The state House, also Republican-controlled, passed the bill earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>CRT is an ideology that says that racism is systemic and permeates every aspect of American culture, and is also the explanation for all \u201cinequities\u201d between races. It has become a controversial issue among parents in school districts across the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAcross this great country, we\u2019re seeing a full-court press by a vocal minority of well-organized and well-funded activists who seek to tear down the unity that has helped make our country great,\u201d Reeves <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?v=771428113837269&#038;ref=sharing\">said<\/a> Monday in a video message accompanying the bill signing ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChildren are dragged to the front of the classroom and are coerced to declare themselves as oppressors, taught that they should feel guilty because of the color of their skin or that they are inherently a victim because of their race,\u201d the governor continued. \u201cThat\u2019s why today, Mississippi is taking another step toward ensuring our kids receive the unbiased and impartial education they need to reach their full potential as individuals not as liberal operatives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reeves said he expects Critical Race Theory proponents to accuse Mississippi of preventing children from learning about \u201cimportant historical events\u201d like slavery or the Civil Rights Movement, an accusation he called \u201cflat-out wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll elements of Mississippi and all elements of American history, both the good and the bad, should be taught in our schools, period,\u201d Reeves said.<\/p>\n<p>Mississippi Superintendent of Education Carey Wright has claimed that CRT is not taught in Mississippi\u2019s K-12 public schools.<\/p>\n<p>At least 10 states have passed legislation to crack down on CRT in schools, Mississippi, Idaho, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Arizona, and North Dakota.<\/p>\n<p>More than two dozen more states have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chalkbeat.org\/22525983\/map-critical-race-theory-legislation-teaching-racism\">introduced<\/a> similar laws or policies, although not all have resulted in enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the bills, including Mississippi\u2019s, do not mention CRT explicitly or define it but allude to ideas associated with the ideology.<\/p>\n<p>The laws differ by state, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/blog\/fixgov\/2021\/07\/02\/why-are-states-banning-critical-race-theory\/\">they tend<\/a> to ban teaching the idea the U.S. is an inherently racist country or discussing ideas like conscious and unconscious bias, privilege, discrimination, and oppression.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
