Black Lawmakers Walk Out As Mississippi Senate Passes Anti-'Critical Race Theory' Bill

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Mississippi’s Black state senators walked out of a vote on Friday, protesting a Republican-backed bill that purports to ban “critical race theory” in schools.

All 14 Black state senators — all of whom are Democrats — withheld their votes when they walked out, and the bill passed 32-2. (Two white Democrats voted against the bill, The Associated Press reported).

While the bill is titled “critical race theory,” its text does not mention critical race theory at all.

Actual critical race theory is an academic discipline usually studied in graduate or law school that focuses on how racism is embedded in the country’s legal, political and social institutions.

1. This whole republican sham about critical race theory is very distressing.

It really is about white people not being able to accept the 21st century.

2. I'd like to see a push to ban

the teaching of White Replacement Theory in public schools and let FOX news suck on that. Let’s cancel that too.

3. These states are trying to kill Martin Luther King a second time.

I just don't know how we can move forward as a nation, when one party is trying so hard to push us backwards.

4. So no more 'Hamilton'?
