Texas GOP state lawmaker introduces bill to ban critical race theory in state public schools

On Monday, Republican state Rep. James White introduced HB 4093, an education bill looking to end the teaching of critical race theory in public schools throughout the Lone Star State.

  White’s measure would make it illegal for any teaching administrative bodies — including school districts and state agencies — to require teachers, administrators or employees to teach courses on concepts such as one race or sex being "inherently superior" to another or that "an individual, by virtue of his or her race or sex, is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously." Schools and teachers would also be forbidden to teach that a person should be treated differently or "discriminated against" based on their race or sex and that "members of one race or sex cannot and should not attempt to treat others without respect to race or sex."
