Are There Any School Districts Banning The Teaching of White Nationalism or Anti-Semitism?

Now, you might hear school boards respond that they don't teach this, so why pass resolutions banning it? Well, this does not keep schools from catering to racists by banning critical race theory because it is racist. So, why not actually ban the teaching of racist ideologies?

...these racist school boards would suddenly respond without any sense of irony that a rule banning the teaching of white nationalism is inconsistent with the First Amendment and that schools should not cater to political correctness about racism.

Lets make no mistake that the bans on critical race theory is just an affirmation of white supremacy.

[Religious Right leaders in Texas have been waging war against science and history for the past few decades. A primary target and battleground has been the state’s public schools, in particular the statewide approval process for textbooks. People For the American Way Foundation first started working with Texans to resist Religious Right takeovers of textbooks back in the 1980s.]

…the idea that any advancement of minorities or immigrants is necessarily anti-white. Indeed, rather than push the advancement of the working class and middle class, you end up having working class whites working hard on the oppression of their would be allies as well as themselves.

This was even brought up by Tucker Carlson in defense against BLM and the problem at the Boarder. I think it was started in 1930s Germany.
