Red state will require new teachers pass PragerU 'America First' test to keep license
Fox News ^ | July 9, 2025 | Alec Schemmel

Posted on 07/11/2025 4:19:36 AM PDT by MayflowerMadam

The state Department of Education is currently working with PragerU to develop the assessment for teachers "relocating from states with progressive education policies," which they must take in order to get a license to teach in Oklahoma. The new assessment will evaluate educators on three main aspects: knowledge of the U.S. Constitution, "understanding of American exceptionalism" and "grasp of fundamental biological differences between boys and girls," according to a news release about the new assessment.

The goal of the new assessment is to ensure educators align with OSDE's commitment to an education "rooted in truth, patriotism and core values," and aims to instill "pride" in the nation's history among students.

Apologies if already posted; I searched.

Maybe other states will follow suit, and we'll see the next generation proud to be Americans.

PragerU is the one run by the former Israeli intelligence officer.

Answering the questions the way the tester wants some answered and their true feelings are two separate things

Has he apologized to Bob Grant yet?

I am not up to date with anything to do with it. I only know that the CEO was Israeli intelligence because kash Patel’s very young girlfriend has a connection and some people were confusing her with the ceos 8200 training.

It’s an excellent series of classes.

What, if any, is the relevance or concern that a principal is a “former Israeli officer”? I did not hear a single reference to Israel or even much Judaism in the materials. And that was in passing, to note how the structure of American government was modeled after a combination of Greek. Roman, English, and Jewish thought.

You don’t have to think it has any significance

At least if they answer the way that is wanted indicates they know what the answer should be, and if they advocate in their actual teaching DEI and other nonsense then it is clear they are insubordinate rather than just stupid.

"Maybe other states will follow suit"

Pray that they will. It's hard to believe the propaganda with which my grandchildren are being indoctrinated.

For example, my grandson was shown a video concerning the "insurrection and assault on the Capitol on January 6" and came home in a state of near panic. No amount of explanation would calm him down. Even now he shows signs of brainwashing.

When a CEO of a propaganda advocacy group (not an accredited University) is ex Israel intelligence who has a very young woman connected to it dating Kash Patel who has suddenly reversed positions on an International Pedophile that clearly was connected to intelligence it bears scrutiny.

Bill Barr’s OSS father brought in a clearly unqualified drop out to be a teacher who then became an intelligence operative

You don’t have to care.

So promoting American ideals and providing, free of charge, excellent discussions of the Constitution and how American was designed to work is “propaganda” because a main guy is an ex-spook?

I get why you’d have some concern, but you might want to go watch their videos. It’s principled conservative thought at its finest.

it is a propaganda advocacy group not a University. Just because you like the propaganda doesn’t make it less so.

There is no doubt whatsoever to me that Israeli fingerprints are all over the Epstein saga. Also like USA fingerprints

The question is why is Trump going off the rails of what he promised about Epstein to make such a mess of this and why has Kash reversed course.

It may have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Bibi and Israel. However, I believe it does.

The problem is trying to fix an institution that is completely corrupt from top to bottom.

Getting them to go through them motions of an "Americanism" test isn't going to fix anything.

“What you’re dealing with here is an international intelligence web. Take Epstein’s role in Iran-Contra, sheltering funds for the CIA’s illicit arms dealer. In that one operation alone, you have the CIA in the US, Israeli intelligence, UK intelligence and Saudi intelligence.”

I remember having to pass a test on the US Constitution way back in the 80s when I got my teaching license. It was mandated and a condition of receiving the license at that time. I’m sure it was scrapped shortly thereafter...

Good to see the test is coming back.

Great idea! Now do the Senate and House.

Maybe so. It does seem very much like a honey pot.

But what does that have to do with Prager U? Do you think Dennis Prager was implicated in Epstein? Seems a tad tenuous.

My 14-yo niece is terrified of climate change. Oh, and she hates that she’s white and now identifies as Hispanic. (Her father is white and her mother is Hispanic. She has very fair skin and light green eyes.

Her brain has been hijacked at school.
