Commentary
Texas is a leader among states in passing strong legislation designed to ensure that K-12 schools cannot easily indoctrinate students with dangerous critical theories. Its newly amended law, SB3 (pdf), ensures that protections against indoctrination extend to all courses, not just social studies. In addition, it passed the “American Patriotism” bill.
