GOP members introduce bills banning Critical Race Theory

MADISON (WKOW) -- A series of Republican-backed bills would ban particular lessons on race in K-12 schools, colleges, and in training for government workers.
The bill's authors introduced them Thursday at the Capitol, continuing a trend of conservative lawmakers taking aim at lessons involving Critical Race Theory, which argue many of the country's foundational tenets are rooted in racism.
The bills include a set of restrictions on types of lessons that would be banned; in some cases, they're open to interpretation which critics say could flood school boards with complaints.
Across the three bills, lessons and training could not make some feel as though they're at fault for the past actions of people who were of the same race or gender.21-3355_1
