The state's Superintendent, Ryan Walters, told Fox News Digital that next week he plans to release a new certification test for teachers moving into the state from blue states.
Oklahoma will be the first state to require teachers from liberal-leaning states to take a test to show they align with Oklahoma's curriculum standards.
Walters added that the state is working with conservative think tank PragerU on developing the test for teachers. The "America First" test will include basic questions about American history, civics, and "common sense."
Oklahoma is thus far the only state that has worked with PragerU on this kind of project. Walters said that Oklahoma education officials have partnered with PragerU in the past, helping them develop standards for teaching history and putting an emphasis on American exceptionalism.
"We put the Bible back in our history standards," Walters said.
The superintendent mentioned Maine, California, and New York adopting standards and requirements that were antithetical to Oklahoma.
"One of the things that we wanted to do is, first of all, make sure that they're great teachers, right? And No. 2, make sure we're not getting these woke, indoctrinating social justice warriors in the classroom," Walters said.
He name-dropped California Gov. Gavin Newsom as one of the "impetuses" of the change regarding the state's policy on gender ideology.
The California Department of Education requires instruction "about gender, gender expression, gender identity and explore the harm of negative gender stereotypes." Schools must also "teach about all sexual orientations and what being LGBTQ means."
"We're going to make sure that this isn't creeping into our schools. When we see Maine take the extraordinary steps to fight President Trump... Every county in Oklahoma voted for President Trump," Walters said.
Maine has pushed back against President Donald Trump's executive orders requiring that schools teach that there are only two genders and that biological boys are prohibited from participating in female sports.
Walters' colleagues have previously challenged the legal merit of his idea. When Walters said the test would not need the board's approval, his colleague Ryan Deatherage asked for legal documentation to prove it.
Board member Chris Van Denhende asked whether the tests were necessary, citing teaching contracts requiring educators to teach to Oklahoma standards anyway.
Fox News Digital reached out to Newsom and Van Denhende for comment.
