  1. From the producers of Leo and Layla where they said “Guys, Christopher Columbus wasn’t that bad of a guy” ignoring that even people from his time found him to be abhorrent.

  2. That guy looks like he paid someone for test answers.

  3. Many of the “correct” answers appear to be neo-fascist opinions. It is a test of ideology, not a test of education.

  4. That’s the number of felony crimes the Lord the Orange Pedophile was convicted of.

  7. That’s it? Did they run out of anti woke questions to ask? Most of this is middle school civics and the handful of questions that are anti woke just ask the same question 3 times.

  8. I see they still don’t understand sex and gender…

  9. 9. 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?

  10. Prager U is a pedo farm that grooms children for that simp life.

  12. 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.

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

    I’m assuming the subtext here is that’s a bad thing? So they’re actively and publicly fighting against MLK’s legacy? Surprised this quiet part out loud question made it on the ‘test’.

    Also, this test is ostensibly designed to weed out “woke” teachers. I don’t think there is a single woke person who at least knows basic civics that would fail this test.

    What are they even trying to accomplish?

  14. I just took it; some random history mixed in with gender identity bs questions. Total joke…

  15. How is a child’s biological sex typically identified? (c. Visual anatomical observation and chromosomes)

    They just love to visually check children’s genitalia.  And are they in for a shock when they take a good look at an intersex child’s genitalia.  

  17. The fact this right wing nut job has made money and is getting traction is absurd

    4. Which chromosome pair determines biological sex in humans? (b. XX/YY)

    5. Should teachers be allowed to express their own political viewpoints in the classroom in order to persuade the students to adopt their point of view? (d. No, the classroom is not an appropriate venue for political activism)
    6. What did the Supreme Court rule in the 2025 case Mahmoud v. Taylor? (d. Public schools cannot require participation in LGBTQ-themed instruction without parental opt-out)
    7. What are the first three words of the Constitution? (b. We the People)

  19. Would you gleefully suck shit from Trump’s ass? A. Gladly! B. No.

  20. Question 1. Did Donald Trump win or lose the 2020 election?

  21. I love how question 29 is just who was president during the Great Depression and WWII. Obviously it’s FDR but they easily could have worded as what president led the US through WWII and contributed to ending the Great Depression. Of course they want to try to imply that FDR had a hand in causing the Great Depression

  22. Honestly, I’m not so sure about #28 anymore—I mean I would have said “The fall of the Soviet Union” in 2015, but looking at the last 10 years of Russian influence operations, it seems just as likely that the answer could be that the final answer may be with “The dissolution of the Western alliance, symbolized by Trump rolling out the red carpet and warmly welcoming war criminal Putin in Alaska”.

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

    Holy shit

  24. Which chromosome pair determines biological sex in humans? (b. XX/YY)

    That’s wrong it’s either XX or XY on sex. Females XX, males XY unless something weird happens.

  25. “Male” and “female” aren’t genders. They’re sexes. And no one is disputing their definitions. These are just leading questions meant to signal capitulation to fascist buzzword talking points. These people are so stupid and dangerous.

  26. So I just took this exam and I am pretty damn sure The president of the United States would’ve failed this test. Also, this test reads like a social studies quiz. How will this gauge the qualifications of math, reading, and science teachers?

  27. This is what happens when you allow entities like this to exist in the first place. If we’re able to ever unfuck ourselves from this mess we need to do a good house cleaning of all this garbage.

  28. Boy if I I were looking for a job as a teacher, I would not want to take the ~50% pay cut to teach in Oklahoma. You get what you pay for, apparently.

    [California: $101,084](https://www.google.com/search?q=average+public+teacher+salary+in+California&oq=average+public+teacher+salary+in+California)

    [New York: $92,696](https://www.google.com/search?q=average+public+teacher+salary+in+New+York)

    [Oklahoma: $55,505 ](https://www.google.com/search?q=average+public+teacher+salary+in+Oklahoma)

  29. Not at all weird how many questions are about gender and sexuality. No bias or agenda here at all.

  30. > because we refuse to let Gavin Newsom’s woke, Marxist agenda turn Oklahoma into the same dumpster fire California has become.

    Begging for ONE (positive) metric Oklahoma leads California in

  31. The U in PragerU has nothing to do with a university, which is an institute of higher learning. It may have to do with “YouTube” but Google may not like the association.

    That Prager “identifies” as a university is wildly ironic.

  32. I’m not American, and you can safely consider me a “woke” leftist liberal, but got 32 out of 34. 
    Oh, and of course I could easily spot the bullshit.
    But yeah, I’m sure this test will be an amazing safeguard against hiring peoole with the wrong opinions.

  33. I did notice the part about how the colonies prime reason for the Revolution being about taxation without representation. That seems to have been completely ignored in all the gerrymandering going around.

  34. Number 27 is:

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

    That’s harrowing. Martin Luther King Jr is known as an advocate for the freedom and self determination of all peoples, and for deconstructing systems of oppression that perpetuate the enslavement of black Americans. Nothing is more overt in their white supremacist agenda than demonizing a man who died before “DEI” was even an idea.

  36. Isn’t “We the people” the first three words of the preamble to the constitution? Wouldn’t the actual first three words be Article I section?

  37. so based on question 3, are they planning to visually inspect the genitals of all children who go into their schools?

  38. Which chromosome pair determines biological sex in humans? (b. XX/YY)

    Yeah, this is just wrong. It’s XX/XY

  39. Not a single god damn teacher from New York or California is going to move to sad sack, red neck infested Oklahoma

  40. 33 is a doozy because originally the pledge of allegiance didn’t have under god so they should have to clarify that they mean current version.

  41. To clarify what modern cryptofascist Republicans mean by “DEI”, I present you question 27:

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

    Martin Luther King was most well known for not *Civil Rights*, not *Desegregation*, but DEI. There it is folks. Black people having rights is DEI to these people.

  43. I love the subtle dig at FDR with “who was president during the Great Depression”, inferring he caused it. Conservatives never change.

  44. I’m really wondering how these kids are gonna turn out, like there’s no way colleges are going to view a diploma from Oklahoma as the same thing as one from like Massachusetts, right?

  45. 4. Which chromosome pair determines biological sex in humans? (b. XX/YY)

    What….

  46. Couldn’t get past question 4 where they incorrectly assert that sex is determined by having either XX or YY chromosomes.

  47. Seems those conservative really are obsessed with what’s in your pants… or chromosomes.

  48. > 4. Which chromosome pair determines biological sex in humans? (b. XX/YY)

    Females have XX and males XY. YY is probably a gene defect that creates fat, ignorant MAGA voters who think they are male? Fortunately they would probably be infertile as well?
