He has also tried to require #SocialStudies teachers to promote #conspiracies about the 2020 election, track the #immigration status of #children in #schools & require applicants for teacher jobs coming from #California & #NewYork to pass an exam designed to safeguard what he described as “radical leftist ideology.”
