The Oklahoma Teacher Qualification Test from PragerU is finally up on their website (but you have to at least provide them fake contact info first): "Educators who pass the test will receive an official PragerU Teacher Certificate..." www.prageru.com/teacher-qual...

I'm struck that, as a certification exam for teachers, there are zero questions about actual teaching and learning and by how fundamentally weird some questions are? Why are there so many questions prompting would-be educators about the reproductive anatomy of children?

what is the fundamental biological distinction between males & females? chromosome and reproductive anatomy how is a child's biological sex typically identified? visual anatomical observation and chromosomes which chromosome pair determines biological sex in humans? XX/XY

The Pledge of Allegiance question caught my eye. A previous question identified the freedom to choose a religion without government influence, but then you force a person to answer with "under god" despite another option, which was the original Pledge for several decades.
