Idaho becomes first state to ban Critical Race Theory in public school
VICTORY: Idaho becomes the first state in the nation to ban critical race theory indoctrination in public schools. Governor Brad Little signed the bill into law, which will prohibit schools from promoting race essentialism, collective guilt, and neo-segregation. A historic win! pic.twitter.com/Df4f3SiFg2— Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ (@realchrisrufo) April 29, 2021
Republican Idaho Governor Brad Little signs bill banning critical race theory from the state’s schools.
No public institution of higher education, school district, or public school, including a public charter school, shall direct or otherwise compel students to personally affirm, adopt, or adhere to any of the following tenets: That any sex, race, ethnicity, religion, color, or national origin is inherently superior or inferior; That individuals should be adversely treated on the basis of their sex, race, ethnicity, religion, color, or national origin; or that individuals, by virtue of sex, race, ethnicity, religion, color, or national origin, are inherently responsible for actions committed in the past by other members of the same sex, race, ethnicity, religion, color, or national origin.
No distinction or classification of students shall be made on account of race or color. No course of instruction or unit of study directing or otherwise compelling students to personally affirm, adopt, or adhere to any of the tenets identified in paragraph (a) of this subsection shall be used or introduced in any institution of higher education, any school district, or any public school, including a public charter school.

Good. CRT is a Marxist attack on the Constitutional U.S.
I bet they don’t mess with Mr. Potato Head, either.
CRT is Systematic Racism.
Now watch Biden ban federal funds to Idaho.
Go, Idaho!!
If every state said “NO!” to “federal funds” (ie, our tax money), we would be a lot freer nation.
Good for them!
If there are no criminal penalties this is useless.
“A historic win!”
Not quite yet.
1) they will keep teaching it. 100%. Guaranteed.
2) a Federal court will rule the law unconstitutional. 100%. Guaranteed.
3) the Supreme Court will deny cert. 100%. Guaranteed.
THEN we will see about “victory”, if the people are willing to pay the price to enforce their own laws.
I am very doubtful, but I’m far away from Idaho. Idahoans, please comment.
Good!
Yup. That will be the countermove by Xiden.
Hopefully, Idaho has a contingency for that and maintains it's political spine.
Ditto that!
It's got one of the longest running "Trifecta's" in the country. (R) control of their state government since 1995.
Obviously the fed's will withhold dollars and fight them in the courts (and ultimately side with the feds).
Idaho has never had a (D) Trifecta. For comparison, Texas had a (D) Trifecta the year prior, in 1994.
If there is a state out there that's going to fight back against those odds...Idaho is near the top of the very short list.
The Left, using CRT, seeks to “re-racialize” American society, via the Education System. They push segregation, racial stereotyping, racial discrimination, racial violence, fraud, and hate. These are exactly the evils all my liberal professors warned us about in college... two generations ago.
“If there are no criminal penalties this is useless.”
And funding for enforcement, as it turns out.
The Legal System is a morass.
They used to blackmail states in the days of the 55 mph speed limit by threatening to withhold highway funds if it wasn’t enforced. I don’t remember if it was Wyoming or Montana who came within 1 or 2 votes of telling DC to stick their highway money where the Sun don’t shine.
You go Idaho!
I’m surprised Texas was not the first to ban it, but I am sure they will soon follow as will most of the red states. Forcing critical race theory into the classroom to poison young minds is a disgusting obscenity that spits in the face of the constitution’s equal protection clause
