This bill amends Oklahoma's curriculum standards to require the study of significant historical documents, including the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence, and to add content from the U.S. naturalization test to the history and government curriculum. Beginning in the 2022-2023 school year, the U.S. naturalization test must be administered to all high school students, with a passing score of 60 out of 100 required for graduation, with some exceptions for students with disabilities. The bill also makes other changes to the high school curriculum and graduation requirements.
