NC House divided over how, whether to teach America’s racist past
Travis Fain, WRAL – North Carolina Republicans pushed a measure through the state House on Wednesday that would limit “critical race theory” and other discussions of America’s racist past in public schools. Black Democrats and the House’s lone Native American, called the bill anti-history, anti-education and, in the words of Rep. Kandie Smith, D-Pitt, tantamount “to a book burning.” They said it would hamstring teachers, leaving them confused about the rules and fearful to lead frank discussions on race and the sadder epochs of American history.
