- Oklahoma schools chief announces MAGA loyalty test for teachers from other states — Oklahoma Schools Chief Ryan Walters announced that Oklahoma will be the first state to require teachers from "liberal-leaning states" to pass an "America First Test" developed in partnership with conservative think tank PragerU. The test will cover American history, civics, and "common sense" to ensure teachers do not "indoctrinate" students with a "liberal agenda." Walters stated that teachers from "woke states" will not be allowed to teach in Oklahoma without passing the test.
