Patrick said. &#8220;When parents send their children to school, they want their students to learn critical thinking without being indoctrinated with misinformation charging that America and our Constitution are rooted in racism.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Texans roundly reject the &#8216;woke&#8217; philosophies that espouse that one race or sex is better than another and that someone, by virtue of their race or sex, is innately racist, oppressive or sexist,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>The bill would require teachers to teach viewpoints on race relations and how they shaped history &#8220;from diverse and contending perspectives without giving deference to any one perspective.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mark Wiggins, a lobbyist for The Association of Professional Educators, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MarkWigginsTX\/status\/1395944349481975809?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1395944349481975809%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fthehill.com%2Fhomenews%2Fstate-watch%2F554913-texas-legislature-bans-teaching-of-critical-race-theory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweeted<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;By telling teachers what and how to teach and ordering TEA to play police, HB 3979 may be one of the most disrespectful bills to teachers I&#8217;ve seen the #txlege dignify with debate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Other such bills have sprung up across the country.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, 20 state attorney generals sent a letter to Education Secretary Miguel Cardona stating how their states oppose critical race theory being taught in classrooms.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The proposed priorities are a thinly veiled attempt at bringing into our states&#8217; classrooms the deeply flawed and controversial teachings of Critical Race Theory and the 1619 Project,&#8221; the letter read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Texas Senate passed legislation Saturday that would ban Critical Race Theory from being taught in schools.
