The measure prohibits racially discriminatory mascots, images, sounds or songs in schools. And counties can no longer sound sirens that once signified it was time for certain people to leave town.
Here’s a question: If America isn’t and never has been a racist country (it is, but stay with me) as the massive Republican swath of white and fragile Critical Race Theory opponents claim, then why are there still entire states that are just now getting rid of its “sundown town” sirens? Why TF did American states ever even have the sirens if America wasn’t and isn’t a racist country? And we’re not just talking about states in the deep south full of people clinging to their precious antebellum roots (not that they’re racist AF or anything) we’re talking about fucking Nevada.
