In spring 2025, a rumor circulated about Oklahoma's new academic standards that alleged that the state would soon require schools to teach students that systematic voter fraud occurred during the 2020 presidential election. The new standards, many people claimed, reflected debunked conspiracy theories promoted by U.S. President Donald Trump to explain why he lost that election to former President Joe Biden.

"Next school year, thousands of high school students in Oklahoma will be required to learn about Trump's debunked claims that the 2020 election was tainted by fraud," said one X post by independent reporter Judd Legum. "The lesson will not be part of a course on conspiracy theories, but an official component of the new social studies curriculum."
