OSDE announces new science standards proposal

The Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) has announced a new proposal for science standards, aiming to replace the current standards adopted in 2014. This initiative, led by State Superintendent Ryan Walters, seeks to eliminate what he describes as "woke indoctrination" from the curriculum. The new standards are designed to focus on traditional science education, emphasizing critical thinking, problem-solving, and foundational knowledge in science. The proposal includes a shift towards a more classical education model, with an emphasis on Western science and the scientific method. Public feedback on these proposed changes is being accepted until May 1, 2024, with the OSDE planning to present the final standards to the state board in June 2024. The move has sparked discussions on the balance between educational content and ideological influences in public education.
