Since when? Schools have been promoting Marxism for the last 30 years.
proud to be an Iowan this morning...
Now have all public school teachers pass a monthly criminal and mental background check.
The NEW Three R’s:
Radicalism
Race Baiting
Rioting...............................
I hope this law is written so that it can’t be successfully challenged on the basis of free speech. It’s one thing to say that state institutions cannot require the teaching of CRT or teach classes specified as promoting it, but forbidding individuals from promoting it is another matter. But perhaps we can use a page out of the lib’s playbook to ban even the latter. Maybe we can declare CRT to be “offensive” to some people.
Nice going, Iowa!
Being in Nebraska, I am glad to see IA is at least trying to fight off a complete liberal takeover.
Should not be promoting LGBQ+ either. All that crap should be banned too.

The state of Iowa has passed groundbreaking new laws that ban far-left Critical Race Theory (CRT) from being taught or promoted in government-funded agencies, schools, or universities.
Iowa’s Republican governor, Kim Reynolds, signed the new legislation into law this week, effective from next month.
Reynolds warned that the Marxist ideology has no place in the education system, noting that schools have a responsibility to “promote learning.”
“Critical Race Theory is about labels and stereotypes, not education,” the governor said in a statement.
“It teaches kids that we should judge others based on race, gender or sexual identity, rather than the content of someone’s character,” Reynolds added, according to the Des Moines Register.
“I am proud to have worked with the legislature to promote learning, not discriminatory indoctrination.”

Gov. Kim Reynolds signed the bill into Iowa state law this week
The new law, House File 802, goes into effect July 1.
The legislation does not specifically name Critical Race Theory, but outlaws more specific concepts and Marxism-rooted ideals often associated with the study.

CRT analyzes how race and racism shaped the United States and continue to influence the U.S. today in the form of alleged inequalities among races.
Critics of the theory say that it oversimplifies and misdiagnoses the causes of inequality in the United States.
It also promotes damaging falsehoods such as the existence of widespread, systemic racism in the United States.

The new law bans government agencies, schools, and public universities from teaching that the U.S. or Iowa is systemically racist.
The legislation also outlaws a number of other “specifically defined concepts” summarized by WOI-DT:
That one race or sex is inherently superior to another race or sex.
That the United States of America and the state of Iowa are fundamentally or systemically racist or sexist.
That an individual, solely because of the individual’s race or sex, is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously.
That an individual should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment solely or partly because of the individual’s race or sex.
That members of one race or sex cannot and should not attempt to treat others without respect to race or sex.
That an individual’s moral character is necessarily determined by the individual’s race or sex.
That an individual, by virtue of the individual’s race or sex, bears responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex.
That any individual should feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of that individual’s race or sex.
That meritocracy or traits such as hard work ethic are racist or sexist, or were created by a particular race to oppress another race.
Any other form of race or sex scapegoating or any other form of race or sex stereotyping.
State and local governments, as well as concerned parents, are acting to purge critical race theory from schools, colleges, and other institutions across the United States, according to The Daily Wire.
Several states such as Florida have already taken steps to ban it in schools, and parents in states such as New York are fighting on the local level with school boards drafting plans to implement such curriculum.

See what happens when you don’t teach the horrors of Communism in schools?
Civics has a role.
So does history.
One of these days y’all at nnettle are gonna shock everyone by doing some original reporting instead of this copycat trash.
What is wrong with all these “educators” in this country that we should even have to fight such a thing?! It’s insane. It’s evil.
