Critical Race Theory

The session enters it's third full week on Monday. It's scheduled to wrap up by March 11.

A bill that attempts to limit the teaching of Critical Race Theory in Wyoming schools has passed the Wyoming Senate on third and final reading.

One bill targeting the teaching of Critical Race Theory in Wyoming schools has been defeated, while another is moving on in the legislature.

Critical race theory teaches that American institutions and society are inherently racist and biased against people of color.

Senate File 62 would force Wyoming school districts to prominently post learning materials [such as books] and activities used to teach students on the district website.

Wyoming Senators Lummis and Barrasso, along with 9 other Senators, have accused the Biden Administration of "colluding" with Teacher's Unions to "silence" parents who oppose Critical Race Theory and COVID-19 mandates.

Superintendent Jillian Balow, who has been a vocal critic of Critical Race Theory in Wyoming Classrooms, has come out strong in favor of the legislation.

The legislation would require that "civics curriculum and materials would be published on school district websites so that parents and taxpayers could review them.''

At least seven states have banned the teaching of critical race theory. Twenty more are either considering doing so or are expected to consider it.
