Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves on Monday signed into law a bill described as a prohibition on critical race theory, becoming the latest Republican-controlled state to legislate how history and race can be taught in schools.
Reeves, a Republican, posted a video of him signing the bill, saying,"In too many schools around the US, CRT is running amok.

Republican Chris McDaniel -- who co-authored the bill -- told CNN in February CRT promotes"victimhood" instead of student success."Here in Mississippi, we were thinking about a way that our children, particularly in K-12, were taught not to be victims but instead to be successful.
