Anti-critical race theory bill signed into law by Mississippi governor

Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves signed an anti-critical race theory bill into law.

Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves signed a law Monday banning "critical race theory" and limiting education on race in schools.

Senate Bill 2113, "Critical Race Theory; Prohibit," does not mention critical race theory by name except for in its title.

Critical race theory is a discipline taught in higher education that analyzes how racism has shaped U.S. laws and how those laws continue to impact the lives of non-white people.

The bill says that no public educational institution shall teach "that any sex, race, ethnicity, religion or national origin is inherently superior or inferior; or that individuals should be adversely treated on the basis of their sex, race, ethnicity, religion or national origin."
