PragerU has released all 34 questions from a new test the Oklahoma State Department of Education and PragerU are developing to ensure teachers coming to Oklahoma from states like California and New York aren't what they consider "woke."

The questions range from presidential history to Supreme Court decisions to gender identity. You can take the test yourself at or see the questions and answers below.

In a previous statement, State Superintendent Ryan Walters said, "As long as I am superintendent, Oklahoma classrooms will be safeguarded from the radical leftist ideology fostered in places like California and New York. Any teacher coming from these states will be required to pass our new PragerU assessment before receiving certification, because we refuse to let Gavin Newsom’s woke, Marxist agenda turn Oklahoma into the same dumpster fire California has become.”

OSDE said the test is finalized and will be implemented soon.

According to PragerU, the test is a " critical tool to help restore integrity, responsibility, and truth to the teaching profession.

"At a time when schools are being used to push radical agendas—from gender ideology to anti-American narratives—this test helps direct and support educators who are committed to teaching students the foundational values that have made America great," the PragerU website states.

Educators who pass the test receive a PragerU Teacher Certificate, "symbolizing their commitment to putting students first, honoring parents, and upholding the ideals that have guided generations of Americans."

The answer to question #27 is simply wrong:

> What cause is Martin Luther King Jr. best known for? (d. Advocating for diversity, equity, and inclusion

Saying “Diversity Equity and Inclusion” is imposing contemporary categories on an historical figure and, given their characterization of DEI, also a subtle slur on his work.

MLK Junior is known for his work in the Civil Rights Movement to end racial segregation and discrimination through nonviolence.

Ironically, It looks like understanding US history at a Jr. High Level will disqualify a lot of people.

Why is freedom of religion important to America’s identity? (a. It protects religious choice from government control)

How does this vibe with Oklahoma’s requirement that teachers teach the Ten Commandments?
