NC House passes measure to limit teaching of race in schools
The Associated Press
North Carolina House Republicans approved a plan on Wednesday to prohibit public schools from embracing certain ideas that critically examine how race and racism influence American politics, culture and law.
The measure passed by a vote of 65 to 48 and now heads to the Senate. If approved, it would go to Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper s desk. Reps. Dana Bumgardner, Kelly Hastings, and John Torbett, all Gaston County Republicans, voted for the bill.
“This bill does not change what history can or cannot be taught,” said Rep. John Torbett, R-Gaston. It simply prevents schools from teaching discriminatory concepts.”
