A growing number of states are passing laws prohibiting inculcation of the quasi-Marxist critical race theory (CRT) in schools and other government institutions, in response to mounting opposition to the ideology.

Governors from Tennessee, Idaho, Arkansas, and Oklahoma have already signed anti-CRT bills. In Texas, Arizona, and Iowa, similar legislation is awaiting signatures from their governors.
