   OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – The Oklahoma State Board of Education unanimously   
   passed a permanent rule Thursday afternoon that effectively prohibits   
   school districts from altering a student’s recorded gender.   
      
   In October, Governor Kevin Stitt approved an emergency rule prohibiting   
   school districts and sites from altering sex or gender designations on   
   student records without authorization from the State Board of Education.

   ‘Libs of TikTok’ creator’s appointment to education committee   
   According to the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE), it has   
   received notice that some students changing their sex or gender with   
   parental consent are also seeking to remove prior records that reflect   
   their sex or gender during prior years.   
      
   “The rule will provide districts with clear authority to protect their   
   historical records,” the agency wrote in a rule impact statement. “The   
   rule change does not concern public health, safety, and environment.   
   Instead, the agency anticipates passage of this emergency rule will   
   avoid serious prejudice to the public interest in maintaining accurate   
   government records. This rule is proposed to ensure that school records   
   are not irreparably altered pending consideration of a permanent rule   
   restricting changes to historical records.”   
      
   OSDE doesn’t anticipate any cost to the agency to implement and enforce   
   as a result of the proposed permanent rule.   
      
   Additional record keeping, if any, will be performed by existing staff,   
   according to OSDE.   
      
   ‘Not going to do the transgender game’: OSDE rejects school districts   
   changing students’ gender records   
   “We’re not going to do the transgender game of back and forth, back and   
   forth,” said State Superintendent Ryan Walters during the October Board   
   of Education meeting. “We have two genders. Those are the genders that   
   are set.”   
      
   Moore Public Schools and Cushing Public Schools requested to alter   
   students’ records in October, but the Board unanimously rejected both.   
      
   A Moore Public Schools family filed a lawsuit and injunction against   
   Supt. Walters and the State Board of Education over the denial back in   
   December.   
      
   “To have people see that is really important to being seen as yourself   
   and to having access to learn and grow in a space where you know there’s   
   shared respect for your basic human dignity,” previously stated Freedom   
   Oklahoma Executive Director, Nicole McAfee. “We’ll continue to talk with   
   legal organizations more specifically about what options might be for   
   students who are facing this force mass gendering. We’ll continue to   
   provide resources for educators, students and families alike. We hold   
   virtual monthly spaces where people can come get resources and just talk   
   to other folks who are trying to figure out what to do in this current   
   environment.”   
      
   The Board of Education was set to vote on the permanent rule in 2023,   
   but a new attorney for the Board of Education said further review was   
   needed.   
      
   The Board met Thursday and the rule was on the agenda.   
      
   Four out of five members were present at Thursday afternoon’s meeting   
   which meets the necessary quorum.   
      
   The Board unanimously approved the permanent rule.   
      
   After the Board meeting, Supt. Walters said, “We’re not going to   
   tolerate the woke Olympics in our schools of, you know, left wing   
   ideologues trying to push in. This radical gender theory is the most   
   radical concept we’ve ever come across in K-12 education. we need to be   
   worried about educating kids so we’re not going to worry about what the   
   game is. The left continues to try to play with our kids. Frankly, it’s   
   even more sinister than that. This is a war from the Biden   
   administration on traditional values, family values, our state. You   
   continue to see it from President Biden as he continues to up these   
   unbelievably aggressive measures against states.”
