The Texas Senate has voted to pass a bill that would remove a requirement for public school teachers to teach that the Ku Klux Klan is 'morally wrong.'
The House bill requires that"historical documents related to the civic accomplishments of marginalized populations" be taught in public school classrooms. Among dozens of examples listed in the bill are women's suffrage and equal rights, and the history and importance of the civil rights movement including the teaching of Martin Luther King Jr.'s"I Have a Dream" speech.
It will also require teaching about the accomplishments of United Farm Workers leader Cesar Chavez, Susan B. Anthony's writings about the women's suffragist movement, and Native American history. The bill further states that public school educators must teach"the history of white supremacy" including slavery, the Ku Klux Klan, and ways in which the white supremacist hate group was"morally wrong.
The Senate bill has to be considered in the House but cannot move forward because a large group of House Democrats went to D.C.More than a dozen other states are either considering or have signed bills that would limit the teaching of certain ideas linked to “critical race theory,” the academic study of racism’s pervasive impact.
