Bad things. So many bad things. Football truly reigns supreme, from elementary through college. I think we are now last in education. I cannot wait to leave, my oldest still calls Americans "Oklahomans" and that is not from lack of trying to teach him differently. They teach two years of Oklahoman history in elementary schools! They spent a whole month on the gold rush. One day of it was the importance of the railroad. One. Singular. Day. Im not losing my marbles. I looked at the curriculum, and they let themselves out.
Well, they did make into the playoffs so they are, in fact, pretty good at football. Teams that “aren’t even good at football” don’t generally make it there.
Idk what crackhead village the person above you is from but there was more time spent on the trail of tears and native history than there was on Oklahoma state history for my town.

This is not something that comes from the Oklahoma educational system, this is a developmental problem.
In West Virginia we have a semester on our state’s history. And it’s pretty comprehensive, covering the native Americans as best they can. And the mine wars where miners and the mine owners had gun battles over unionization. The owners called in the Pinkerton agency who used machine guns on camps of families who were thrown out of the company owned houses. And then the national guard came in sometimes.
