Oklahoma is turning a blind eye on its own history
Preview:
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt signed a law targeting “critical race theory” in May 2021. The law prohibits public schools from teaching concepts that would cause students to “feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress” because of their race or gender. Since the law was implemented, two school districts have had their accreditation downgraded due to their instruction on race.
