Texas Scorecard by Iris Poole April 30, 2021
“When Texan parents send their children to school, they expect their students to learn to think critically.”
This week, Senate Bill 2202 by State Sen Brandon Creighton (R–Conroe), legislation to stop Texas teachers from being compelled to teach controversial critical race theory, passed in the State Senate.
The legislation passed on an 18-13 party-line vote.
SB 2202 “promotes the adoption of a curriculum that promotes the understanding of the moral, political, and intellectual foundations of the country, the processes of governance at the local, state, and federal levels, and the founding documents of our nation.”
The bill states that a teacher may choose to discuss current or controversial topics in class, but school policies should not compel teachers to do so, and a teacher should promote “all diverse viewpoints on the issue.”
