MSNBC's Joy Reid claims Republicans want to ban students from learning about Juneteenth

MSNBC host Joy Reid made a series of false claims about legislation banning critical race theory on Thursday.

She then singled out Texas and its Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, showing a Texas Tribune headline onscreen that read, "Texas ‘critical race theory’ bill limiting teaching of current events signed into law." However, the article that Reid cites stated the bill mandates students be taught the history of white supremacy and slavery.  "It also mandates that students be taught ‘the history of white supremacy, including but not limited to the institution of slavery, the eugenics movement, and the Ku Klux Klan, and the ways in which it is morally wrong,’" the Tribune reported.
