The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission has told Gov. Kevin Stitt it will consider him to have resigned as a member if he doesn’t respond to their invitation to discuss his signing of a bill Republicans have pushed as a ban on teaching critical race theory.
The commission urged Stitt to veto House Bill 1775, which prohibits teaching concepts like a student should feel guilty for historical events because of their race or sex. In a letter signed by Project Director Phil Armstrong, the commission said the new law will intimidate teachers who want to explore the underlying causes of the massacre and is diametrically opposed to their mission.

They didnt expect to see so many visitors testing the displays and gabbing with strangers, so they planned a sequel for 2020 that paid attention to social interaction but had to rethink the event when the pandemic hit.
