to begin teaching, and that Conservative think-tank PragerU will assist in the development of the test.

“We put the Bible back in our history standards," Walters said, adding that the ‘America First’ test would include questions based on American history and “common sense.”
MAGA and common sense is like oil and water and PragerU assisting with this questionnaire? That sounds like a Stephen Colbert joke. Besides, why would a great teacher move to Oklahoma to teach? In terms of standard of living, Oklahoma is just above W. VA which is the lowest in the US.
