At a time when the nation is confronting our deep-rooted racial inequity, legislators in a number of states have moved to restrict teaching about oppression, race, and gender. Details vary, but generally the bills prohibit teaching or training in public educational institutions about vaguely defined “divisive concepts,” including racism and oppression. Many include prohibitions on teaching about “critical race theory.” The bills also could preclude teaching about, or even discussing, topics such as systemic racism, antiracist theory, or white privilege.
