Oklahoma testing some incoming teachers to spot ‘radical leftist ideology'
A new test will be administered to out-of-state teachers coming to Oklahoma from blue states in a move the state superintendent said is meant to root out 'radical leftist ideology' from classrooms. The test, set to be administered by conservative educational platform PragerU, will be required for the teachers to receive an Oklahoma certification. '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,' Ryan Walters said. The test has not been administered yet but a spokesperson for Walters's office said it will be 'very soon.' While the full test was not shared, some questions seen by The Hill ask incoming teachers basic civics questions, such as the first three words of the Constitution and why freedom of religion is important in America. The move comes after other controversial initiatives by Walters in Oklahoma such as trying to put Bibles in every classroom or changing the way the 2020 election is taught to work in President Trump's baseless allegations of widespread fraud.

Virginia governor's race narrows in new poll
Former Rep. Abigail Spanberger's (D-Va.) lead over Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears (R) in the state's gubernatorial race is narrowing, according to polling from Roanoke College. Spanberger leads Earle-Sears 46 percent to 39 percent among likely voters in the poll released Tuesday; 14 percent of voters said they were undecided, while 1 percent said they would vote for someone else. The previous Roanoke College poll of the race was released in May and showed Spanberger leading 43 percent to 26 percent, and the latest polling average released earlier this month by The Hill's partners at Decision Desk HQ shows Spanberger leading Earle-Sears 45.2 percent to 36 percent. Seventy-six percent of likely voters said they were 'very certain' of their choice for governor, while 21 percent said they were 'somewhat certain.' Virginia Republicans have sounded the alarm about their chances in the gubernatorial race, pointing to Earle-Sears significantly trailing Spanberger in fundraising and polls. However, the Roanoke College poll showed that the closest races in Virginia's offyear elections continue to be the lieutenant governor and attorney general contests. Virginia state Sen. Ghazala Hashmi (D) leads Republican John Reid in the race to replace Earle-Sears 38 percent to 35 percent, while former Del. Jay Jones (D) leads incumbent Attorney General Jason Miyares (R) 41 percent to 38 percent. The latest Roanoke College poll was conducted Aug. 11-15 among 702 Virginia residents. The margin of error among all poll respondents is 4.3 percent, while the margin of error for likely voters is 4.39 percent. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
