Texas Teachers Criticize Law Targeting Critical Race Theory

The video discusses the concerns of Texas teachers regarding House Bill 3979, which aims to restrict the teaching of critical race theory (CRT) in schools. Teachers argue that the law is politically motivated and creates confusion, as CRT is not part of the K-12 curriculum. The law also imposes limitations on discussing racism and current events. Teachers like Diane Birdwell are advocating against these legislative actions, emphasizing the need for open dialogue in education.
