After Donald Trump and the Republicans’ landslide victory over the Democrats on November 5th, we might mistakenly believe that the left will back itself into a corner and continue to complain about “the end of democracy”! and orange man bad. Nothing could be further from the truth. They didn’t sulk; they regroup. Whatever they can’t get past the American people, they’ll try to slip under the radar. In Oklahoma, not only are they trying to push their agenda, but they may also be outwardly defying the law.
No matter how many laws a state passes, Democrats now just completely ignore them. Depending on the case, they should either be fired or arrested, whichever is applicable
EXCLUSIVE: Oklahoma University accused of breaking the law by requiring DEI coursehttps://t.co/2BP5qX6xGV pic.twitter.com/mGrHFcjfDM

At the University of Oklahoma, it seems that diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) cannot be ignored. Although Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) issue an implementing regulation in December 2023, stating that no colleges in the state may do the following:
“…impose an obligation on every person to participate in, attend, or receive education, training, activities, procedures, or programs provided that such education…provides preference based on the particular race, color, gender, ethnicity, or national origin of a person granted to another person.”
But the university won’t let a little thing like an executive order from the governor stop it from requiring undergraduate students to take a course that portrays white people as purveyors of institutional racism and trains them to be future educators who give special treatment to minority students. The part that goes under the radar is the course’s innocent-sounding title: “Schools and American Culture.” What could go wrong? It turns out plenty.
As soon as students register for the course and stand at the door, the liberal indoctrination is on full display. Approximately one-third of a student’s grades are based on the development of a “social justice curriculum.” The description in the curriculum of what this entails includes all DEI buzzwords. Students will focus on “centering the needs, histories and realities of marginalized and minority populations.”
It’s all downhill from there. Around the fourth week of class, good old-fashioned critical race theory is introduced, as well as something called “critical whiteness in education.” What the hell is critical whiteness in education? The The Oxford Research Encyclopedia defines it as a study that attempts:
“…reveals the invisible structures that produce and reproduce white supremacy and privilege” and “examines the meaning of white privilege and the pedagogy of white privilege, as well as the connection of white privilege to complicity in racism.”

In the fifth week of classes, Oklahoma’s future teachers will become even more familiar with DEI and, even better, learn how to sustain it in the classroom. You need to read a 2017 academic paper called “Critical Race Theory and the Whiteness of Teacher Education.” The paper argues against “colorblindness” by stating that “‘neutral’ structures like teacher testing ‘reinforce whiteness and white interests’.”
Another required textbook for the course is “Teaching When the World is on Fire.” It contains a selection called “Politics lessons in the age of Trump.” It doesn’t necessarily violate state law, but it is obviously critical of Trump. The glaring question from parents of their future students to these future educators might be: Why are you “teaching” politics in my child’s classroom?
It seems like a mandatory step The curriculum tells students that they must comply with state law and issue a statement stating:
“The University of Oklahoma is committed to ensuring that its courses comply with and comply with applicable laws. OU never shies away from complex or difficult topics. We are committed to presenting materials that are viewpoint neutral and nondiscriminatory, and we remain committed to teaching our students how to think, not what to think. The rich history of the United States is complicated and unique, and it is appropriate that courses reflect this.”
However, when Stitt gave the order, they seemed to have a different opinion posted on X it “causes deep concern and uncertainty about the future.”
The University of Oklahoma may be okay with breaking the law, but many universities are more subtle and still pushing for DEI but have done so submerged. However, it is a reminder that despite our victory, the left is not going quietly.
Oklahoma University believes it is above the law in its relentless pursuit of harming and brainwashing its students with DEI. Don’t think Woke is dead. The real fight is just beginning.https://t.co/g2s8503t63
