Teachers from blue states were tested on gender, constitutional rights and U.S. government before being allowed to work in Oklahoma schools, according to a CNN report on Friday.

Ahead of the new school year, the state’s superintendent, Ryan Walters, told Fox News Digital that he planned a new certification test for teachers coming from liberal-leaning states to ensure they were aligned with the state’s curriculum standards. Teachers were reportedly given the test last week.

According to the CNN report, the test was a multiple-choice assessment with approximately 50 questions. One question included "asking teachers to select from a series of multiple-choice answers which chromosome pairs determine biological sex." Another question was "Why freedom of religion is important to America’s identity."

That's funny. Absolutely not about 'freedom of religion', when the ONLY religion they think matters is Christianity, particularly of the fascistic variety.

As a test of pure general knowledge that all Americans should possess, I see nothing fundamentally wrong with those two questions per se, but it would depend on what the list of possible answers were. If a free form answer was expected, I'd want all teachers to respond that the X and Y chromosomes together determine biological sex and that freedom of religion is a fundamental American right specified in the Constitution and codified in the First Amendment.

I haven't been able to find the actual test online to see what other questions asked and what the choices are.

OK ranks 50th in the nation for public education. I'm sure this test will do wonders in attracting educators and boosting their outcomes.
