Oklahoma politicians are trying to teach students Trump’s election lies as fact. SIGN NOW to say we need REAL civics in schools, not far-right indoctrination >>
John, what’s happening in Oklahoma right now should outrage every American. No matter where you live, we need your help speaking out now.
Far-right extremists are pushing a plan to force teachers to spread Donald Trump’s debunked conspiracy theories about the 2020 elections which fueled voter suppression efforts across the country and incited the deadly January 6th attack. [1]
The Heritage Foundation, the far-right think tank behind Project 2025, wrote this outrageous curriculum for Oklahoma – and they want it in every classroom in the country.
That’s right. Instead of improving civics education in schools, these extremists are using it to push their anti-democracy agenda.
Right now, parents, teachers, Democrats, and even Republicans in deep-red Oklahoma are speaking out because they don’t want their kids used as pawns in MAGA’s war on the truth.
John, let’s join them and tell Oklahoma’s leaders and education officials: STOP forcing teachers to lie to students – and instead support strong, fair civics education >>
Civics education is crucially important for introducing students to ideas like voting, representation, and the peaceful transition of power.
But instead of those fundamentals, Oklahoma politicians are trying to indoctrinate the next generation to distrust democracy itself.
It’s an all-out war on education. Trump and his allies are slashing funding to our schools and universities, cracking down on what schools can and can’t teach, and trying to rewrite history to serve their authoritarian agenda. We can’t let them get away with it, John.
Add your name today to tell lawmakers: We should be strengthening civics education – NOT peddling Trump’s election lies to the next generation of voters.
Thanks for all you do,
The team at Common Cause
