State politicians in Alabama are expected to discuss a bill to stop colleges from teaching critical race theory. Thus, it would not allow teachers to take about why John Lewis was beaten during a voting rights march in 1965 or why knowing this part of Black history is important.
In Mississippi and Florida, legislators are considering bills that would ban history lessons if they will cause students discomfort, especially about their race.
The New Hampshire bill signed by its Republican governor in June 2021 prohibits “any doctrine or theory promoting a negative account or representation of the founding and history of the United States of America.”
Teaching Black History Month is especially fraught this year : NPR |
Not teaching "Critical Race Theory" should have nothing to do with teaching about John Lewis... Completely separate issues...
And I'd like to see links to those other claims, as the synopsis given could be complete BS...
P.S. I just checked on the SD claim. Just as I thought... BS...
"As Noem pitched the bill in the Legislature, she insisted it would not water down historical facts like the Wounded Knee Massacre...."
