The head of Louisiana’s House Education Committee introduced a bill that would make it illegal to teach about systemic racism and sexism at Louisiana universities and K-12 schools that receive state funds. The bill was presented April 2 for the upcoming Louisiana Legislature’s 2021 regular session by Rep. Ray Garofalo and is pending in the House Education Committee. It would prevent universities and K-12 schools that receive state funds from teaching “that either the United States of America or the state of Louisiana is fundamentally, institutionally or systemically racist.” Furthermore, it would outlaw teaching that “the concepts of capitalism, free markets or working for a private party in exchange for wages are racist and sexist or oppress a given race or sex.”
