INTERVIEW | Why Oklahoma Is Promoting School Choice, Standing Against DEI

Subscribe to Daily SignalSubscribe

Oklahoma is taking a lead on school choice programs and resisting far-left ideology in classrooms across the state.

“It is amazing how aggressive the Biden administration is with this radical agenda towards our schools,” Ryan Walters, Oklahoma's state superintendent of public instruction, says. When he came into office, Walters says he told staffers there, “We're not doing diversity, equity, and inclusion. We're not doing that here."

The leftist agenda in schools has gone well beyond DEI instruction, and now the Biden administration is considering changing the definition of sex in Title IX to include gender identity and sexual orientation, opening the door wide for biological boys and men to compete in girls and women's sports and to use their restrooms and locker rooms.

“We've already submitted comment to the Biden administration and told them, 'We're suing you if you move down this road,'” Walters said.

Walters joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain the ways Oklahoma is fighting against the Left’s efforts to influence the next generation in the classroom and to discuss the state’s aggressive action to implement school choice programs.
