State superintendent leads fight against critical race theory in schools

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jillian Balow showed her full support Friday morning for legislation designed to fight back against critical race theory in state schools.

She was alongside state Sen. Ogden Driskill, R-Devils Tower, and the Civic Transparency Act’s creator, and co-sponsor Senate President Dan Dockstader, R-Afton. They stood in front of the state superintendent’s office inside the Capitol to introduce and discuss the importance of their bill, which will be introduced during the 2022 budget session.

They said their goal is to establish Wyoming as a leader among the states in keeping critical race theory out of classrooms, while ensuring full transparency of teachers’ curriculums.

“This bill empowers parents with the tools they need to oversee what is being taught in their district, and provides guidance to districts on comprehensive U.S. history and civics instruction,” Balow said.

I waded thru an article because I still don’t know exactly what it means. Neither did the author of the article, but that didn’t stop him bashing it. I think most RW don’t know what it means but they sure hate it.

RWers not only know how to push people's buttons, they create the buttons to be pushed.
