The legislation has nothing in its actual text about critical race theory, but Democrats are concerned it will stifle discussion of racism in schools.
is an academic discipline usually studied in graduate or law school that focuses on how racism is embedded in the country’s legal, political and social institutions.
The Mississippi bill’s language doesn’t actually change anything specific: It simply says that no school or education institution should teach students “that any sex, race, ethnicity… is inherently superior or inferior” or that “individuals should be adversely treated on the basis of their sex, race, ethnicity.”
The bill does not even include penalties for teaching the above, and its broad, vague language means it is unlikely to change what is taught in schools.
