State Lawmakers Bar Teaching Of Critical Race Theory In Tx Schools

(Austin, TX) — The Texas House and Senate have both passed bills to bar the teaching of critical race theory in Texas schools.

Critical race theory defines whites as privileged oppressors, and nonwhites as marginalized victims, and claims America was built to preserve these conditions. The House bill received final passage on Tuesday.

Both the House and Senate bills were passed along party lines, with Republicans supporting them, and Democrats calling them an attack on free speech.
