OK School Standards with 2020 election theories "going to take effect"

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – Oklahoma lawmakers made it clear on Thursday that the current Social Studies Standards submitted will take effect. One board member said Friday that lawmakers should send them back.

There is still a deadline for action to be taken, but many republican lawmakers said Thursday that it seems like it will be put in place.

For the past few weeks, lawmakers and others have sounded the alarm that they said there have been issues with the newly revised standards, including having students look into discrepancies with the 2020 presidential election.

“The current submission is going to take effect,” said Senate Pro Tem Lonnie Paxton on Thursday during his weekly media availability. He said that the board can come back next year to revise them if they like.
