How Do States Overcome Woke Agenda?

The topic of discussion for this Constitution Monday s school choice. In Oklahoma, the state superintendent is currently battling with the teachers unions over the woke agenda. According to Noah Slayter at The Daily Signal, Ryan Walters told Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts, “Listen, we’re going to have school choice. We’re going to bring back parents’ rights. We’re going to focus on the basics.” 

Walters was interviewed on the “The Kevin Roberts Show” podcast where Roberts and Walters “discussed how Walters has taken on the teachers unions in the schools, fought against woke curricula, and brought parents back into the classroom.”

The superintendent said he focused his campaign on fighting for “the will of parents” and focusing on student excellence through school choice and returning to the use of test scores in schools.

Walters stated that his department’s focus is not allowing “wokeism to dominate another day.” He said, “We [the Department of Education] don’t want the teachers unions in our schools. We want the power to be shifted back to the parents.”
