Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill last year banning the teaching of CRT. In his defense, the law does mandate the teaching of some significant racial topics, such as the KKK and slavery, but it does appear to be a way to limit open discussion of current events as they relate to race. Like many state and federal laws, it's basically a hammer where a scalpel would make more sense. And its reactionary.

That was definitely my experience as well. Punishment at school basically guaranteed more punishment when I got home.

I know, right?
After the Civil War was over, the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) went about rewriting the history of the South, slavery and the cause of the war. This included having a significant impact on school history books and the erecting of pro-Confederacy monuments around the country and naming of significant places after Confederate leaders. Now that was a coordinated effort to white wash history.
Why is it so?
