Louisiana Governor Just BANNED ‘Critical Race Theory’ in Government Schools

“Critical race theory” (CRT) is the racially divisive, formerly fringe theory that groups of people are inherently inferior or superior to others based on race, ethnicity, sex or religion, and that the U.S. and its institutions are irredeemably racist.

Nice, right?

Government schools try to get away with teaching racially divisive ideas, but red state governors and lawmakers have become more savvy at recognizing “woke” classroom instruction and destroying it at the root: follow the money.

Governor Jeff Landry of Louisiana is the latest executive to take action against CRT. He signed an executive order on Monday to ban it from government schools.

“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,” Gov. 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. I am confident that under Dr. Brumley’s leadership our education system will continue to head in the right direction, prioritizing American values and common-sense teachings.”

Dr. Cade Brumley, the state’s superintendent of education, is doing great things down in Louisiana. In April, he advised school districts not to enforce the Biden administration’s new regulations that refined the word “sex” in federal anti-discrimination laws, which would violate girls’ privacy and undermine their safety.

Dr. Brumley wrote in a letter (PDF) to school districts that the new rules “could force educators to reference students by names and pronouns not consistent with their biological sex and also erode parent notification of such student desires.”

The U.S. Supreme Court has stopped enforcement of Title IX changes for now.
