33 Oklahomans File Lawsuit; Ask State Supreme Court to Halt Social Studies Standards

  • On July 1, 33 plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in Oklahoma Supreme Court seeking to block new social studies standards approved in February.
  • The lawsuit claims the standards unlawfully emphasize Christianity, violate state law on accuracy and appropriateness, and were approved without proper public notice.
  • The standards incorporate over 40 references to the Bible and Judeo-Christian values, teach disputed biblical history as fact, and include lessons on alleged 2020 election discrepancies.
  • State Superintendent Ryan Walters called the lawsuit "despicable, yet predictable," defended an America First, fact-based education starting this fall, and accused critics of attacking academic standards during Independence Day week.
  • This legal challenge signals ongoing controversy over the standards' religious content and accuracy, with implications for public school religious freedom and curriculum governance in Oklahoma.
