Social Studies Standards Lawsuit Tossed Out, Former AG Speaks Out

A judge in Oklahoma County ruled to reject a lawsuit filed in May that challenged the recently approved social studies standards.
The lawsuit alleged the standards would harm teachers and questioned their approval process, but the judge found no legal violation.
In February, the Social Studies Standards were adopted, including content on the 2020 election issues and the integration of Bibles as part of classroom instruction.
State Superintendent Ryan Walters declared that students will now be taught a curriculum centered on American values, marking an end to the emphasis on concepts like DEI, CRT, and what he called anti-American messaging in schools.
The dismissal enables the standards to be implemented for nearly 800,000 students in Oklahoma, although a related appeal is currently awaiting review by the state's highest court.
