"Could a teacher who wants to talk about a factual instance of state-sponsored racism—like the establishment of Jim Crow, the series of laws that prevented Black Americans from voting or holding office and separated them from white people in public spaces—be considered in violation of these laws?

It’s also unclear whether these new bills are constitutional, or whether they impermissibly restrict free speech.

It would be extremely difficult, in any case, to police what goes on inside hundreds of thousands of classrooms. But social studies educators fear that such laws could have a chilling effect on teachers who might self-censor their own lessons out of concern for parent or administrator complaints."

As English teacher Mike Stein told Chalkbeat Tennessee about the new law: “History teachers can not adequately teach about the Trail of Tears, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. English teachers will have to avoid teaching almost any text by an African American author because many of them mention racism to various extents.”

The laws could also become a tool to attack other pieces of the curriculum, including ethnic studies and “action civics”—an approach to civics education that asks students to research local civic problems and propose solutions."

The concerns are implanted by folks with an agenda. The parents are being told, on purpose about Marxism.....has zero...zero to do with anything. Changing history to be taught our children should not be constrained or held back because of adults need for P activism.

I cannot believe any parent would consider shutting out real history from kids because it interferes with their P leaning.


What Is Critical Race Theory, and Why Is It Under Attack?

Teacher gets paid to teach state approved curriculum, they don’t get to teach off the cuff. It they can’t teach what state has approved, then they need to find another job. They don’t get to change history or state approved curriculum.
