Yes, although I'm not convinced that the state legislature should automatically wade into highly fraught curriculum battles. In most cases, I would prefer for the relevant authority to prohibit such a thing.
State legislatures set curriculum standards for public schools in their states. They *are* the relevant authority. And if, on principle, you would support a ban on a Klan-based curriculum, it is certainly legitimate to ban a CRT-based curriculum.

CA, WA, OR, and IL have all passed state legislation mandating CRT principles into the state curricula and teacher training programs. It's certainly legitimate for TX, OK, TN, and FL to *prohibit* this. That's the nature of democratic control and federalism.

I don't think "CRT-based curriculum" is anywhere close to rigidly defined enough that banning it actually accomplishes what you want to accomplish.
-
I don't believe the average school board member even knows what CRT is. Again. The problem is curriculum based on social justice ideology, which is MUCH easier to define, and way more broad in scope.

Damn. I didn't expect Robby to get undressed that thoroughly and quickly.

I know, I figured I'd have to buy him a drink first

I like your work Chris, but think Robbie has a good point here: "Foes of critical race theory should spend their time more productively by working to ban racial discrimination in schools." (as opposed to targeting curriculums.).
-
Racial discrimination in public schools has been banned since 1964. We have a new problem; we need new laws.
