What’s inside: The section of the LEARNS Act in question bans critical race theory. It defines “prohibited indoctrination” as communication by a public school employee, representative or guest speaker that compels a person to adopt, affirm or profess an idea that people are inferior or superior based on protected classes like race and sex.
Reality check: Critical race theory is a college-level framework which holds that racism is baked into the formation of the nation and ingrained in our legal, financial and education systems.
It’s seldom taught in public schools, especially grade schools.
It seems pretty ironic that, in future studies of critical race theory, the current era of trying to ban the teaching of CRT will be used as a textbook example of how ingrained in our culture racism really is
