State Achieves 100% Compliance with Trump-Era Title VI Mandate
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK — The Oklahoma State Department of Education today announced full compliance across all school districts with the federal Title VI assurances, a critical step in upholding the principles of non-discrimination within the state's education system. This landmark achievement, championed by Superintendent Walters, signifies Oklahoma's unwavering commitment to ensuring that all students have equal access to educational opportunities, free from discriminatory practices.
“As the first state to ban discriminatory DEI initiatives, Oklahoma's commitment to Title VI compliance is clear,” said Walters. “We are not merely echoing a national sentiment; we are leading the way in ensuring our students are shielded from divisive ideologies and that our schools uphold true principles of equality.”
The Title VI assurance is required under the Trump Administration to ensure that no student is denied educational opportunity based on race, and to prevent schools from using DEI frameworks that promote discrimination against one group in favor of another.
Oklahoma’s statewide compliance highlights the state’s decisive action to reject radical DEI initiatives and shield classrooms from discriminatory practices disguised as equity. Oklahoma stands as a model of accountability and common sense for the rest of the nation.
