Texas Senate Bill Drops Teaching Requirement That Ku Klux Klan Is ‘Morally Wrong’

Eliminated requirements also include the writings of Martin Luther King Jr., United Farm Workers leader Cesar Chavez and suffragist Susan B. Anthony.

July 19, 2021

In a new political low in Texas, the Republican-dominated state Senate has passed a bill to eliminate a requirement that public schools teach that the Ku Klux Klan and its white supremacist campaign of terror are “morally wrong.”

The cut is among some two dozen curriculum requirements dropped in the measure, along with studying Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, the works of United Farm Workers leader Cesar Chavez, Susan B. Anthony’s writings about the women’s suffragist movement, and Native American history.

Critics say the state is promoting an “anti-civics” education.

Guarantee that it is really about eliminating CRT. Nobody should teach that so and so was morally wrong. Let the student decide.

It's kind of self-evident

I don't think schools should be telling people what or who is morally wrong/right tbh. Just tell us the facts and we can think for ourselves.

Come to think of it, they didn’t focus much on Ku Klux Klan when I was in grade school. They brought it up very vaguely.

The Ku Klux Klan was a Democrat organisation, not from Republicans.

Why should it matter?

we don't want to be associated with the KKK. also illustrates that the democrats have always been the racist party - they just switched the race.
