The process has been ongoing for many years, primarily in universities, but the real leftist blitz on grades K-12 started around ten years ago when a quiet conspiracy of LGBT and CRT indoctrination was implemented by teachers unions, NGOs and the Department of Education.

At first, the fallback policy was denial.  Democrats and leftist teachers groups accused critics of "conspiracy theory" when propaganda lessons were uncovered.  School officials actively protected teachers from parent scrutiny, even going so far as to argue that parents had "no right" to know what their children were being taught in class.  This madness continued until the dam broke in 2022-2023 and the agenda was fully exposed. 

At that point, leftists admitted to the indoctrination campaign but asserted that it was their job to socially engineer the next generation to be "more inclusive" in their thinking.  In other words, children must be conditioned to accept woke degeneracy as normal, for the greater good.

Woke programming was not limited to blue states; blue cities within red states had the same problem.  It wasn't until parents and red state leaders intervened that things began to change and verbal warnings were not enough.  Many activist teachers had to be fired - They believed their ideology was more important than the wishes of parents. 

Many states have now passed legislation to remove woke messaging from public schools, but the danger of subversive activism remains.  Leftist teachers can easily revert back to the old methods of subtlety and denial, brainwashing young minds while pretending as if they are following basic lesson plans. 

The state of Oklahoma has devised a way to prevent future leftist infiltration:  A certification test for incoming teachers designed to weed out woke devotees and lay the ground rules for what does and does not cross the line.  The test may be applied to all new teachers, or specifically to teachers trained in blue states like California and New York that require progressive indoctrination.  The state Department of Education, headed by Oklahoma schools Superintendent Ryan Walters, will implement the new certifications

The "America First Test" was designed with the help of Prager University, a conservative organization which produces educational videos and other materials debunking far-left arguments.
