Black members of Mississippi's Senate walked out of the chamber in protest Friday before a vote on a bill described as a prohibition on critical race theory on the state legislative calendar.
Senate Bill 2113 would forbid public schools in the state from forcing students to agree"that any sex, race, ethnicity, religion or national origin is inherently superior or inferior." The bill does not mention or define critical race theory. And it doesn't ban educators from teaching any specific subject matter. Critical race theory is a concept that seeks to understand and address inequality and racism in the US.
