N. Carolina GOP would ban K-12 promotion of CRT

 

North Carolina Republicans advanced legislation on Wednesday that defines how teachers can discuss certain concepts about race and racism inside the classroom.

GOP Senate leader Phil Berger said his chamber is taking action as Republicans across the country seek to counter the push to teach Critical Race Theory which promotes the false teaching that if a person is born with white skin, that individual is automatically classified as an oppressor of black people.

"We don't want to indoctrinate folks in what I think is the core of critical race theory, which is that race is determinative of whether or not someone is going to be successful, that race is determinative of all matter of things that happen in society and that past discrimination justifies current discrimination," Berger told The Associated Press in an interview before unveiling the updated education measure.
