Rev. Dr. Mitch Randall v. Lindel Fields

Summary

The Oklahoma Supreme Court assumed original jurisdiction and held that the 2025 Oklahoma Academic Standards for Social Studies were adopted in violation of the Open Meeting Act, rendering them unenforceable. The Court affirmed that the 2019 standards remain in effect, dissolved the prior stay, and denied a writ of mandamus. It also clarified that legislative silence does not cure the statutory violation. The decision was issued as a non‑published opinion.
