This story first published online at NC Policy Watch.Â
North Carolina joined a growing list of states Tuesday pushing legislation that could restrict how Americaâs racial history is taught in schools.
House Bill 324, which the House Education Committee approved on a voice vote, prohibits schools from promoting concepts that suggest America is racist and that people are inherently racist or sexist, whether consciously or unconsciously.
HB 324 also prohibits teachers from promoting the concept that anyone is responsible for the sins of their forefathers.
The full House is expected to vote on the bill Wednesday.
