Louisiana governor issues back-to-school order banning critical race theory in K-12 public classrooms
Fox News
Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry issued a ban on "divisive" CRT teachings in K-12 schools that instruct students "through the lens of race and victimhood."
"This executive order is a much-needed sigh of relief for parents and students across our state, especially as kids are heading back to school," Landry said in a statement. "Teaching children that they are currently or destined to be oppressed or to be an oppressor based on their race and origin is wrong and has no place in our Louisiana classrooms."
