New: More than $50 billion (yes, with a b) for education is in jeopardy if the Education Department eventually proceeds with the layoffs it implemented last Friday. A federal judge put them on hold as of Wednesday.

I also cannot help but think of Oklahoma as Indian country & this as another attempt at pushing white colonial narratives on native kids.
Oklahoma is already facing serious teacher shortages. These "exams" will make those gaps harder to fill. And in the process, they'll erode the state's public education system, achieving the real goal of pushing families into private and charter options and into homeschooling instead.
The "exam" was created by dangerous, right-wing, fascist groomer Prager U.
