The Texas Senate passed a bill early Saturday morning that would ban schools from requiring teachers to discuss polarizing Race-Based "Critical Race Theory" and other racially divisive topics in classrooms. It now heads to the governor’s desk.
Critical Race Theory views all of American history through the lens of race, and usually convicts those of white ancestry of crimes against those of black or brown ancestry. Many view the theory as unnecessarily racially centered, politically leftist in focus, and divisive.
The Texas House passed the bill (HB 3979) on May 11, but will have to approve it again in a conference committee, due to changes made by the Senate.
State Sen. Bryan Hughes tweeted:
"We must teach the truth about our history, & judge others based on the content of character & not the color of skin."
