BOISE, Idaho (AP) The Idaho Senate on Monday approved legislation aimed at preventing public schools, charter schools and universities from “indoctrinating students through teaching critical race theory, which examines the ways in which race and racism influence American politics, culture and the law.
Lawmakers voted 28-7 to send the bill to Republican Gov. Brad Little. It passed the House last week.
Some GOP lawmakers are concerned belief systems will be forced on Idaho students, and want legislation addressing that concern before they will vote to approve a logjam of education budget bills that must be passed before the Legislature can wrap up the session, now third-longest in state history.
