Teachers would be prevented from promoting or compelling students to believe in a list of concepts that centers around racism and sexism under revisions made to House Bill 324, a controversial piece of legislation that attempts to set guidelines on how the countryâs racial history is taught in the stateâs public school classrooms.
Sen. Phil Berger introduced revisions to the bill on Wednesday.
âIt is an effort to make it clear that we want our teachers to teach the full history, but we do not want students to be indoctrinated, which is why the bill deals with prohibiting the promotion of certain aspects,â Berger told a Senate education committee.
