Florida’s state school board on Thursday voted to ban the teaching of critical race theory in public schools amid a push from Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis to eliminate the ideology from its classrooms.

During a meeting before the State Board of Education’s vote, some opponents of critical race theory said it is Marxist and should be blocked.
