Public schools in Texas are one step closer to no longer being required to teach about various American civil rights movements in social studies classes.
Bloomberg reports that on Friday, the state Senate voted 18-4 to pass Senate Bill 3, which drops requirements for teachers to include lessons on Cesar Chavez, Susan B. Anthony, the history of Native Americans, the writings of Martin Luther King, Jr. and other figures and documents in their curriculums.
This comes after Gov. Greg Abbott previously signed a bill that banned teachers from discussing critical race theory and the 1619 Project, while also dictating how they should teach about current events in their classrooms. The idea behind this new bill is to more explicitly define what can and can’t be taught.
According to Bloomberg, it would also prevent teachers from speaking about current events or controversial issues without “giving deference to any one perspective.”
While the historical significance of the events need to be remembered, the CRT indoctrination is causing the teaching to be slanted as far opposite reality as the basis for removing Confederate statues.
I remember the uproar of how the earth was formed.
God or science.
Miss those days!
